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

There are some people who are at risk of developing liver conditions. These risk factors include obesity, eating unhealthy food, consumption of excessive alcohol, and autoimmune conditions. The liver function test includes the following tests:

• Total protein
• Albumin
• Globulin
• Albumin to globulin ratio
• Liver enzyme test: The liver enzyme test checks the levels of enzymes like Alkaline Phosphatase or ALP, Alanine Transaminase or ALT, Aspartate Aminotransferase or AST, and Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase or GGT.
• Total bilirubin test: Bilirubin is a waste product that is made by the liver. The total bilirubin test measures these levels.
• Direct and indirect bilirubin
• SGOT and SGPT test
• SGPT to SGOT ratio
• Lactate dehydrogenase test: The LDH enzyme is found in the damaged cells. The test detects the presence of LDH
• Prothrombin time test: Prothrombin time is the time taken for the blood to clot. This test measures this time

PharmEasy Labs offers the LFT test along with 500 other tests. People from all parts of India can use these facilities, as more than 2500 pincodes are serviced. The test results are accurate and are analysed by fully automated and barcoded machines. Once the results are ready, they are verified by expert medical practitioners and then sent to the registered email address. You can use the home sample collection and get the tests done from the comfort of your home.

If there are any symptoms of a liver disorder, the doctor will prescribe the liver function test. The symptoms include:

• Unexplained weight loss
• Weakness
• Jaundice
• Abdominal swelling
• Nausea
• Dark coloured urine
• Light coloured poop

The LFT becomes important if there are other diseases like:

• Cirrhosis
• Jaundice
• Fatty liver
• Hepatitis
• Chronic alcoholic liver disease

If you have an existing liver dysfunction, you will have to get the LFT done as it is indicative of the effectiveness of the treatment as well as of the progression of the disease.

Fasting before the LFT is important, as food tends to change the levels of enzymes and proteins. Fasting for 10 to 12 hours is ideal, and you should only drink water during the fast period. However, it is important to follow your doctor’s instructions.

During the Liver Function Test

If you book the liver function test with PharmEasy Labs, the phlebotomist will arrive at your home to collect the blood sample. As this is a blood test, they use new and disposable kits with sterilised needles and gloves. The speciality about the phlebotomists from PharmEasy Labs is that they carry a vein finder device, a handy tool that helps to identify the best vein to draw blood from, reducing discomfort and pain.
