Liver Function Test (LFT) in Amravati - Price & Details

PharmEasy Labs is India's premier diagnostic service provider, offering liver function tests nationwide, including Amravati, without the need for a visit to a diagnostic center or hospital.

PharmEasy offers an LFT Package which includes 12 tests, including:

• Albumin is a liver-produced protein.
• Total protein, measuring overall protein levels, is primarily synthesized in the liver.
• Enzymes like ALP, ALT, AST, and GGT are mainly produced in the liver and accelerate specific chemical reactions.
• Bilirubin, a waste product from old red blood cell breakdown, is primarily eliminated by the liver.
• Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is an enzyme present in various tissues, with notable amounts in the liver.
• Prothrombin time (PT) assesses blood clotting with the involvement of the liver-produced protein prothrombin.

While these tests indicate liver function and potential damage, they often don't provide a specific disease diagnosis. If abnormalities occur, additional tests are typically needed to identify the exact cause.

Your healthcare provider might suggest Liver Function Tests to:

• Screen for liver infections such as hepatitis.
• Monitor the progress of diseases like viral or alcoholic hepatitis and evaluate treatment effectiveness.
• Detects signs of severe conditions, particularly liver scarring (cirrhosis).
• Keep an eye on potential side effects of medications.

These tests analyze specific enzyme and protein levels in your blood, with variations indicating potential liver issues. The pattern and degree of elevation, coupled with the overall clinical context, can provide valuable insights into the root causes of these concerns.

The Liver Function Test is a simple blood test that doesn’t require fasting or any specific preparations. It’s advisable to inform your doctor in advance if you are taking any medications. Blood is typically drawn from a vein in your arm, and you can resume your normal activities immediately afterwards.

During the Liver Function Test (LFT)

A skilled phlebotomist hygienically draws a blood sample from a vein using a vein finder for comfort. After the test, you can resume normal activities. A healthcare professional uses a small needle to extract blood from a vein in your arm, collecting it into a test tube or vial.
