Profile: Liver Function Test (LFT). Tests: 12 parameters. Price: From 390. Fasting: Not required. Sample: Serum. Reports: 24 hours, digital. Home collection: Available across Greater Noida. Lab: NABL-accredited. Greater Noida is spread out, and getting to a collection centre can take a good part of a day. A Liver Function Test (LFT) is a blood test where that matters less than it should, because it needs no fasting and no particular hour. A phlebotomist visits your home, draws one serum sample and the digital report follows in 24 hours. There is no early start, no queue and no journey. ## What the Panel Reports Twelve parameters, in four groups. The enzymes Aspartate Aminotransferase (SGOT) and Alanine Transaminase (ALT/SGPT) indicate liver-cell injury, with ALT being more specific to the liver. The SGOT/SGPT Ratio is calculated from them. Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) and Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) point to the bile ducts, and GGT also reacts to alcohol and certain medicines. The pigment group is Bilirubin Total, Bilirubin Direct and Bilirubin Indirect. Direct bilirubin rises with blocked bile flow or liver-cell injury, indirect with faster red cell breakdown or Gilbert syndrome. The protein group is Protein Total, Albumin, Globulin and Albumin / Globulin Ratio, showing whether the liver is making protein normally. Low albumin tends to appear in long-standing disease. ## Who Benefits Most From Home Collection Here An elderly parent in a residential sector who is unsteady on their feet, a student or hostel resident in the Knowledge Park area without a vehicle, or a family that moved out from Delhi for space and now travels further for everything: for each of them, a home draw replaces a half-day trip. The test itself is the same wherever it is drawn, and the sample is processed at a NABL-accredited laboratory in our network. Any collection charge is shown in the booking flow before you confirm. ## Why a Doctor Orders This Test Common reasons are a raised SGPT on an earlier report, a new long-term medicine such as anti-tuberculosis treatment or a cholesterol-lowering tablet, yellow eyes, or a fatty liver seen on ultrasound. Fatty liver affects an estimated 30–40% of urban Indian adults (Duseja A, et al., Indian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2022). Because enzymes can be normal in fatty liver, a normal result does not exclude it. Ultrasound shows fat; blood tests suggest injury. ## What Happens After a Raised Result A mild rise in ALT or SGOT is common and is often repeated after a few weeks. Doctors look at the pattern: enzymes high with normal bilirubin, bilirubin high with normal enzymes, or ALP and GGT high together. Each pattern points to 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. ## Before the Draw Eat and drink normally. Avoid unusually hard exercise the day before, as muscle also contains SGOT. Mention painkillers, antibiotics, herbal products and supplements to the phlebotomist, since several raise liver enzymes. Do not stop prescribed medicines on your own. ## Booking With Other Panels The Liver Function Test (LFT) is included in every full body package, starting with the Basic Full Body Checkup (77 parameters), along with the Kidney Function Test (KFT), Lipid Profile and Complete Blood Count (CBC) + ESR. When two or more of these panels are needed, a package costs less than separate bookings, and one home visit covers all of them. Packages require 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 a raised value does not name its cause. That needs a doctor and, often, further tests. ## Sources Duseja A, et al.
