SGOT and SGPT are Liver function tests.Liver damage is detected initially by performing a simple blood test that determines the level of various liver enzymes present in the blood. The most widely used liver enzymes that are sensitive to abnormalities in liver and are most commonly measured are the aminotransferases. They are present in lesser concentration in the muscle cells. When the liver cells get damaged or injured, these enzymes seep into the blood stream, raising their blood levels. Hence raised blood levels of SGOT and SGPT signifies liver disease or injury.
The normal levels of SGOT is in between 5 and 40 units per liter of serum and the normal levels of SGPT in between 7 and 56 units per liter of serum.

The normal ranges of SGOT and SGPT may slightly differ depending on the protocols and techniques used to measure them by different laboratories. However, each laboratory routinely provides the normal reference ranges and prints it in the report.
