Liver Function

Tests Liver function tests (LFTs) are blood tests that measure different enzymes, proteins, and other substances produced by the liver. They are used to diagnose and monitor diseases or damage to the liver. LFTs are important in identifying and assessing treatments for liver diseases and can also detect metabolic and hormonal changes, as well as ongoing inflammation. As the liver is vital for normal body function, LFTs help assess overall health and can assist in the early detection of serious health issues. With various types of tests available, the results help the healthcare provider to determine the cause and severity of the liver disease.
