The Liver Function Test (LFT) is a blood test that assesses the health of your liver by measuring enzymes, proteins, and bilirubin levels. It helps diagnose liver-related diseases and monitors liver function.
Why is LFT important? LFTs are crucial for detecting liver damage or disease, such as hepatitis or cirrhosis. They provide valuable information about liver health and function.
What does the test involve? A blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm, and the levels of various substances in the blood are measured.
Preparation: You may be advised to fast for a certain period before the test. Always follow your doctor's instructions.
