About Liver Function Test

A Liver Function Test (LFT) is a crucial panel of blood tests ordered by a gastroenterologist to assess the health and performance of your liver. It measures the levels of specific enzymes, proteins, and substances in your blood, such as ALT, AST, ALP, bilirubin, and albumin. These markers provide vital clues about liver inflammation, damage, obstruction, or functional impairment. This non-invasive test is a fundamental diagnostic tool for detecting conditions like hepatitis, fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, and monitoring the effects of medications. It helps your specialist evaluate liver function, guide treatment decisions, and track the progress of liver-related disorders.
