Elevated levels of serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase in indicative of______________?
Correct answer: D. Liver disease
- A. Deficiency of glutamic acid
- B. Deficiency of oxaloacetic acid
- C. All of the above
- D. Liver disease
Explanation
SGOT, now called AST, rises in liver injury, although it is not liver-specific and can also increase in cardiac or skeletal muscle damage. The deficiency options do not explain an elevated serum transaminase level.
