Spectrophotometry

Sample Required

SERUM (1ML)

Preparation

#1) Fasting Recommendation: While not always mandatory, 8–10 hours of fasting is preferred for the most accurate results, as food intake can affect certain enzyme and pigment levels. #2) Alcohol: Avoid alcohol for at least 24–48 hours before the test, as it can significantly elevate GGT and transaminase levels. #3) Medications: Inform your doctor about any medications, supplements, or herbal remedies (especially Tylenol/Paracetamol or St. John's Wort) you are taking, as many are metabolized by the liver. #4) Hydration: Drink plenty of water to ensure easy blood collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are there two types of Bilirubin?

Direct bilirubin is processed by the liver; indirect is not. Knowing which one is high helps doctors determine if the problem is in the liver or due to blood breakdown.

Can exercise affect my LFT results?

Yes, very intense exercise can temporarily increase AST and ALT levels because these enzymes are also present in muscle tissue.

What is the most sensitive marker for alcohol use?

GGT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase) is usually the first enzyme to rise due to alcohol consumption, even before the liver is severely damaged.

What is the difference between AST and ALT?

ALT is found primarily in the liver, making it a more specific indicator of liver health. AST is found in the liver, heart, and skeletal muscles.

Can fatty liver be detected by an LFT?

Yes, LFTs often show mild elevations in ALT and AST in cases of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD).

Why is the Albumin/Globulin ratio important?

It helps narrow down the cause of protein imbalances. A low ratio might suggest an autoimmune issue or chronic liver damage.

Does a normal LFT mean my liver is 100% healthy?

Not necessarily. Some chronic conditions, like stable cirrhosis or early fatty liver, may show normal enzyme levels. Clinical correlation is key.

How long does it take to get the results?

The report is ready within 6 hours of the sample reaching our lab.

Is it okay to take Paracetamol before the test?

It is best to avoid it for 24 hours before the test if possible, as high doses can temporarily affect liver enzyme readings.

What is Bilirubin?

It is a yellowish pigment made during the normal breakdown of red blood cells. The liver filters it out of the blood and passes it into the intestines.
