Liver Function Test Price in Bangladesh

What is Liver Function Test?

A liver function test (LFT) is a blood test that measures various enzymes, proteins, and substances produced by the liver to assess its health and functionality. Common components tested include ALT (alanine aminotransferase), AST (aspartate aminotransferase), ALP (alkaline phosphatase), bilirubin, and albumin levels.

LFTs help diagnose liver diseases such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, and liver damage from toxins or alcohol. The test requires a blood sample, with minimal risks like slight discomfort at the puncture site.

Abnormal results may indicate liver inflammation, damage, or dysfunction, and guide further diagnostic and treatment decisions.

What to expect & how to prepare

A sample is collected at the centre and analysed in the laboratory. The sample type — blood, urine, stool or another body fluid — depends on the specific test, and the collection staff will tell you which one applies.

• Fasting: only some laboratory tests need fasting, and this varies test by test. Ask the centre whether fasting is required for this specific test when you book, rather than assuming.
• Medication: tell the laboratory about medicines, supplements and recent injections, because some can affect results.
• Requesting slip: bring the doctor's advice or previous reports so the laboratory runs and compares the right test.
• Report timing: turnaround differs between routine and specialised tests — the centre will tell you when your report is ready.

Have a registered doctor interpret the result together with your symptoms rather than self-diagnosing from reference ranges.
