Definition of Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT)
Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase
(SGPT) definition - medical term
An enzyme that is normally present in liver
and heart cells. SGPT is released into blood when the liver
or heart is damaged. The blood SGPT 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 SGPT
levels. Also called alanine aminotransferase (ALT).
