What are Liver function tests?

LFT test is known as liver chemistries. It helps determine the health of your liver by measuring the levels of liver enzymes, proteins, and bilirubin in your blood. They can also help determine or monitor the effectiveness of an ongoing or existing disease.

What are they used for?

Liver function tests are used to:

• Find out if liver damage is contributing to certain symptoms
• Identify and analyze the seriousness of liver disease 
• Monitor the progression of the treatment and find out how well it is working
• Check for side effects of some medicines that can alter liver health

Why do I need liver function testing?

A comprehensive metabolic panel often includes liver function tests as part of your routine checkup to screen for liver or other diseases. However, an LFT blood test is critical if you have symptoms of liver disease or damage. These include:

• Vomiting and Nausea
• Fatigue
• Lack of appetite
• Weakness
• Pain or swelling in your abdomen (belly)
• Jaundice, is a condition that causes your eyes and skin to turn yellow
• Swelling in your legs and ankles 
• Light-colored stool (poop) or Dark-colored urine (pee)
• Frequent itching

It is crucial to get tested if you have a high risk of liver damage, even without symptoms. Your risk may be high if you have:

• Alcohol use disorder (AUD)
• A family history of liver disease
• Diabetes
• Obesity
• Consumption of medicines that may cause liver damage
• Hepatitis 

Moreover, if you already have liver disease, it is crucial to get tested to monitor your condition and assess how well the treatment is working.

What happens during a liver function test?

A healthcare professional takes a blood sample using a small needle from a vein in your arm. The needle collects a small amount of blood into the vial or a test tube. 

How can I prepare myself for the LFT test?

Your healthcare provider will tell you about the steps to prepare for your test. You may need to fast (not drink or eat) for 10-12 hours before the test. Moreover, you may also have to leave certain medicines that can affect the test results, so it is critical to tell your provider about everything you take.

Are there any risks involved in the test?

There is no obvious risk involved in having a blood test. You may have slight bruising or pain at the spot where the needle was put in, but these symptoms go away quickly.
