What does AST on a blood test mean?
AST stands for aspartate transaminase. It is an enzyme found in various cells, including liver cells, and elevated levels may indicate liver damage, but must be interpreted in the context of other liver tests, as it is not only found in liver cells, but other cell types as well. THIS TEST IS FOR LIVER PROBLEMS! CAN YOU BETTER DEFINE YOUR QUESTION AS RELATED TO A CURRETN CONDITION? An initial step in detecting liver damage is a simple blood test to determine the presence of certain liver enzymes in the blood. Under normal circumstances, these enzymes reside within the cells of the liver. But when the liver is injured for any reason, these enzymes are spilled into the blood stream. Enzymes are proteins that are present throughout the body, each with a unique function. Enzymes help to speed up (catalyze) routine and necessary chemical reactions in the body. Among the most sensitive and widely used of these liver enzymes are the aminotransferases. They include aspartate aminotransferase (AST or SGOT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT). These enzymes are normally contained within liver cells. If the liver is injured, the liver cells spill the enzymes into blood, raising the enzyme levels in the blood and signaling the liver damage.

What does sufa in sgot test indicate?

What happens when Pyruvate reacts with dinitrophenylhydrazine in SGOT?

What is symbol for liver enzymes on blood test?
Liver enzymes in blood tests are ALT/SGPT (alanine aminotransferase) and AST/SGOT (aspartate aminotransferase).
Why SGOT and SGPT count increases?
When the liver gets damaged or injured or if it is producing in excess, these enzymes leak out into the blood and the levels of SGOT and SGPT become elevated.
What is the sgot test for?
The SGOT test is used to measure GOT, or glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase, present in the blood. This is an enzyme usually found in the liver, red blood cells, and muscles, but it will show in the blood when the carrier cells are damaged.
What is SGOT test for?
The SGOT test is used to measure GOT, or glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase, present in the blood. This is an enzyme usually found in the liver, red blood cells, and muscles, but it will show in the blood when the carrier cells are damaged.
High sgot sgpt?
The high SGOT and SGPT are usually as a result of either a sick liver or heart.
What does low sgot level in blood mean?
Transaminases (SGTP) & (SGOT): These are enzymes that are primarily found in the liver. Drinking too much alcohol, certain drugs, liver disease and bile duct disease can cause high levels in the blood. Hepatitis is another problem that can raise these levels. Low levels of GGTP may indicate a magnesium deficiency. Low levels of SGPT and SGOT may indicate deficiency of vitamin B6.
Definition of hepadiet medicine?

What is sgt blood test for?
I think you are referring to the SGOT blood test? If you search online for that you'll find plenty of information.
What does a low SGPT level on a liver function test mean?
Low levels of SGPT and SGOT may indicate deficiency of vitamin B6.
Which lab test is specific to hepatocellular damage?
Typically, the liver function tests include monitoring SGOT and SGPT. In addition, globulin and bilirubin are monitored.
