Liver Function Test (LFT) Panel

The Liver Function Test (LFT) Panel at Pamel Laboratories is a comprehensive blood test that evaluates the health and performance of your liver. This panel measures key enzymes, proteins, and waste products produced or processed by the liver, helping to detect liver diseases, bile duct disorders, inflammation, and metabolic imbalances.

Whether for routine health screening, diagnosis, or ongoing monitoring of a known liver condition, this test provides vital insight into your liver’s ability to function properly.

What the Test Includes:

• ALT (SGPT): Detects liver cell injury

• AST (SGOT): Assesses liver and heart health

• ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase): Indicates bile duct or bone disorders

• Total Bilirubin: Measures overall bilirubin level

• Direct (Conjugated) Bilirubin: Indicates bile flow issues

• Total Protein: Assesses overall protein synthesis

• Albumin: Evaluates liver’s protein production ability

Purpose of the Test:

• Diagnose and monitor liver diseases such as:

  • Hepatitis (viral or alcoholic)

  • Cirrhosis

  • Fatty liver disease

  • Liver tumors or abscesses

• Detect bile duct obstruction or gallbladder disease
