A Liver Function Test (LFT) is a group of blood tests that helps assess how well your liver is working. This test measures different enzymes, proteins, and bilirubin levels in the blood. Together, these parameters give a complete picture of liver health, damage, or disease.

Doctors may recommend a LFT if you have symptoms like fatigue, yellowing of eyes/skin (jaundice), abdominal pain, nausea, or if there is a need to monitor liver conditions, alcohol use, or medication effects.

At Torrent Diagnostics, the liver function test is performed using accurate, standardized methods to ensure reliable results.

Why is the Liver Function Test Done?

According to the Indian Council of Medical Research guidelines, this test helps to:
Detect liver diseases (like hepatitis & fatty liver)
Diagnose jaundice and bile duct problems
Monitor liver damage due to alcohol or medications
Evaluate overall liver function
Track ongoing treatment

Who Should Get Tested?

You may need this test if you:

Experience fatigue, weakness, or loss of appetite
Notice yellowing of skin or eyes
Have abdominal discomfort or swelling
Have dark urine or pale stools

High-risk groups:

People who consume alcohol regularly
Individuals with obesity or diabetes
Patients on long-term medications
People with viral hepatitis or liver disease history
Individuals with unhealthy lifestyle habits

How to Read the Results?

Doctors interpret your reports based on all parameters together and not individually, for accurate diagnosis. However, here’s a quick look at what the levels could mean.

Tests Results	What it Means
High levels of ALT and AST	Liver injury or inflammation
High levels of ALP and GGT	Bile duct or liver issues
High bilirubin levels	Jaundice or impaired liver function
Low albumin / abnormal A:G ratio	Chronic liver disease or nutritional deficiency

What to Ask the Doctor?

Questions you can ask your doctor during the evaluation are:

Are my liver test results normal?
Do I have any liver condition?
What could be the cause of abnormal results?
Do I need further tests (like ultrasound)?
Should I change my diet or lifestyle?
When should I repeat the test?

FAQs To Help You Know Better

Do I need to fast before the test?

Fasting is usually recommended for a few hours before the test to ensure accurate results, but you should follow your doctor’s instructions.

Can LFT detect fatty liver?

LFT can suggest liver abnormalities, but fatty liver is usually confirmed with imaging tests like ultrasound.

Is the test painful?

No, it is a simple blood test with minimal discomfort.

Can alcohol affect LFT results?

Yes, alcohol consumption can significantly affect liver enzymes, especially GGT and AST levels.

How often should I get tested?

The frequency depends on your health condition, risk factors, and doctor’s advice.

If my reports are not normal, will I need to get more tests done?

Depending on results, doctors may recommend ultrasound, viral hepatitis tests, or other investigations.
