Know More About the Liver Function Test (LFT)
The Liver Function Test (LFT), also called a liver profile or hepatic panel, is a single blood test that measures a panel of enzymes, proteins and waste products to assess how well the liver is working. A standard LFT reports Total Bilirubin, Direct (conjugated) and Indirect (unconjugated) Bilirubin, SGPT (ALT), SGOT (AST), Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), Gamma GT (GGT), Total Protein, Albumin, Globulin, and the A/G ratio.
SGPT (ALT) and SGOT (AST) are enzymes released into the blood when liver cells are inflamed or damaged — they are the most sensitive early markers of fatty liver, hepatitis and alcohol-related liver stress. Alkaline Phosphatase and Gamma GT rise when bile flow is obstructed. Bilirubin, a waste product from the breakdown of red blood cells, rises when the liver cannot clear it efficiently and is what causes the yellowing of eyes and skin in jaundice. Albumin and total protein reflect the liver's ability to manufacture proteins, while the A/G ratio helps interpret chronic liver and kidney conditions.
An LFT is ordered when there are symptoms such as persistent fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, dark urine or yellowing of the skin, but it is just as valuable as a routine screen — early-stage fatty liver and mild enzyme elevation usually produce no symptoms at all and are caught only on a blood test.
Irregular eating, shift work and sedentary IT/BPO routines across Noida's sectors drive a rising tide of fatty liver that an LFT catches early, well before symptoms appear. HealthVas lets you compare the Liver Function Test (LFT) across NABL-accredited labs serving Noida across the IT and BPO corridor in Sectors 62, 125, 135 and 16, and the residential sectors along the Expressway, book the lowest accredited price, and have the sample collected free at home.
Who Should Get a Liver Function Test
- People who drink alcohol regularly – Regular or heavy alcohol use is the most common cause of raised liver enzymes. An LFT detects damage long before symptoms appear.
- Anyone with suspected fatty liver – Sedentary lifestyle, obesity, diabetes or high cholesterol raise the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which an LFT helps flag early.
- People on long-term medication – Many common medicines — including some painkillers, statins, anti-TB and anti-epileptic drugs — are processed by the liver and need periodic LFT monitoring.
- Those with jaundice symptoms – Yellowing of the eyes or skin, dark urine, pale stools, nausea or right-upper-abdomen pain all warrant an LFT.
- Hepatitis B or C carriers and contacts – Anyone diagnosed with or exposed to viral hepatitis should monitor liver function on a doctor-advised schedule.
- Shift workers in Noida's IT/BPO sectors – Irregular meals and night shifts disrupt metabolism and raise fatty-liver risk — periodic LFT monitoring helps.
How to Prepare
Fasting for 8–10 hours is generally recommended before an LFT, especially if the test is being done alongside lipid or glucose markers — drink only plain water during the fasting window. If the LFT is being done on its own, light fasting is usually sufficient; follow your doctor's instruction.
Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before the test, as recent drinking can transiently raise liver enzymes and skew results. Mention any medicines or supplements you take, since several affect liver enzyme levels.
HealthVas partner labs offer free home sample collection across Delhi-NCR — a trained phlebotomist visits your home or office at a time slot you choose, so there is no travel and no waiting room. Reports are delivered digitally and a branded copy can be shared directly on WhatsApp.
Why Compare Lab Prices on HealthVas?
Multiple NABL-accredited partner labs offer the Liver Function Test (LFT) on HealthVas, and the price for the exact same panel can differ widely from one lab to the next. Noida has a healthy mix of national chains and strong regional NABL labs, and their prices for the same panel can differ substantially — comparison routinely uncovers a lower-cost accredited option.
NABL accreditation is the baseline standard for diagnostic accuracy in India — it certifies that a lab's equipment, reagents and reporting meet national quality benchmarks. Many partner labs additionally hold NABH, ISO or CAP certification, which add stricter internal quality controls. HealthVas shows you the accreditation alongside the price for each lab so you are comparing like with like, not just chasing the lowest number.
Unlike single-lab booking sites that only ever show you their own rate, HealthVas puts the accredited options side by side on one page. You see the lowest available price, the report turnaround, and whether free home collection is included — then book the lab that fits your budget and timeline.
Liver Function Test — What to Know Before Booking
The LFT is available as a standalone test and is also a core component of most full-body and preventive health packages. If your doctor has flagged kidney concerns too, it is often booked together with a KFT (Kidney Function Test); for suspected viral causes it pairs with a viral marker / hepatitis panel. On HealthVas you can compare the standalone LFT price across labs, or check whether a combined panel works out cheaper for your needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions for this test.
What is included in the Liver Function Test (LFT)?
A standard LFT reports Total Bilirubin, Direct (conjugated) and Indirect (unconjugated) Bilirubin, SGPT (ALT), SGOT (AST), Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), Gamma GT (GGT), Total Protein, Albumin, Globulin, and the A/G ratio. Exact parameters can vary slightly by lab — the full list for each lab is shown on its card.
Do I need to fast for an LFT?
Fasting of 8–10 hours is generally advised, particularly if the LFT is combined with lipid or glucose tests. Drink only plain water during fasting. If the LFT is done alone, follow your doctor's advice on fasting.
What is the price of the LFT?
The LFT starts at ₹379 on HealthVas, with the lowest current rate available from Healthians. Prices vary across NABL-accredited partner labs — the live price for each lab is shown on the page.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes. Free home sample collection is available across Delhi-NCR. A trained phlebotomist visits your home or office at a chosen time slot.
How long do reports take?
Most NABL-accredited partner labs deliver the LFT report within the same day to 24 hours of sample collection. The turnaround for each lab is shown alongside its price.
What do SGPT and SGOT mean in an LFT?
SGPT (ALT) and SGOT (AST) are liver enzymes. Raised levels usually indicate liver cell inflammation or damage — from fatty liver, alcohol, hepatitis or certain medicines. They are the most-watched values on the panel.
Can an LFT detect fatty liver?
An LFT can show enzyme patterns (typically a rise in SGPT/SGOT) that suggest fatty liver, often before any symptoms. Confirming fatty liver may also need an ultrasound, which your doctor can advise.
Should I stop alcohol before the test?
Yes — avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before the LFT, as recent intake can temporarily raise liver enzymes and affect the result.
Why compare LFT prices across labs?
The same NABL-accredited LFT can cost very differently from one lab to another. HealthVas shows the accredited options side by side so you can pick the lowest price with the report time that suits you.
Is the LFT the same as a liver profile or hepatic panel?
Yes. Liver Function Test, liver profile and hepatic panel refer to the same blood test measuring liver enzymes, proteins and bilirubin.
Do I need a doctor's prescription to book?
No prescription is required to book an LFT on HealthVas, though it is always sensible to interpret results with a doctor.
Are the labs NABL-accredited?
Yes. Every partner lab listed for the LFT is NABL-accredited, and additional certifications such as NABH or CAP are shown on the lab card where applicable.
