SGPT increased AE
a lab test abnormal AE that has an outcome of SGPT increased
According to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), 'SGPT increased' is an adverse event that was mentioned in 459 VAERS reports (0.4%) during1991-2001 (Reference: PMID: 12825543).
SGPT represents serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase, an enzyme that is normally present in liver and heart cells. SGPT is released into blood when the liver or heart are damaged. The blood SGPT levels are thus elevated with liver damage (for example, from viral hepatitis) or with an insult to the heart (for example, from a heart attack). Some medications can also raise SGPT levels. SGPT is also called alanine aminotransferase (ALT).
