The SGOT (Serum Glutamic-Oxaloacetic Transaminase) test, also known as AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase) test, is a blood test used to measure the level of this enzyme in the bloodstream. AST is primarily found in the liver, heart, muscles, kidneys, and brain. Here’s a detailed description of the SGOT (AST) test service.

Liver Function Assessment: AST is often measured as part of liver function tests to evaluate liver health and detect liver diseases such as hepatitis, fatty liver disease, or cirrhosis.

Diagnosis of Heart Conditions: Elevated AST levels can also indicate heart issues, such as myocardial infarction (heart attack).
