About The Test
This test evaluates the overall health and function of the liver by measuring the levels of various enzymes, proteins, and substances in the blood. It typically includes tests for:
- Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)
- Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST)
- Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)
- Bilirubin (Total and Direct)
- Albumin
- Total Protein
Abnormal levels of these substances can indicate liver damage or disease, such as hepatitis, fatty liver, cirrhosis, or liver failure. LFTs are essential for diagnosing liver-related conditions, monitoring liver health, and assessing the effectiveness of treatments.
