Very low sgot, what could be the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stop worrying: Labs set the reference ranges arbitrarily so that several percent of healthy people fall outside on either end. This is the right thing to do. Don't confuse them with "healthy ranges" or "normal ranges". A low SGOT is never a problem.
