What does the medical abbreviation SGOT mean?
Serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminaseSerum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminaseSerum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase
What is meant by sgpt and sgot?
SGOT= Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase. SGPT= Serum Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase.
What is Aspartate aminotransferase also known as?
It is also known as serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase
What does the medical abbreviation SGPT mean?
Serum Glutamic-pyruvic Transaminase
What is an ALT biochemistry test?
Aminotransferase: An enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of an amino group from a donor molecule to a recipient molecule. The donor molecule is usually an amino acid while the recipient (acceptor) molecule is usually an alpha-2 keto acid. An aminotransferase is also called a transaminase. Two of the better known enzymes in this class are serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) and serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT). Both of these transaminases (SGOT and SGPT) are normally found primarily in cells in the liver and heart, are released into the bloodstream as the result of liver or heart damage, and so are used as liver and heart tests.

Why would you not translate such abbreviations as vdrl sgot tpa and dpt shot?
Who said they wouldn't? VDRL: Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (test) SGOT: Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (an enzyme) tPA: Tissue Plasminogen Activator DPT: Diptheria, Pertussis, and Tetanus
What is SGPT test?
An SGPT test is a test which determines if the liver is damaged or diseased. It measure the levels of glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) in blood.
What can cause high ASt?
AST (aspartate transaminase) is another name for SGOT (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase). It is a liver enzyme. While it could be elevated in cases of liver inflammation, it could also be elevated in cases of heart attack, severe burns, kidney disease, pancreatitis, certain musculoskeletal diseases, hemolytic anemia, or trauma. The reference ranges for AST are 8 - 40 IU/L in males and 6 - 34 IU/L in females.
SGPT of liver?
A serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase or SGPT of the liver tests for function of that organ. It checks for possible damage from injury or lifestyle choices such as drug or alcohol use.
Why could your ALT serum enzyme be 790.4?
ALT stands for alanine transaminase and is also known as serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase. It is an enzyme found in blood plasma and different body tissues. An elevated level of 790.4 could be a sign of medical problems such as viral hepatitis, general liver damage, diabetes, heart failure, or even mononucleosis.
What is low ALT SGPT?
ALT and SGPT are the same thing - a type of enzyme made predominantly in the liver. ALT stands for Alanine aminotransferase that is also known as serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT). Source: http://medsipo.com/details/alt-sgpt
What is the effect of sgpt?
increased serum transaminase activity is seen in liver dysfunction. greater activity of GOT over GPT is typical of myocardial infarction.
