Liver Function Test (LFT)

$ 41.00 AUD

The Liver Function Test (LFT) measures key biomarkers to assess liver health, function, and potential damage. This test evaluates liver enzyme levels, protein production, and bilirubin levels to detect liver disease, inflammation, or bile duct issues. It is commonly used to monitor conditions such as fatty liver disease, hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and the effects of medications or alcohol consumption on the liver.

Number of Biomarkers

What is included?

Bilirubin

Bilirubin is a yellow pigment from red blood cell breakdown, indicating liver function and hemolysis.

Gamma-glutamyl Transferase (GGT)

GGT is an enzyme indicating liver and bile duct health, with elevated levels suggesting liver damage or bile duct obstruction.

Albumin

Albumin is a protein indicating liver and kidney function, fluid balance, and nutritional status.

Globulin

Globulins, synthesized in the liver and present in blood and other fluids, are integral to immune function as antibodies, crucial for blood clotting, and essential for transporting hormones, cholesterol, and metals throughout the body.

Total Protein

Total Protein measures the combined levels of albumin and globulin, indicating overall protein status, liver and kidney function, and nutritional health.

Alkaline Phosphatase

ALP is an enzyme indicating liver, bile duct, and bone health, with elevated levels suggesting liver or bone disorders.

Gastrin

Gastrin is a hormone that signals your stomach to produce acid for digestion, playing a key role in breaking down food.

Alanine Aminotransferase

ALT is a liver enzyme indicating liver health, with elevated levels signifying liver cell damage or inflammation.

FAQ Overview

Commonly Asked Questions

What is a Liver Function Test?

The LFT measures key liver biomarkers, including enzymes, proteins, and bilirubin, to assess overall liver function and health.

Why is this test important?

Monitoring liver function helps detect liver disease, inflammation, and damage early, allowing for timely lifestyle changes or medical intervention.

What can affect my test results?

Alcohol, medications, infections, dehydration, and fatty liver disease can impact liver enzyme levels and protein synthesis.

Can lifestyle changes impact liver biomarkers?

Yes, reducing alcohol intake, maintaining a healthy diet, and exercising regularly can improve liver function and lower enzyme levels.

Why are liver enzymes important?

Liver enzymes like AST, ALT, and GGT help identify liver damage, bile duct issues, and metabolic disorders.

Why is bilirubin included in this test?

Bilirubin levels assess liver detoxification and bile flow, with high levels possibly indicating liver disease or bile duct obstruction.
