The liver plays an important role in metabolism, digestion, detoxification, and elimination of substances from the body. To monitor the health of your liver, your doctor may recommend you to Liver function tests. LFT test is a blood test that measure different substances produced by your liver. These measurements give a clear snapshot of information regarding how well your liver is working. A liver panel will often measure several substances in one blood sample. It may include various enzymes, proteins and byproducts.
Typically, the test includes the following components: Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Total bilirubin, Albumin, and Prothrombin time (PT).
Elevated levels of ALT, AST, ALP, or bilirubin may indicate liver disease or damage, but they do not necessarily indicate the severity of the disease. Other factors, such as the patient's medical history and other test results, need to be taken into consideration. For example, elevated levels of AST may be a sign of muscle injury rather than liver disease in some cases.
To know the lft test price, you can contact a pathology centre near you.
