What is the normal range of SGOT & SGPT?

The SGPT test normal range (Serum Glutamic-Pyruvic Transaminase) is typically 7 to 56 units per liter (U/L) of blood, while the SGOT test normal range (Serum Glutamic-Oxaloacetic Transaminase) is 5 to 40 U/L. These tests are essential for evaluating liver function and diagnosing conditions like hepatitis, fatty liver, or liver damage. Elevated levels of SGPT and SGOT may indicate liver inflammation, muscle injury, or other systemic conditions. SGPT, also known as Alanine Aminotransferase, is more specific to liver health, whereas SGOT can also indicate issues related to heart or muscle health.
