Liver Function (LFT Test)

The Liver Function Test (LFT Test) measures multiple proteins and enzymes produced by the liver to ensure that the liver is in healthy and working order. The liver is part of the body’s digestive system and is primarily responsible for metabolic functions. The liver filters blood from the digestive tract and processes chemicals that enter the body. Jaundice, dark urine, abdominal pain, and nausea are common symptoms of a liver condition and good indication that you should get tested. Those with a history of liver disease, overweight individuals, heavy drinkers, and diabetics are at the highest risk of liver disease, but any adult is advised to receive a Liver Function Test periodically.
