LFT(Liver Function Test)

An LFT (Liver Function Test) comprises a group of blood tests measuring the level of various liver enzymes and proteins. It helps assess the liver’s overall health, diagnose and monitor potential liver disease or damage, track the treatment response for known liver problems, and determine if dosage adjustments are needed for medicines that may affect the liver. LFT is often done as part of routine preventive checkups.

Doctors may advise an LFT when symptoms include chronic fatigue, belly pain, dark-colored urine, and yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes. Furthermore, risk factors such as excessive alcohol consumption, obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of liver disease may also warrant an LFT. Getting your LFT done regularly is recommended, regardless of the symptoms, as most individuals with liver disease do not show any symptoms in the early stages.  

No special preparation is required for this test. Please inform your doctor about all your medications or supplements, as they may require dosage adjustments or temporary discontinuation before the test. Lab test results may vary across laboratories due to differences in methodologies and reference ranges. Interpretation of the test results requires professional expertise. Do not self-medicate based on these test results, and consult your doctor to understand them correctly.
