Chughtai Lab SGPT Test Price and Details
What is an SGPT (ALT) test?
SGPT (ALT) alanine transaminase test measures the amount of ALT in your blood. These levels increase in your blood when your liver is damaged, so healthcare providers use an ALT blood test to help evaluate the health of your liver.
Since many types can contribute to high ALT levels, this test cannot be used alone to diagnose conditions. An SGPT test is often included in a blood test panel, such as a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) or a liver enzyme panel (HFP or LFT). A blood panel test measures several aspects of your blood and can provide detailed information about your overall health using only one sample.
Common names for an SGPT lab test include:
- Alanine aminotransferase
- Alanine transaminase (ALT)
- Serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase
- SGPT
- GPT

A healthcare professional takes a blood sample using a small needle from a vein in your arm. The needle collects a small amount of blood into the vial or test tube. You may feel a little sting with the needle. However, the process usually takes less than five minutes.
What is the normal range for serum ALT (SGPT)?
The normal range for alanine transaminase (ALT) can vary from laboratory to laboratory. However, one common range for an ALT blood test is 7 to 56 U/L (units per liter). However, the levels are typically higher in males.
How to Lower ALT (SGPT) Levels?
