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).

high SGPT is mostly found in liver dis.and fatty liver.
Gluose (f) 112 uric acid 6.5 sgot (ast) 50 sgpt (alt)
SGPT is primarily found in the liver. Low levels of SGPT may indicate deficiency of vitamin B6. Hepatitis can cause high levels.
Low levels of SGPT and SGOT may indicate deficiency of vitamin B6.
alcohol abuse, fatty liver disease
An elevated SGPT or ALT level is a measure of liver function. It might suggest muscle problems, heart problems, or excess alcohol intake.
Liver enzymes in blood tests are ALT/SGPT (alanine aminotransferase) and AST/SGOT (aspartate aminotransferase).
Elevated levels of SGPT (ALT) and SGOT (AST) in the blood can be a sign of liver damage or injury, which may be caused by conditions such as hepatitis, fatty liver disease, or alcohol abuse. It is important to identify the underlying cause of the increase through further testing and evaluation by a healthcare provider.
AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) are sensitive indicators of liver damage or injury from different types of disease. These monitor for hepatic function.
Elevated levels of SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT) in the blood can indicate liver damage or injury, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, or fatty liver disease. Other causes include alcohol consumption, certain medications, or muscle injury. Further testing is needed to determine the underlying cause.
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is an enzyme found mainly in the liver, but also in smaller amounts in the kidneys, heart, muscles, and pancreas. ALT formerly was called serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT). ALT is measured to determine whether the liver is damaged or diseased. Low levels of ALT are normally found in the blood. However, when the liver is damaged or diseased, it releases ALT into the bloodstream, causing levels of the enzyme to rise. Although ALT is found in organs other than the liver, most increases in ALT levels are due to liver damage. The ALT Blood Test often is done along with other tests that can determine whether the liver is damaged, including aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and bilirubin. Both ALT and AST levels are reliable indicators of liver damage.
