What we test

Liver Function Test (LFT)

Liver Function Tests (LFT) are a group of blood tests that assess the liver’s health and functionality.

Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) and Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST): Enzymes released when the liver is damaged or inflamed. Elevated levels may indicate liver disease or injury.

Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP): An enzyme that can indicate liver or bone disorders when elevated.

Total Bilirubin: A waste product produced by the liver. Elevated levels may indicate liver damage or disease, or problems with bile flow.

Albumin: A protein made by the liver. Low levels may indicate liver damage or disease, malnutrition, or kidney disease.

Total Protein: Measures the total amount of protein in the blood. Changes in total protein levels can indicate liver or kidney disease, or malnutrition.

Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT): An enzyme that can indicate liver or bile duct damage when elevated.

Liver function tests help diagnose and monitor liver diseases such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, and fatty liver disease. Regular testing can detect liver problems early, allowing for prompt treatment and management to prevent complications.
