LFT (Liver Function Test) in Kirti Nagar
Accurate Blood Testing to Diagnose Fatty Liver, Jaundice, Hepatitis, and Evaluate Overall Liver Health.
What is a Liver Function Test (LFT)?
A Liver Function Test (LFT), also known as a Hepatic Panel, is a crucial blood test used to evaluate the overall health and functioning of your liver. Your liver is responsible for filtering toxins from your blood, aiding in digestion, and producing essential proteins. A complete LFT accurately measures the levels of specific enzymes (like SGPT, SGOT, and ALP), vital proteins (like Albumin), and Bilirubin in your bloodstream. Elevated levels of these markers can indicate early signs of liver stress, fatty liver disease, jaundice, hepatitis, or liver damage caused by poor lifestyle, alcohol consumption, or certain medications. At our advanced pathology lab in Kirti Nagar, we utilize fully automated analyzers to deliver highly precise and error-free LFT reports. This empowers your doctor to detect liver issues early and recommend the right dietary changes or medical treatments to protect this vital organ.
LFT (Hepatic Panel): What We Measure
A complete Liver Function Test analyzes specific enzymes, proteins, and waste products in your blood to accurately assess your liver’s health:
SGPT (ALT) Levels
An enzyme found primarily in the liver. High SGPT levels strongly indicate liver cell damage, often caused by fatty liver disease, alcohol, or viral hepatitis.
SGOT (AST) Levels
Another vital enzyme found in the liver and muscles. Elevated SGOT levels help doctors detect liver inflammation, injury, or severe toxic stress on the organ.
Serum Bilirubin
A yellow pigment produced during the breakdown of red blood cells. High bilirubin levels cause Jaundice, leading to the yellowing of the skin and eyes.
ALP & Albumin
ALP measures the health of your bile ducts, while Albumin (a protein made by the liver) shows how well your liver is performing its daily synthetic functions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to fast before a Liver Function Test (LFT)?
While a standalone LFT may not always strictly require fasting, doctors highly recommend an overnight fast of 8 to 10 hours for the most accurate baseline results. Eating a heavy or fatty meal right before the test can sometimes interfere with liver enzyme readings. Additionally, if your LFT is prescribed alongside fasting tests like a Lipid Profile or Fasting Blood Sugar, you must fast.
What are the common signs that I need a Liver Function Test?
You should consult your doctor and get an LFT done immediately if you experience symptoms like yellowing of your skin or the whites of your eyes (Jaundice), dark-colored urine, pale stools, persistent abdominal pain or swelling (especially on the upper right side), severe chronic fatigue, or a sudden loss of appetite. It is also routinely advised for those who consume alcohol regularly.
How quickly will I receive my LFT test reports?
Because liver conditions often require quick medical intervention, our fully automated pathology lab processes LFT samples on priority. You will receive your highly accurate and detailed digital reports on the same day, typically within a few hours of the blood collection, sent directly to your phone via WhatsApp or Email.
