A Liver Function Test (LFT) is a blood test that helps assess the health and performance of the liver. It measures various enzymes, proteins, and substances in the blood to detect liver damage, infections, or diseases.

Key parameters in LFT include:

Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) & Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST): Indicate liver cell damage.
Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP): High levels may suggest bile duct obstruction or bone disease.
Bilirubin: Measures liver’s ability to process waste; high levels may indicate jaundice.
Albumin & Total Protein: Assess liver’s ability to synthesize essential proteins.

Doctors recommend LFT for symptoms like jaundice, fatigue, nausea, or suspected liver disease. It helps diagnose conditions like hepatitis, fatty liver, cirrhosis, and liver infections. A timely LFT can aid in early diagnosis and management of liver-related issues.
