Serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT), now called Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), is a liver enzyme that is vital for energy production. It is present in different tissues such as the liver, skeletal muscles and heart, but is found with the highest concentration in the liver. When the liver is damaged, SGPT leaks out of the cells and into your blood. Normal SGPT level ranges from 7 to 56 units per litre of blood. High levels of SGPT in the blood may indicate liver problems and damage, but they may also be elevated due to strenuous activity. If you’re concerned about ''consistently'' high SGPT levels, the right diet and lifestyle modifications – and medical treatment, if desired – can bring your numbers down to normal. Start with Step 1 below to lower your SGPT. | Serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT), now called Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), is a liver enzyme that is vital for energy production.
