Quick answer: A liver function test (LFT) measures liver enzymes, bilirubin and proteins to check how the liver is working. Fatty liver often causes no symptoms and LFT can even be normal, so an ultrasound helps. At Ruprela, Raipur, LFT is in every package from ₹999, while USG Abdomen is included only in the Premium package (₹2,500).
The liver processes nutrients, medicines and alcohol, makes important proteins and helps with digestion. It can quietly cope with damage for a long time, which is why liver problems are often found only during a routine checkup.
An LFT is a group of blood tests. The exact list can vary, but it typically includes:
| Component | What it reflects |
|---|---|
| SGPT (ALT) and SGOT (AST) | Enzymes released when liver cells are irritated or damaged |
| Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) | Can rise with problems in bile flow, and also with bone conditions |
| Bilirubin (total, direct, indirect) | A yellow pigment; high levels can cause jaundice |
| Total protein, albumin, globulin | Proteins made by the liver; reflect its making capacity and nutrition |
A mildly raised value does not always mean liver disease. Recent illness, some medicines, heavy exercise and alcohol can affect results. Your doctor will interpret them with your history and may recheck after some weeks.
Fatty liver means extra fat has built up inside liver cells. It is commonly linked to:
Fatty liver not caused by alcohol is now often called metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), previously known as NAFLD. In many people it stays mild, but in some it can progress to inflammation and scarring over years. Early detection gives you and your doctor time to act, mainly through weight control, diet, exercise and managing sugar and cholesterol.
Not reliably. Many people with fatty liver have normal or only slightly raised liver enzymes. An ultrasound of the abdomen is a common way, using no radiation, to look for fat in the liver, and it also shows the gallbladder, kidneys and other organs. At Ruprela, sonography is performed personally by radiologists.
