What is an SGOT Test?

An SGOT test is a simple blood test that measures the level of an enzyme called Serum Glutamic-Oxaloacetic Transaminase in your bloodstream. This enzyme is now more commonly known as Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST).

The SGOT test helps detect liver damage and monitor liver function, though it can also indicate damage to other organs like the heart or muscles. The test requires a small sample of blood, typically drawn from a vein in your arm.

There is no specific best time for the SGOT test as it can be performed at any time of day. However, it's often done in the morning when included in comprehensive health check-ups or liver function test panels.

Fasting is generally not required for a standalone SGOT test. However, when performed as part of a liver function test panel, you may need to fast for 8-12 hours for accurate results.

Yes, severe dehydration can potentially concentrate blood components, including enzymes like SGOT, leading to falsely elevated results. It's advisable to stay adequately hydrated before your test for accurate readings.

Continue your normal diet unless fasting is required for additional tests. Inform your doctor about all medications and supplements, as some can affect SGOT levels. Avoid intense exercise before testing.
