Liver function Test(LFT)
EXTENDED LIVER FUNCTION TEST at Ayiconda Medical Lab Techiman - The Most Complete Liver Check.
THIS EXTENDED LFT INCLUDES 8 TESTS:
1. PROTEINS:
✔ Total Protein - 60-80 g/L - Overall nutrition & liver synthetic function
✔ Albumin - 35-50 g/L - Main liver protein, shows chronic liver disease
2. BILIRUBIN (Jaundice Markers):
✔ Total Bilirubin
✔ Direct Bilirubin (Conjugated)
✔ Indirect Bilirubin (Unconjugated) - Calculated
✔ ALP - Included with Bilirubin for obstructive jaundice differentiation
3. ENZYMES:
✔ ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase) - Bile duct blockage, bone disease
✔ GGT (Gamma GT) - Alcohol marker, very sensitive for bile duct & alcohol damage
✔ ALT (SGPT) - Liver cell injury
✔ AST (SGOT) - Liver, heart, muscle
Why ADD GGT + ALP + Proteins?
- GGT = Gold standard for alcohol liver damage + distinguishes ALP source (liver vs bone)
- ALP + GGT + Bilirubin together = Tells if jaundice is BLOCKAGE (gallstones) or LIVER CELL damage
- Proteins = Shows chronic liver failure, not just acute injury
- Without these, LFT is INCOMPLETE
Who Needs EXTENDED LFT?
✔ Yellow eyes / dark urine - Which type of jaundice?
✔ Hepatitis B/C follow up
✔ Alcohol use - GGT will catch it
✔ Gallstones / right upper abdominal pain
✔ Fatty liver, on medication (TB drugs, herbal mixtures)
✔ Swollen abdomen / legs (low protein)
✔ Pre-surgery fitness
