    What is Aspartate Amino Transferase (AST / SGOT) Test?

    The Aspartate Aminotransferase AST (SGOT) test checks the blood for AST enzyme levels. It is primarily performed to evaluate liver function. AST, or SGOT (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase), is an enzyme present in various tissues, with the liver, heart, and muscles containing the highest amounts. It is crucial for amino acid metabolism, helping in the transfer of amino groups between molecules. The AST test is usually included in liver function assessments and helps in diagnosing and tracking liver diseases. It may also aid in detecting other medical conditions. Mumbai residents who wish to monitor their liver function can easily book an Aspartate Aminotransferase AST (SGOT) Test from home.

    Aspartate Amino Transferase (AST / SGOT) Test Parameters

    The AST test evaluates how much AST/SGOT enzyme is present in the bloodstream. Healthy individuals typically have low AST levels. When liver cells or other tissues are injured, they release AST, leading to an increase in blood levels. Elevated AST may suggest liver damage, muscle disorders, or systemic health conditions. In contrast, low AST levels are usually harmless and fall within the normal range.

    Aspartate Amino Transferase (AST / SGOT) Test Preparation

    Follow these guidelines before taking the test:

    • Prerequisites

    Fasting is not typically required for an AST test. However, if you have liver disease or other medical concerns, your doctor may provide specific guidelines, including fasting.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    You can schedule the AST test at any time during the day that suits you.

    • Who Should Get an AST Test?

    The AST test is recommended for individuals who:

    • Need an assessment of liver function.

    • Exhibit symptoms of liver conditions like jaundice, weakness, or stomach pain.

    • Have hepatitis, fatty liver disease, or muscle disorders.

    • Are on liver disease treatment and require progress monitoring.

    • Cautions Before Taking an AST Test

    Discuss any medications, herbal products, or supplements with your doctor, as they could influence AST test results.

    Why Take the Aspartate Amino Transferase (AST / SGOT) Test?

    The AST test is used to assess liver function and detect possible liver disorders. Your doctor may recommend this test if you have symptoms such as:

    • Nausea and vomiting

    • Dark urine or pale stools

    • Loss of appetite

    • Fatigue or general weakness

    • Swollen legs or ankles

    • Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)

    • Abdominal pain or swelling

    • Persistent itching

    Apart from diagnosing liver-related conditions, the AST test has several other applications:

    • Routine Health Screening: Often part of comprehensive metabolic panels, AST testing helps evaluate general health, even in those without symptoms.

    • Liver Disease Risk Assessment: Individuals with obesity, diabetes, a family history of liver disease, excessive alcohol intake, or hepatitis exposure may require regular AST testing.

    • Monitoring Liver Function: The test tracks liver disease progression and evaluates how medications or therapies affect liver health.

    • Detecting Other Tissue Damage: Elevated AST levels may signal issues with the heart or muscles, as this enzyme is present in various tissues.

    By offering crucial insights into liver function and overall health, the AST test plays a key role in disease prevention and management.
