Liver Function Test (LFT) in Pune

A Liver Function Test, also known as LFT, is a group of blood tests that measure various enzymes, proteins, and substances produced by your liver. The test checks how well your liver is working by measuring levels of ALT, AST, bilirubin, albumin, and other markers. It helps detect liver damage, inflammation, or diseases like hepatitis and cirrhosis.

Your liver performs over 500 vital functions including filtering toxins, producing proteins, and processing nutrients. Early detection of liver problems is crucial because liver disease often progresses silently without obvious symptoms. Regular LFT monitoring helps catch conditions like hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, or cirrhosis before they become severe and harder to treat.

You should consider this test if you experience persistent fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, or yellowing of skin and eyes. Adults who regularly consume alcohol, take certain medications, have diabetes, or have a family history of liver disease should get tested regularly. Healthcare providers also recommend it before starting new medications that might affect liver function.

High levels of liver enzymes like ALT and AST suggest liver cell damage or inflammation. Elevated bilirubin may indicate problems with bile processing or liver function. Low albumin levels can suggest reduced liver protein production. Your doctor will interpret these results considering your symptoms and medical history to determine the best next steps.

The frequency depends on your individual risk factors and current health status. If you're on medications that affect the liver, your doctor may recommend testing every 3-6 months. For routine health monitoring in healthy adults, annual testing is often sufficient. People with existing liver conditions may need more frequent monitoring as advised by their healthcare provider.
