This document outlines the procedure for performing an SGOT test to determine aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels in a blood sample. It describes that the SGOT test measures the oxidation of NADH to NAD, which is proportional to the AST activity in the sample. Instructions are provided for setting up the test with reagents, standard, test tubes, blood sample, and taking absorbance readings at intervals to calculate the AST activity level. Normal AST value ranges are listed for males and females, and increased levels are associated with hepatobiliary disease.
