    Fasting is usually not needed: You do not need to stop eating for an SGPT test alone. But you may need to fast if your doctor ordered a group of other tests. Confirm with your doctor or lab
  2. 2
    List your medicines: Tell your doctor about all medicines, vitamins, and supplements you take. Some pills can change your test results.
