About test
What does ASPARTATE AMINOTRANSFERASE (SGOT ) measure?
The Aspartate Aminotransferase (SGOT/AST) test measures the level of an enzyme found in several body tissues, including the liver, heart, muscles, and kidneys. It may be used to help assess liver cell injury or monitor known liver conditions. Healthcare professionals may also order it when evaluating muscle injury or as part of a broader liver function assessment. Results are interpreted alongside other laboratory tests and clinical information.
