Test for Liver Diseases

Liver Function Tests (LFT)
Liver Function Testing at Sakkthi Clinical Laboratory & Andrology Centre

At Sakkthi Clinical Laboratory & Andrology Centre, we provide Liver Function Tests (LFT) to help evaluate the health and performance of the liver through a simple blood test. These tests assist clinicians in assessing liver function and identifying possible abnormalities affecting liver health.

What is the Liver and Why is it Important?
The liver is one of the largest and most vital organs in the body. It performs many essential functions, including:

  • Processing nutrients from food

  • Producing important proteins and enzymes

  • Detoxifying harmful substances from the blood

  • Producing bile to support digestion

Laboratory testing helps determine whether the liver is functioning properly and supports early detection of liver-related conditions.

When Should Liver Function Testing Be Considered?
Liver function tests may be recommended if someone experiences:

  • Persistent fatigue or weakness

  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice)

  • Abdominal discomfort or swelling

  • Unexplained nausea or loss of appetite

  • Dark-colored urine or pale stools

These tests may also be performed as part of routine health check-ups or monitoring of existing liver conditions.

Common Liver Function Tests

Liver function testing includes a group of blood tests that measure specific enzymes and proteins produced by the liver.

  • ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase): An enzyme that may increase when liver cells are damaged.

  • AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase): Helps evaluate liver health and detect possible liver injury.

  • Bilirubin: Measures how effectively the liver processes waste products from red blood cells.

  • Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP): Helps assess bile duct function and certain liver conditions.

  • Total Protein and Albumin: Evaluate the liver’s ability to produce essential proteins.

How is the Test Performed?

Liver function tests are performed using a small blood sample collected from a vein, which is then analyzed in the laboratory.

Do You Need Any Preparation?

In some cases, fasting for a few hours may be recommended before the test depending on the specific liver panel being performed. Your healthcare provider will advise if preparation is required.

Why Liver Function Testing is Important

Liver function tests help clinicians:

  • Evaluate overall liver health

  • Detect liver inflammation or injury

  • Monitor existing liver conditions

  • Assess metabolic and digestive functions of the liver
