As part of the basic assessment of liver function and efficiency, blood tests (alanine aminotransferase-ALT, aspartate aminotransferase-AST, alkaline phosphatase-ALP, gamma-glutamyl transferase-GGT, bilirubin, urea, ammonia) can be used, informing about possible liver cell damage or bile stasis, and...

A liver function test is done by drawing blood from your arm and analyzing it. An LFT checks the presence and levels of certain enzymes and proteins in your blood. The SGOT Test The SGOT (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transminase) test, also known as an AST test, measures the amount of a ...
GGT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transpeptidase) is also elevated in liver disease, particularly with obstruction of bile ducts. Unlike the alkaline phosphatase it is not elevated with bone growth or damage. AST/SGOT, ALT/ SGPT . . . AST (Serum Glutamic-Oxalocetic Transaminase - SGOT ), ALT (Serum Glu...

Liver function tests, including serum albumin, bilirubin, and coagulation times, are generally within normal ranges [4]. In most cases, PSVD is suspected due to persistent but moderately elevated levels of aminotransferases (AST, ALT), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), and/or alkaline phosphatase ...
