What are liver enzymes called on a blood test?

Question

I got my blood test results, and there's a section about 'liver enzymes'. What are the specific names of these liver enzymes that appear on a blood test report?

Suresh Gawde · Accepted Answer

On the LFT report, they are written as SGOT and SGPT, haan na. Sometimes they also write them as AST and ALT. Don't worry if they are slightly up and down, just show it to your doctor once and they will guide you.

On my dad's blood report, they were labeled as ALT and AST. I think they also call them SGPT and SGOT sometimes. It is basically part of the Liver Function Test (LFT) package that doctors prescribe.

I have been monitoring my liver health for years, so I know these well. Look for ALT (SGPT), AST (SGOT), and ALP on your report. If you see high numbers, cut down on alcohol and oily foods immediately, and get a doctor's opinion.

They are called ALT and AST, which frankly sounds like keyboard shortcuts to me. My tired eyes had to look them up late last night after getting my routine checkup reports. Just get a doc to explain them so you don't lose sleep like I did.

You will find them listed as SGPT, SGOT, and ALP on your report sheet! 📑 They are just markers that show how happy and healthy your liver is. Keep calm and let your doctor read the final numbers!

I once ignored slightly high SGPT and SGOT levels on my test report, thinking it was just gas. It turned out to be fatty liver which took months to correct. Please take those abbreviations seriously and consult a doctor immediately.
