Liver Function Test (LFT) in Tambaram – Indian Scan Diagnostic Centre
Your liver plays a vital role in filtering toxins, producing essential proteins, and managing metabolism. The Liver Function Test (LFT) helps assess how well your liver is performing by measuring enzyme and protein levels in the blood.
Why Liver Function Tests Are Important
Regular liver screening helps detect liver disorders early — such as fatty liver, hepatitis, jaundice, cirrhosis, or alcohol-related liver injury.
An LFT is often recommended if you experience:
- Yellowing of skin or eyes (jaundice)
- Unexplained fatigue or nausea
- Abdominal swelling or pain
- History of alcohol consumption
- Ongoing medication use affecting the liver
Early diagnosis through an LFT in Tambaram ensures timely treatment and better health outcomes.

Understanding Your LFT Results
Once your results are ready, our doctors help interpret them in detail. Elevated enzymes may indicate inflammation, viral hepatitis, or fatty liver. Low protein or albumin levels could reflect nutritional deficiency or chronic disease. Bilirubin elevation is often linked to jaundice or bile obstruction.
Types of Liver Function Tests
ALT & AST
These enzymes indicate liver cell health. Elevated levels may suggest liver inflammation or damage.
- Detection of liver injury or hepatitis.
- Assessment of enzyme imbalance.
- Monitors response to treatment.
Bilirubin
Bilirubin levels help evaluate liver’s ability to process and excrete waste products from the blood.
- Detection of jaundice.
- Monitoring bile duct function.
- Helps identify liver or hemolytic disorders.
ALP & GGT
These enzymes assess bile duct function and detect obstruction or cholestatic liver disease.
- Identifies bile flow issues.
- Monitors liver disease progression.
- Supports diagnosis of liver and bone disorders.
Albumin
Albumin levels reflect liver’s protein synthesis capability, essential for maintaining fluid balance and overall health.
- Assesses liver synthetic function.
- Helps detect malnutrition or chronic liver disease.
- Monitors treatment effectiveness.
Total Protein
Total protein test measures overall protein levels in the blood, reflecting liver function and nutritional status.
- Assesses liver protein production.
- Helps detect liver disease or malnutrition.
- Supports overall health evaluation.
