No, fasting is not required for the SGOT (AST) test. However, your doctor may provide additional instructions depending on other tests being performed along with it.

The normal SGOT (AST) range may vary slightly by laboratory, but generally falls between 5 to 40 U/L in adults. Your doctor will interpret the results based on your health condition and medical history.

High SGOT (AST) levels may occur due to liver diseases, fatty liver, hepatitis, alcohol consumption, muscle injury, certain medications, or intense physical activity.

No, the SGOT (AST) test alone cannot confirm liver disease. It is usually interpreted along with other tests such as SGPT (ALT), bilirubin, and LFT to get a complete picture of liver health.
