LFT-LIVER FUNCTION TEST

It is generally recommended as part of routine check up. If you have symptoms of Liver problems, such as Jaundice or Fatigue, then also this test is recommended.

Generally, no special preparation is needed for this test. However, fasting for eight to twelve hours prior to the test may be necessary in some circumstances, particularly if other tests are also recommended with this test.

Results from the LFT that are abnormal may point to illness, inflammation, or liver damage. However, additional testing might be required to identify the precise cause.

Some drugs may affect the results of a LFT. Before the test, let your doctor know if you are taking any supplements or medications.

Your health condition and risk factors affect your frequency of getting LFT done. Depending upon your requirements, your doctor will advise you this.

Probably within 4 hours you will get your reports. However, time of report generation may vary depending upon the other tests advised along with it.

If you find that your LFT parameters are not normal, then reach out to your doctor for the accurate advice. The doctor prescribes you certain medications or supplements.
