SGPT (ALT): 7–56 U/L SGOT (AST): 8–40 U/L Total bilirubin: 0.3–1.2 mg/dL Albumin: 3.5–5.2 g/dL Note: reference ranges may vary by laboratory and should be interpreted by your doctor in the context of your overall health.

A raised SGOT (AST) may reflect liver-cell stress or injury and can also rise with muscle injury. A raised SGPT (ALT) is a fairly specific marker of liver-cell stress or injury, including fatty liver. A raised GGT may relate to the liver or bile ducts and can rise with alcohol use or certain medicines. These are general associations, not a diagnosis, discuss your report with your doctor.

A low SGOT is generally not clinically significant. A low SGPT is generally not clinically significant. A low GGT is not clinically significant. A result outside the reference range should always be interpreted by your doctor in context.

An 8-hour fast is preferred for the most reliable result, especially if it is combined with a lipid profile or fasting sugar. Water is allowed, and you should avoid alcohol for 24–48 hours before the test.

Raised SGPT (ALT) and SGOT (AST) indicate the liver cells are stressed or damaged — most commonly from fatty liver, hepatitis, alcohol or certain medicines. Mild elevations are common; your doctor interprets them with the rest of the panel.

An LFT can flag fatty liver when liver enzymes are raised, but enzymes can be normal in early fatty liver. An ultrasound is often added for confirmation. Weight loss, exercise and limiting alcohol and sugar help reverse it.

No fasting is required for the Liver Function Test (LFT) test. You can eat and drink normally before sample collection.
