Function of SGPT Enzyme in Human Body

The enzyme SGPT is normally found inside your liver cells. However, SGPT can be released into your bloodstream when your liver is damaged or inflamed. This causes serum ALT levels to rise. An increase in SGPT is the first sign that there is a problem. SGPT is often found at an elevated level before other symptoms start to appear.

Measuring the level of SGPT in your blood can help your doctor understand how your liver is functioning. It also helps in determining the underlying cause of a liver problem. The SGPT blood test or the ALT test is often considered as an integral part of an initial screening for liver disease.

Why is an SGPT Test Done

The SGPT test is normally used to determine if someone has liver injury or liver failure. Your doctor may order an SGPT blood test if you have symptoms of liver disease. The symptoms may include the following:

• Jaundice or the yellowing of your skin and your eyes
• dark urine
• nausea
• vomiting
• pain in your abdomen, especially in the upper right quadrant

An increase in SGPT levels is caused by liver damage in general. The SGPT test can evaluate the levels of SGPT in your bloodstream. This test, however, can’t show how much liver damage there is or how much fibrosis, or scarring, is present.

An SGPT test is generally advised as a part of a routine health checkup. Your doctor can order an ALT or an SGPT blood test if someone has risk factors for liver disease, including:

• family history
• heavy alcohol use
• exposure to hepatitis
• taking certain medications
• diabetes

Your doctor may also order a SGPT test due to some other reasons including:

• monitoring the progression of liver diseases. This can include hepatitis or liver failure
• assessing if a proper planned treatment for a liver disorder should be started
• evaluating how well treatment is working
