About the Liver Function Test (LFT Full Form: Liver Function Test)
A Liver Function Test (LFT), also called a liver profile or liver panel, is a group of blood tests that measure liver enzymes, bilirubin, and proteins to show how well your liver is working and whether it may be inflamed or damaged.
An LFT can point towards conditions such as hepatitis, fatty liver, alcohol-related liver disease, bile duct problems, or drug-related liver stress. It cannot confirm fatty liver on its own, though — that needs an ultrasound or elastography — and viral hepatitis needs specific virus tests such as HBsAg or anti-HCV.

- SGPT (ALT)

Preparation Before Your Liver Function Test
An LFT needs very little preparation — here's what to keep in mind before your appointment.
Liver Function Test Fasting Requirement
Fasting is usually not required, though some labs advise 8-12 hours of fasting, especially if the LFT is booked with blood sugar or a lipid profile. Our team will confirm when you book.
Avoid Alcohol Beforehand
Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before the test, as it can temporarily raise liver enzymes such as SGOT and GGT.
Inform About Medications & Supplements
Mention any medicines, herbal products, or supplements you take — some painkillers, antibiotics, and supplements can affect liver values. Don't stop prescribed medicines unless your doctor tells you to.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions patients in Chandigarh and the Tricity most often ask about the liver function test, its results, and booking.
What is the full form of LFT test?
LFT stands for Liver Function Test — a group of blood tests that measure liver enzymes, bilirubin, and proteins to check how well your liver is working.
What tests are included in a liver function test?
A standard LFT includes SGOT (AST), SGPT (ALT), ALP, total, direct and indirect bilirubin, total protein, albumin, globulin, and the A/G ratio. GGT is sometimes added separately.
What is the SGOT and SGPT normal range?
As a general guide, SGOT (AST) is about 10-40 U/L and SGPT (ALT) is about 7-56 U/L in adults, though ranges vary by lab and sex. Always check the range printed on your own report.
What is the normal range for bilirubin, albumin, and ALP?
Typical adult ranges are total bilirubin about 0.2-1.2 mg/dL, direct bilirubin up to 0.3 mg/dL, albumin about 3.5-5.0 g/dL, and ALP about 44-147 U/L. Lab ranges differ slightly, so rely on your report.
Is fasting required for a liver function test?
Usually not. Some labs advise 8-12 hours of fasting, particularly if the LFT is combined with blood sugar or a lipid profile. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours beforehand.
Can an LFT confirm fatty liver?
No. Raised SGPT, SGOT, or GGT can point towards fatty liver, but many people with fatty liver have normal LFT values. An ultrasound or elastography is used to confirm it.
What if my LFT is high?
A high enzyme value means your liver may be inflamed or stressed, which has many possible causes — fatty liver, alcohol, viral hepatitis, medicines, or gallbladder problems. Your doctor looks at which values are raised, by how much, and your symptoms before advising next steps.
When should I worry about my liver function test?
Mildly raised values are common and often temporary. Values several times above the upper limit, high bilirubin with yellow eyes or skin, or abnormal results alongside symptoms like dark urine, pale stools, or abdominal swelling deserve prompt medical attention.
What are the signs of poor liver function?
Yellowing of the eyes or skin (jaundice), dark urine, pale stools, persistent fatigue, nausea or loss of appetite, itching, abdominal pain or swelling, and easy bruising. Early liver disease often has no symptoms, which is why testing matters.
Can I check liver function at home?
Symptoms alone can't tell you how your liver is working — only a blood test can. You can, however, book home sample collection so a phlebotomist collects the blood at your doorstep and the test is run at the lab.
What is the difference between a CBC and an LFT?
A CBC measures your blood cells (red cells, white cells, platelets, hemoglobin), while an LFT measures liver enzymes, bilirubin, and proteins. They check different things and are often ordered together.
How long does it take to get liver function test results?
LFT reports are usually available within 24 hours of sample collection.
