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

Fatty liver is a growing burden in India, often driven by factors such as alcohol, saturated fats, sedentary lifestyle, and obesity. It may not produce noticeable symptoms and can lead to an irreversible condition called cirrhosis. Early screening and management are important to prevent permanent liver damage. Liver function tests (LFTs) support early diagnosis of fatty liver and other liver conditions by evaluating a single blood sample.

The following individuals are at high risk of liver diseases and should consider getting LFTs done:

• Individuals on long-term medication: People taking medicines that may stress the liver, such as painkillers, antibiotics, antidepressants, or statins.
• Lifestyle factors: Individuals who consume alcohol regularly.
• Chronic conditions: Those managing diabetes, high blood pressure, or obesity.
• Family history: Anyone with a family history of liver disease or hepatitis.
• People with known liver disease: LFTs may be used to monitor liver function and response to treatment over time.

The symptoms below might be suggestive of liver disease and call for an LFT:

• Persistent fatigue or unexplained weakness.
• Yellowish discoloration of the eyes or skin.
• Swelling in the legs, ankles, or abdomen.
• Dark-coloured urine.
• Pale stools.
• Loss of appetite.
• Persistent itchy skin.
• Abdominal pain in the upper right region.

The frequency of liver function tests varies from person to person depending on age, health condition, and risk status. Check out the table below to learn more:

A liver function test aids in the detection of the following liver conditions, even before the symptoms appear:

• Fatty liver disease: Detects the build-up of excess fat, which is increasingly common due to modern sedentary lifestyles.
• Hepatitis: Identifies inflammation caused by viral infections or immune system issues.
• Cirrhosis: Shows early signs of permanent scarring that can hinder liver performance.
• Biliary obstruction: Highlights potential blockages in the bile ducts, often caused by gallstones.

Before the test

• A blood sample is collected with a needle, and a bandage is applied to the site to prevent bleeding.
• The procedure is simple and quick, with minimal risk.

After the test
