 [ Symptoms ] how to read blood work got some high number is what is sgotast ldl mean thanks [ Disease ] well i want to start by saying that you should go over your lab results with your health care provider lab results do not exist in a vacuum what is abnormal for one person may be normal for another depending on their medical histories and many other factors in general sgotast is an indicator of liver health however elevated levels do not necessarily mean you have liver disease many things can cause elevated sgotast which is why you need to consult your health care provider to learn what these results mean for you personally ldl stands for  low density lipoprotein  which is the bad cholesterol in the total cholesterol equation we generally like to see ldl values below 130 if your number is higher than that your doctor will evaluate this result in relation to your total cholesterol numbers heart health and also that sgotast elevation hope this helps
