Liver Function Test (LFT)

The Liver Function Test (LFT) is an essential diagnostic tool used to assess the overall health and performance of your liver by measuring specific proteins, enzymes, and bilirubin levels in your blood. It is highly beneficial because the liver is a silent organ. It often does not show obvious symptoms until significant damage has occurred. By getting this test, you can detect early signs of inflammation, infection (like Hepatitis), or scarring (Cirrhosis) long before they become critical. Additionally, it helps your doctor monitor the side effects of certain medications that may stress the liver and ensures that bile is flowing correctly, allowing for timely intervention and better long-term health outcomes.
