What is a Liver Function Test?
Published
A liver function test (LFT) is a series of blood tests designed to evaluate the health and functionality of the liver. It typically measures levels of enzymes, proteins, and other substances produced or processed by the liver. These include alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bilirubin, and albumin, among others.
The LFT test price is nominal. It involves a professional drawing a blood sample from a vein in the arm. No special preparations are required for this test, though one’s doctor may instruct them if any specific preparations are needed.
