KFT 2 Parameters
KFT 2 Parameters" generally refers to a liver function test (LFT) that includes two key parameters used to assess liver health. In many medical settings, this abbreviated version of the liver function test focuses on:
-
SGPT (ALT – Alanine Aminotransferase)
-
SGOT (AST – Aspartate Aminotransferase)
Explanation of the Two Parameters:
-
SGPT / ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase):
-
This enzyme is primarily found in the liver.
-
High levels can indicate liver damage or inflammation, such as in hepatitis, fatty liver, or drug-induced liver injury.
-
-
SGOT / AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase):
-
Found in the liver, heart, muscles, kidneys, and brain.
-
Elevated levels may point to liver issues, but because it's found in other tissues, it can also indicate heart or muscle problems.
1. SGPT (ALT – Alanine Aminotransferase)
-
Normal Range:
-
Men: 10–40 U/L
-
Women: 7–35 U/L (Note: Exact ranges can vary slightly by lab.)
-
-
High SGPT (ALT) – Common Causes:
-
Hepatitis (A, B, C)
-
Fatty liver disease (NAFLD or AFLD)
-
Liver cirrhosis
-
Alcohol abuse
-
Medications (e.g., statins, paracetamol in high doses)
-
Obesity or diabetes-related liver stress
-
-
Low SGPT:
-
Not usually a concern; can be seen in vitamin B6 deficiency.
-
2. SGOT (AST – Aspartate Aminotransferase)
-
Normal Range:
-
Men: 10–40 U/L
-
Women: 9–32 U/L
-
-
High SGOT (AST) – Common Causes:
-
Liver diseases (similar to SGPT)
-
Heart attack
-
Muscle injury (including strenuous exercise)
-
Pancreatitis
-
Hemolysis (breakdown of red blood cells)
-
-
Low SGOT:
-
Rarely significant; may occur with malnutrition or kidney failure.
-
Interpretation Tips:
-
ALT is more specific to the liver than AST.
-
If AST is much higher than ALT, and the ratio (AST/ALT) is >2, it may suggest alcohol-related liver damage.
-
Mild elevations (1–2x upper limit) can happen with minor issues like fatty liver.
-
Very high levels (10x or more) may indicate acute hepatitis or drug toxicity.

About The Treatment
A Health Check-Up is a preventive medical examination designed to assess your overall health status and detect early signs of diseases or risk factors. These check-ups typically include a series of physical examinations, laboratory tests, and diagnostic screenings tailored to age, gender, medical history, and lifestyle.
Routine health check-ups are essential for early detection of conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and cancer. They help doctors monitor critical indicators like blood pressure, cholesterol levels, organ function, and more. Depending on the package or provider, a health check-up can range from basic blood tests to advanced imaging like CT scans or full-body MRIs.
