What Is the LFT Test?

The LFT Test is a critical diagnostic screen performed to evaluate key biomarkers in your blood. Regular testing plays a vital role in the early detection and management of health issues, ensuring you can take proactive control of your wellbeing.

The Liver Function Test (LFT) provides a detailed assessment of hepatic integrity, biliary excretion, and protein synthesis through enzymes like SGPT (ALT), SGOT (AST), and alkaline phosphatase alongside bilirubin fractions and total proteins. Tested on automated clinical chemistry analyzers at CAP and NABL certified labs, an LFT is crucial for monitoring fatty liver changes, medication tolerance, and alcohol clearance. Consider pairing your liver screen with a Lipid Profile, Kidney Function Test, or an all-inclusive Full Body Checkup. Read our medical guides on what high SGPT and SGOT levels mean and fatty liver reversal through diet and exercise.

📊

What Does the LFT Test Measure?

The panel evaluates key biomarkers vital for understanding your physiological health:

Parameter What It Shows Normal Reference Range
SGPT (ALT)
Enzyme mainly in the liver; key marker for liver cell damage 7—56 U/L
SGOT (AST)
Enzyme in liver, heart, and muscles; assesses tissue damage 5—40 U/L
Bilirubin Total
Yellow waste pigment; elevated levels cause jaundice 0.1—1.2 mg/dL
Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)
Enzyme related to bile ducts and bones; detects blockages 44—147 U/L
Serum Albumin
Main protein produced by liver; maintains fluid balance 3.5—5.0 g/dL

* Normal biological reference intervals may vary slightly according to age, gender, and clinical instrumentation. Reports must be evaluated in clinical context by a qualified physician. Learn more about our Medical Review Process and Editorial Policy.

🩺

Who Should Get Tested?

Clinicians recommend the LFT Test for individuals presenting with the following indications or health goals:

👀
Yellow Eyes or Skin

Jaundice symptoms from elevated bilirubin; read our pathologist guide on high SGPT & SGOT levels.

🤢
Nausea & Loss of Appetite

Persistent loss of appetite or digestive heaviness; check organ balance in our Full Body Health Checkup.

📍
Upper Right Abdominal Pain

Discomfort situated under right rib cage; evaluate hepatic enzymes processed in our NABL accredited central labs.

🍷
Alcohol Screening

Evaluation of hepatic stress for regular alcohol consumers; monitor AST/ALT enzyme ratios.

🍔
Fatty Liver Monitoring

Follow-up for ultrasound-detected fatty liver; read our guide on fatty liver reversal and diet.

💊
Long-Term Medications

Monitoring enzyme levels while on cholesterol statins; pair with a Lipid Profile.

📋

How to Prepare for the LFT Test

Preparing for your home blood test is fast, hygienic, and convenient:

🍽️ Fasting Protocol

Fasting is not required for this test; eat and drink normally. Read our comprehensive blood test fasting rules guide for detailed instructions on drinking water, morning coffee, and dinner timing.

💧 Hydration Rules

Drink ample plain water before your morning phlebotomy visit. Proper hydration plumps veins for gentle, painless blood draw without altering clinical biochemical values.

💊 Medication Guidelines

Continue routine blood pressure or thyroid medications unless specifically instructed otherwise by your doctor. Consult our diagnostic reporting guide on how common prescriptions affect blood panels.

Frequently Asked Questions

❓ What does a Liver Function Test (LFT) show?

LFT measures various blood parameters to evaluate how well your liver is synthesizing proteins, clearing waste products (like bilirubin), and releasing enzymes in response to liver injury or disease.

❓ Is fasting required for an LFT blood test?

Yes. A 10-12 hours overnight fast is recommended for the most accurate LFT results, particularly for bilirubin and albumin levels. You can drink plain water. For detailed guidance on drinking water, morning coffee, or dinner timing, read our blood test fasting rules guide.

❓ How much does an LFT test cost at home?

A complete LFT profile covering all liver enzymes, proteins, and bilirubin parameters starts from ₹ 790 including free home sample collection (blood collection is absolutely free of cost). Home collection availability depends on the exact address and selected slot. Enter your pincode in the booking flow to confirm; blood collection is absolutely free of cost at serviceable addresses.

❓ What does elevated SGPT/ALT indicate?

Elevated SGPT/ALT levels indicate liver inflammation or cell damage. Common causes include fatty liver (NAFLD), alcohol consumption, hepatitis viruses, certain medications, or gallstones.

❓ What is the difference between direct and indirect bilirubin?

Direct (conjugated) bilirubin is processed by the liver and is ready for excretion; high levels suggest bile duct blockage. Indirect (unconjugated) bilirubin has not been processed yet; high levels suggest excessive red blood cell breakdown (hemolysis).
