Identify the presence of liver disease.
Test panel includes:
- Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (GTO)
- Glutamate Pyruvate Transaminase (GPT)
- Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT)
- Total and Direct Bilirubin
- Total and Direct Albumin

Liver function tests (LFTs) can be a good benchmark to identify the presence of liver disease, measure the extent of liver damage, or help identify a liver disorder. This testing is recommended for patients suspected of a liver disorder, with a family history of liver problems, or patients taking medication that can damage the liver, such as certain medications for hypertension, acne and high cholesterol.
The liver function panel is recommended for patients:
- Showing symptoms of liver or bile system disease (abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, or yellow skin)
- Drinking alcohol excessively
- Taking any medication that can damage the liver
- Diagnosed with liver diseases
- With a family history of liver disease
