Is AST SGOT 400 high, normal or dangerous? What does Aspartate aminotransferase level 400 mean?
📅 Medical Review Date: April 27, 2026
Your AST SGOT level of 400 is a High AST SGOT level.
An AST SGOT level of 400 U/L usually means liver cells are damaged or injured. It suggests liver stress. High levels of AST SGOT can cause fatigue, weakness, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, dark urine, and yellowing of skin. This can be caused by viral hepatitis, alcohol abuse, fatty liver disease, muscle injury, or heart attack. Further tests are often needed to identify the cause and guide appropriate treatment.
High AST SGOT levels may indicate underlying health problems. The normal range is typically between 15 U/L and 37 U/L. If your levels are outside this range, it's important to speak with a healthcare provider. Consulting a doctor is recommended to determine the cause and appropriate next steps.
