Liver Function Test (lft) In Delhi

Liver Function Test (LFT) Overview

The main aim of a liver function test is to assess liver health. The test measures the level of certain enzymes that increases in number when the liver is damaged and not functioning as it should. The timely and correct assessment of the liver helps treat infection, inflammation, and other liver diseases. The liver function test(LFT) is available in Apollo Diagnostics, Delhi at a nominal price.

The liver is a key organ and has a vital role to play in your overall health. From breaking down food to making proteins, storing energy, and cleaning blood, the liver performing properly helps maintain robust wellness. If all is not well with liver functioning, your body will show symptoms ranging from swelling in the legs, chronic fatigue, or yellow skin. It is when you require a liver function test to assess what is happening inside.

The liver test result compares the patient’s current and normal range of essential biomarkers such as SGOT, SGPT, GGTP, alkaline phosphate, bilirubin, globulin, albumin, etc.
