Overview
ASTSGOT Liver Test is a blood test that measures the levels of an enzyme called aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in the liver. The test is performed by drawing a blood sample from a vein in the arm. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis, and the results are typically available within a few days. Elevated levels of AST may indicate liver damage or disease.
