SGOT/AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase) Test in Pimpri Chinchwad Pune

What Does This Test Include?

This is a single-parameter test that checks the AST (SGOT) enzyme levels in your blood. It’s often part of a larger liver function test panel, but can also be done individually.

What is the SGOT/AST Test?

The SGOT/AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase) test is a simple blood test that helps evaluate the health of your liver, muscles, and heart. AST is an enzyme found in these organs, and when there’s any damage, the enzyme leaks into your bloodstream. By measuring AST levels, doctors can identify potential organ damage early.

If you're searching for a SGOT test near me, this is the test you're looking for.
