What is LIVER FUNCTION TEST (LFT)?

A Liver Function Test (LFT) is a common blood test that measures various enzymes, proteins, and other substances made by the liver. It provides a comprehensive overview of your liver's health and how well it is functioning.

Why is this test important?

LFTs are crucial for detecting liver damage or disease, monitoring the progression of conditions like hepatitis or cirrhosis, and assessing the impact of medications on the liver. Abnormal results can indicate inflammation, injury, or impaired liver function.

How to Prepare

Fasting for 8-12 hours before the test may be required. Please confirm with your doctor or the lab.
