What is an LFT and what does it involve?

What is a Liver Function Test?

A Liver Function Test (LFT) measures enzymes and proteins in the blood to assess how well your liver is working. It helps detect liver disease, damage, or inflammation and can flag early signs before symptoms develop. If you’re experiencing abdominal pain, persistent fatigue, or have risk factors such as regular alcohol use or medications that may affect the liver, an LFT is a sensible check. We can discuss whether an LFT is appropriate for you and arrange it at our Loughton clinic. See our Blood tests in Loughton for related testing options.

What could an LFT include?

Results are interpreted in the context of your symptoms, history and other tests, which our private GPs will discuss with you in plain terms.
