LFT (Liver Function Test)
The Liver Function Test (LFT) is a blood test that measures various enzymes, proteins, and substances produced by the liver. It helps assess liver health, detect liver disease, and monitor the effects of medications or other conditions on the liver.
Why This Test is Done:

Detect liver diseases such as hepatitis, fatty liver, or cirrhosis
-
Monitor liver damage caused by alcohol, drugs, or infections
-
Evaluate unexplained symptoms like jaundice, fatigue, or abdominal pain
-
Track liver health during ongoing treatment
How It Works:
A blood sample is analyzed for parameters such as ALT, AST, ALP, bilirubin, albumin, and total protein. Abnormal results may indicate liver inflammation, damage, or dysfunction.
