Liver Function Test (LFT) in Faridabad

At a Glance

Profile: Liver Function Test (LFT). Tests: 12 parameters. Price: From 390. Fasting: Not required. Sample: Serum. Reports: 24 hours, digital. Home collection: Available across Faridabad. Lab: NABL-accredited. For someone on an early factory shift or a rotating roster, planning a fast around a lab visit is the part that usually puts a blood test off. The Liver Function Test (LFT) removes it. There is no fasting, so you can give the sample before a shift, after it, or on a rest day, and the digital report arrives within 24 hours. ## The 12 Parameters, Grouped Liver-cell enzymes: Aspartate Aminotransferase (SGOT) and Alanine Transaminase (ALT/SGPT) are released when liver cells are injured. ALT is the more liver-specific. SGOT is also in muscle, so the SGOT/SGPT Ratio is read with that in mind. Bile-duct markers: Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) and Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) rise when bile drainage is impaired. GGT also reacts to alcohol and some medicines. Pigments: Bilirubin Total, Bilirubin Direct and Bilirubin Indirect. High direct bilirubin suggests blocked bile flow or cell injury; high indirect suggests faster red cell breakdown or Gilbert syndrome. Proteins: Protein Total, Albumin, Globulin and Albumin / Globulin Ratio. Low albumin usually reflects a longer-running problem. ## Physical Work and the SGOT Reading SGOT is not made only by the liver; muscle releases it too. After a very physically demanding shift, or a heavy session of lifting, SGOT can sit modestly above the reference range even though the liver is fine. That is why it helps to read SGOT with ALT, which is more liver-specific, and with the SGOT/SGPT Ratio. If your result is only mildly raised after a heavy working day, a repeat after a day of lighter activity is a sensible thing to discuss with your doctor. This is an interpretation point, not a reason to avoid the test, and it does not suggest anything about workplace exposure. ## Fatty Liver and Established Residential Sectors An estimated 30–40% of urban Indian adults have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (Duseja A, et al., Indian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2022). People in their forties and fifties in the older sectors, with a lifetime of heavy meals and less activity than they once had, are exactly who are advised to check. Fatty liver can leave enzymes normal, so a normal LFT does not exclude it, and ultrasound is what shows it. ## Medicines and Supplements Painkillers in high doses, some antibiotics, anti-tuberculosis drugs, cholesterol tablets and gym supplements can raise liver enzymes. Tell the phlebotomist what you take, and keep taking prescribed medicine unless your doctor says otherwise. ## What Happens After a Raised Result A mild rise in ALT or SGOT is common and is often repeated after a few weeks before further steps. Doctors look at the pattern: high enzymes with normal bilirubin, high bilirubin with normal enzymes, or ALP and GGT high together. Each pattern suggests a different next step, such as a repeat test, an ultrasound, a hepatitis test or a medicine review. The report flags values outside the reference range, and interpretation belongs with your doctor. ## Home Collection in Faridabad Sample collection is available at home across NIT 1, NIT 2, NIT 3, NIT 5, Sector 15, Sector 16, Sector 21C, Sector 28, Old Faridabad, Ballabgarh, Neharpar and Greater Faridabad. Any collection charge is shown in the booking flow before you confirm, and there is no fasting to plan around the shift. ## Package Option The Liver Function Test (LFT) is part of every full body package, starting with the Basic Full Body Checkup (77 parameters), together with the Kidney Function Test (KFT), Lipid Profile and Complete Blood Count (CBC) + ESR. If you need several panels, a package costs less than booking them separately. Packages need a 10-hour fast; this profile does not. ## What Is Not Included No Hepatitis A, B, C or E test, no prothrombin time (PT/INR), no alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), no ultrasound or elastography, no Lipid Profile, no glucose, HbA1c or iron tests. A normal LFT does not rule out early cirrhosis, and no blood test names the cause of a raised enzyme without a doctor's assessment. ## Sources Duseja A, et al.

Fasting: Not required. There is no fasting window to plan around an early start or a rotating shift. Sample: One venous blood draw, processed as serum. All 12 parameters run from it. After a heavy shift: SGOT also comes from muscle and can read slightly high after very physical work. If you can, give the sample after a lighter day, or tell your doctor what the previous day involved. Medicines: Continue prescribed medicines unless your doctor says otherwise. Tell the phlebotomist about painkillers, antibiotics, anti-tuberculosis drugs, cholesterol tablets, herbal products and supplements. Alcohol: Avoid heavy drinking for a day or two before; it raises GGT and can lift SGOT and ALT. Home collection: Available across Faridabad, including NIT 1, NIT 2, NIT 3, NIT 5, Sector 15, 16, 21C, 28, 37, 46, Old Faridabad, Ballabgarh, Neharpar and Greater Faridabad. Any collection charge is shown in the booking flow before you confirm. Reports: Digital within 24 hours with reference ranges and flagged values.
