About the liver function test

A liver function test measures the enzymes and proteins that reveal how well the liver is working and whether its cells are being damaged. It is ordered for jaundice, for persistent fatigue and loss of appetite, for anyone on long-term medication that is processed by the liver — anti-tubercular drugs, statins, anti-epileptics, methotrexate — and for regular alcohol users. Fatty liver disease is now extremely common among urban Indian adults, frequently silent, and often first spotted as a mildly raised SGPT on a routine health check rather than through any symptom.

What the LFT test measures

Total, direct and indirect bilirubin — the jaundice markers

SGPT / ALT — the most liver-specific damage enzyme

SGOT / AST

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP)

GGT — sensitive to alcohol and bile duct problems

Total protein, albumin and globulin, A/G ratio

Who usually needs a LFT test

Yellowing of eyes or skin — jaundice
Persistent fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite
Known or suspected fatty liver on ultrasound
Regular alcohol use — periodic monitoring
Patients on anti-TB, anti-epileptic, statin or methotrexate therapy
Hepatitis B or C follow-up
Dark urine or pale stools
Pre-operative workup and routine annual health checks

Preparation: fasting required

8–10 hours of fasting is usually preferred, particularly when the LFT is part of a full check-up with a lipid profile. Water is allowed. Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours — it can raise enzyme levels on its own.

How we collect your LFT sample at home

Your sample is drawn by a registered nurse or trained phlebotomist — not a courier — which is why we can safely handle elderly, bedridden, difficult-vein, paediatric and post-surgical patients that most collection services struggle with.

Most routine tests are reported in 8–10 hours. Specialised tests and cultures take longer — we tell you the exact turnaround before we collect, never after.

LFT normal range — indicative values

What a typical adult reference range looks like for this test.

Indicative adult reference ranges for the Liver Function Test
Parameter	Indicative adult range
Total bilirubin	0.3 – 1.2 mg/dL
SGPT / ALT	7 – 56 U/L
SGOT / AST	8 – 48 U/L
Alkaline phosphatase	45 – 115 U/L
Total protein	6.0 – 8.3 g/dL
Albumin	3.5 – 5.0 g/dL

Indicative adult reference ranges only. Every laboratory publishes its own reference interval, and values shift with age, sex, pregnancy and medication. These figures are for orientation — never for self-diagnosis. Your report must be interpreted by your treating doctor.

Frequently asked about the liver function test

Is fasting required for a liver function test?

Most laboratories and doctors prefer an 8–10 hour fasting sample, especially when the LFT is being done alongside a lipid profile or fasting sugar as part of a health check. Water is allowed. Just as important: no alcohol for at least 24 hours beforehand, because even social drinking the previous evening can lift GGT and SGPT enough to produce a misleading report.

What does a high SGPT mean?

SGPT (also written ALT) is the enzyme most specific to liver cells, so a raised level means liver cells are being irritated or damaged. In urban India the commonest reason by far is fatty liver, followed by alcohol, viral hepatitis and drug effects. A mild rise is common and frequently reversible with weight loss and stopping alcohol; a marked rise needs proper evaluation. Only your doctor can tell which is which — do not self-interpret this value.

Can you collect an LFT sample for a jaundice patient at home?

Yes, and it is a sensible thing to do. A jaundiced patient is usually weak, nauseated and advised rest, so bringing them to a lab is both uncomfortable and unnecessary. Our nurse collects at home and can repeat the test at whatever interval your physician wants to track bilirubin — serial monitoring every few days is common in hepatitis, and doing that at home is far easier on the patient.

LFT test cost at home in Bangalore?

At the lowest price available in the market. LFT is nearly always ordered with KFT and CBC — all three come from the same draw in one visit with no repeat collection charge. Call +91 72178 72802 to confirm today's rate.
