Test Necessity
An LFT, or Liver Function Test, is essential in diagnosing and monitoring various liver conditions and disorders. Doctors often prescribe this test under different circumstances. When a patient exhibits symptoms of liver disease, such as jaundice, abdominal pain, or unexplained weight loss, doctors may order an LFT to assess the liver's health and identify the underlying condition.
For individuals with known liver conditions, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, or fatty liver disease, regular LFTs are crucial to monitor the progress of the disease and evaluate the effectiveness of treatment. In cases where patients are taking medications that can potentially harm the liver, LFTs are used to monitor the liver's response to these medications and adjust treatment if necessary.
Some doctors include LFTs as part of routine health checkups, especially for individuals with risk factors such as a history of alcohol abuse, obesity, or a family history of liver disease. This helps in the early detection of liver problems.
Overall, LFTs play a vital role in assessing liver function and detecting liver disorders, making them an essential tool in maintaining overall health.
Test Preparation
No fasting is required for the Liver Function Test. A blood sample will be collected, typically from a vein in your forearm. If you’re on medications, it’s best to discuss it with your doctor.

During your LFT with PharmEasy Labs, skilled phlebotomists will employ advanced vein finder technology to ensure precise vein location. Rest assured, this process is designed for your comfort and convenience.
