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

As we have already said, LFT is used to check the levels of enzymes and proteins in your blood. The levels shouldn't be high or low since they implicate different health concerns. There are various parameters included in this test. We shall look at them one by one here below:

• Transaminases: Also referred to as ALT, or alanine and AST or Aspartate, they are enzymes that are present in your liver in huge quantity. ALT is primarily in your liver, while AST is present in your heart, liver, skeletal muscle and kidney.
• Albumin: This protein is synthesized in your liver. It is known for performing multiple functions like nourishing hormones, medications, tissues and other substances.
• Gamma-Glutamyl Transpeptidase: Just like ALT, it is available in plenty in your liver. A person who is alcoholic will generally have high GGT levels.
• Bilirubin: It is a waste product produced by the liver. The waste is produced after the breakdown of RBCs.

All these parameters will be checked under the LFT. Once the pattern and degree of these tests, along with the overall clinical picture, are seen, an analysis can be brought upon regarding the underlying causes of these issues.

This test is generally used for the following reasons:

• To screen for liver infections like hepatitis.
• To look for signs of a serious disease like cirrhosis.
• To evaluate and monitor a disease like viral or alcoholic hepatitis. You can also know how your liver is working through this test.
• To know about the side effects of medicines.

The symptoms may include any of the following:

• Abdominal pain
• Weight loss
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Abnormal bleeding
• Vomiting
• Dark-coloured urine
• Light-coloured stools
• Lack of energy or fatigue
• Jaundice
• Fluid retention

Once the diagnosis is done with the help of LFT, the treatment for liver disease will be initiated.

The Liver Function Test involves drawing blood from a vein in your arm. You don’t need to fast or make any changes to your routine. If you’re taking medication, consult your doctor.
