What is LFT Blood Test?

A liver function test (LFT) or liver panel assesses the overall liver condition and function by evaluating the amount of proteins and enzymes excreted by the liver in blood. Doctors may recommend an LFT blood test if the patient exhibits symptoms like abnormal abdominal pain, jaundice, swelling in ankles and legs, dark urine, fatigue, weakness and loss of appetite. 

Individuals seeking an LFT blood test in Kolkata for routine health assessment or on a doctorโ€™s recommendation can contact The Diagnostic Clinical Laboratory for a diagnostic test online.

    Increased liver enzyme and protein levels in the blood are the causes of a high LFT, which indicates liver cell injury or damage, enlarged liver, impaired liver functions, jaundice and chronic liver diseases like cirrhosis.

    Lifestyle and dietary modifications can help recover liver damage and reduce LFT levels.
