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

Liver Function Test is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Liver Function Test result rather than self-diagnosing.
