Enter the serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase and the serum glutamin pyruvic transaminase into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Sgot/Sgpt Ratio. 

Sgot/Sgpt Ratio Formula

SSR = Sgot/Sgpt

Variables:

  • SSR is the Sgot/Sgpt Ratio ()
  • Sgot is the serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase
  • Sgpt is the serum glutamin pyruvic transaminase

To calculate Sgot/Sgpt Ratio, divide the serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase by the serum glutamin pyruvic transaminase.

How to Calculate Sgot/Sgpt Ratio?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Sgot/Sgpt Ratio.


  1. First, determine the serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase. 
  2. Next, determine the serum glutamin pyruvic transaminase. 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = SSR = Sgot/Sgpt.
  4. Finally, calculate the Sgot/Sgpt Ratio.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase = 9

serum glutamin pyruvic transaminase = 14

FAQ

What does an abnormal Sgot/Sgpt Ratio indicate?

An abnormal Sgot/Sgpt Ratio can indicate liver damage or disease, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, or liver cancer. It can also indicate issues with other organs, like the heart or kidneys.

Can medications affect the Sgot/Sgpt Ratio?

Yes, certain medications can affect liver enzymes and thus alter the Sgot/Sgpt Ratio. These include over-the-counter pain relievers, antibiotics, and statins. It’s important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking.

Is fasting required before testing for Sgot/Sgpt?

Fasting is not typically required before testing for serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) or serum glutamin pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), but it’s always best to follow the specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider or the testing facility.

How often should the Sgot/Sgpt Ratio be checked?

The frequency of testing depends on the individual’s health status, underlying conditions, and risk factors for liver disease. Your healthcare provider can provide personalized advice on how often you should have your Sgot/Sgpt Ratio checked.
