Liver Function Test (LFT) in Mohali

11-parameter comprehensive liver health evaluation at Agilus Diagnostics Sector 69. Accurate detection of fatty liver, jaundice, hepatitis, and enzyme abnormalities. Same-day digital reports.

What is a Liver Function Test (LFT)?

The Liver Function Test (LFT) is a group of blood tests designed to evaluate the operational health and metabolic efficiency of the liver. It measures the concentration of specific enzymes, proteins, and bilirubin in the blood serum. Because the liver filters toxins, synthesizes vital proteins, and produces digestive bile, regular LFT screening helps diagnose conditions like fatty liver disease, alcohol-related damage, hepatitis, and medication toxicity before permanent liver damage occurs.

Parameters Measured in Agilus Mohali LFT Panel

Our NABL accredited laboratory protocol measures all 11 critical liver bio-markers:

Test Parameter Clinical Significance Standard Clinical Range
Bilirubin Total Total yellow pigment produced during breakdown of red blood cells 0.2 – 1.2 mg/dL
Bilirubin Direct (Conjugated) Processes bile duct clearance; screens for jaundice & obstruction 0.0 – 0.3 mg/dL
Bilirubin Indirect (Unconjugated) Reflects hemolysis and liver uptake efficiency 0.1 – 0.8 mg/dL
SGOT / AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase) Enzyme indicating cellular injury in liver, heart, or muscle 10 – 40 U/L
SGPT / ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase) Highly specific liver enzyme; detects acute liver inflammation & fatty liver 7 – 56 U/L
Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) Screens for bile duct blockages and bone disorders 44 – 147 U/L
Total Protein Measures total albumin and globulin in blood serum 6.0 – 8.3 g/dL
Serum Albumin Major protein synthesized exclusively by healthy liver cells 3.5 – 5.0 g/dL
Serum Globulin Immune proteins and antibodies produced in the body 2.0 – 3.5 g/dL
Albumin / Globulin (A:G) Ratio Evaluates balance between liver synthesis and immune activity 1.0 – 2.2
Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) Sensitive marker for bile duct health and alcohol sensitivity (optional add-on) 9 – 48 U/L

When Should You Get an LFT Test Done?

  • Yellowing of the eyes or skin (signs of jaundice).
  • Chronic fatigue, unexplained nausea, or persistent loss of appetite.
  • Abdominal discomfort or swelling in the upper right abdomen.
  • Dark-colored urine or pale/clay-colored stools.
  • Regular alcohol consumption or prior diagnosis of fatty liver (steatosis).
  • Long-term usage of cholesterol statins, tuberculosis drugs, or painkillers that stress liver enzymes.
  • Routine annual preventative screening.

Test Preparation & Fasting Guidelines

Fasting Instructions: 10 to 12 hours of overnight fasting is mandatory for an accurate LFT. Drinking plain water is completely permitted and recommended.

Avoid alcoholic beverages and high-fat greasy meals for at least 24 hours prior to the test to prevent temporary spikes in SGPT/SGOT enzyme readings.
