What a high SGOT/AST means, and common causes

This enzyme is raised. It comes from the liver but also from heart and skeletal muscle, so a high value is not automatically a liver problem.

Common causes: Fatty liver, alcohol (which typically raises SGOT more than SGPT), viral hepatitis, medicines, heart muscle injury, muscle injury or very heavy exercise, and some muscle disorders.

What a low SGOT/AST means, and common causes

A low SGOT is not clinically significant.

Common causes: Vitamin B6 deficiency and chronic kidney disease.

Frequently asked questions

Roughly 8 to 40 U/L for men and 8 to 32 U/L for women.

A ratio above 2 points towards alcohol-related liver disease, while a ratio below 1 is more typical of fatty liver or viral hepatitis. It is a clue, not a diagnosis.

Yes. Heavy weight training or an unaccustomed workout in the days before the test can raise both SGOT and CPK. Repeating after a week of rest usually clarifies it.

Dono liver enzymes hain, lekin SGOT dil aur muscles se bhi aata hai. Isliye SGPT liver ke liye zyada specific maana jaata hai.

Please note. This page explains what a number means against reference ranges for your age and gender. It does not diagnose anything, cannot see the rest of your report, and is no substitute for a doctor. If your lab’s printed range differs, your lab’s range applies.
