Overview

Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST/SGOT)

Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST/SGOT)

Evaluating Liver Health & Tissue Damage

The SGOT (Serum Glutamic-Oxaloacetic Transaminase) test, widely known today as AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase), is a blood test used to detect damage to your body's cells.

While often grouped with liver tests, AST is actually found in high concentrations in the Heart, Liver, and Muscles. Like its partner enzyme (SGPT/ALT), AST normally stays inside your cells. When those cells are injured—whether from a liver virus, a heart issue, or even an intense gym workout—the AST leaks into the bloodstream, raising your levels.


Why Do You Need This Test?

Doctors rarely order SGOT/AST alone. It is usually compared against other enzymes to act as a "diagnostic compass."

  • Liver Disease Screening: To check for Hepatitis, Cirrhosis, or drug toxicity.
  • Alcohol Abuse Monitoring: AST is particularly sensitive to alcohol-related damage. If your AST is double your ALT, it is a strong indicator of alcoholic liver disease.
  • Muscle Damage: Unlike SGPT (which is mostly liver), High AST can indicate muscle injury, dystrophy, or trauma.
  • Heart Health: Historically used to diagnose heart attacks (though Troponin is now preferred), it is still a useful marker for cardiac tissue stress.

Frequently asked questions on " Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST/SGOT) "

Yes, it is possible. Because AST is found in skeletal muscles, intense weightlifting or cross-training can cause microscopic muscle tears (which is how muscle grows). This releases AST into the blood. If you are a heavy exerciser, tell your doctor so they don't misdiagnose it as liver damage.

Not necessarily. While Hepatitis causes very high levels (often 10x normal), mild elevations are often caused by "Fatty Liver" or medication. Further testing (like an Ultrasound or Hepatitis Viral markers) is needed to confirm the cause.
