  1. LFT Test Normal Range: What is LFT Test and How to Interpret the Report

  2. What is LFT? The Liver Function Test (LFT) is a group of blood tests that help assess the health and performance of the liver. It measures various enzymes, proteins, and substances produced or processed by the liver to detect inflammation, damage, infection, or disease. The key components evaluated in an LFT include: • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and Aspartate aminotransferase (AST): enzymes that rise with liver damage. • Alkaline phosphatase (ALP): elevated in bile duct or liver disorders. • Bilirubin: high levels may indicate liver dysfunction or bile flow problems. • Albumin and total protein: reflect the liver’s ability to produce essential proteins. • Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT): often increased in liver disease or alcohol-related damage. • Prothrombin time (PT): assesses liver’s role in blood clotting.

  3. Why is Liver Function Testing Important? Liver function tests help detect abnormalities in the liver before symptoms become severe. These tests are useful not only for diagnosing liver diseases but also for monitoring ongoing conditions and assessing how well treatments are working.Some key reasons why an LFT may be recommended include: • Detecting liver infections such as hepatitis. • Monitoring damage from alcohol, drugs, or fatty liver disease. •  Evaluating the impact of medications that may affect liver function. •  Assessing liver performance in chronic conditions such as cirrhosis or autoimmune liver diseases. •   Routine health check-ups, especially for individuals with risk factors such as obesity, diabetes, or a family history of liver disorders. Regular liver function testing can aid in early diagnosis, guide treatment decisions, and prevent complications by catching problems at an early stage.

  4. Common Symptoms that May Require an LFT Liver problems often develop silently, but certain symptoms may signal the need for a liver function test. Identifying these early signs can help in timely diagnosis and management. Some common symptoms that may indicate liver dysfunction include: • Persistent fatigue or weakness • Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice) • Abdominal pain or swelling, especially in the upper right side • Dark-coloured urine and pale stools • Nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite • Itchy skin or unexplained weight loss In females, symptoms such as hormonal imbalances, irregular periods, or skin changes may also be linked to liver issues, making an LFT a valuable diagnostic tool.
