Definition of Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT)
Serum glutamic oxaloacetic
transaminase (SGOT) definition - medical term
An enzyme that is normally
present in liver and heart cells. SGOT is released into
blood when the liver or heart is damaged. The blood SGOT
levels are thus elevated with liver damage (for example,
from viral hepatitis) or with an insult to the heart (for
example, from a heart attack). Some medications can also
raise SGOT levels. SGOT is also called aspartate
aminotransferase (AST).
