PharmEasy Labs combines advanced technology with experienced experts to generate fast and accurate results. Your sample is analysed in the lab, reviewed by pathologists, and then sent to your email using a fully automated system.

Liver function tests serve several important purposes:

• They are primarily used to identify liver diseases, including conditions like hepatitis.
• These tests help healthcare providers assess the effectiveness of treatment for liver diseases, allowing them to gauge how well the treatment is working.
• Liver function tests are instrumental in determining the extent of liver damage or scarring due to diseases like cirrhosis.
• Different values and ratios of substances in these tests can provide insights into various aspects, such as whether you have liver inflammation (hepatitis), and if so, whether it is alcohol-related or nonalcoholic (metabolic).
• These tests can help pinpoint whether the problem lies within the liver itself or in the bile ducts.
• They also help determine the degree of impairment in liver function or bile flow, if present.
• Function tests are valuable in monitoring the impact of medications on the liver, including the extent to which they affect liver function.
• It's crucial to note that atypical results in any of these liver tests typically necessitate further investigation to identify the underlying cause of these unusual findings.
