LFT - Liver Function Test

A Liver Function Test (LFT) is a blood test that helps evaluate the health of your liver by measuring levels of proteins, liver enzymes, and bilirubin in your blood. These tests are used to detect liver damage or disease, such as hepatitis, fatty liver, or cirrhosis. Key components measured include:

1. ALT (Alanine Transaminase) – Indicates liver cell damage.
2. AST (Aspartate Transaminase) – Also suggests liver damage but is less specific than ALT.
3. ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase) – Measures bile duct issues or liver/bone problems.
4. Bilirubin – Elevated levels may indicate liver dysfunction.
5. Albumin – A protein produced by the liver; low levels suggest liver disease.
6. Total Protein – Measures overall protein production by the liver.

Doctors often order LFTs to monitor conditions like liver disease, alcohol abuse, or the effects of medications on the liver.
