Hepatic Profile (LFT, Liver Function Tests) LIS Code: HEPACTIC PROFIL
Monitor liver enzyme levels and overall liver health with our Hepatic Profile. Detect inflammation, jaundice, or liver damage through key LFT markers.
What's included in this profile
- An enzyme found mainly in the liver
- Raised levels can indicate liver inflammation or damage
- Commonly checked alongside AST to assess liver health
- The main protein made by the liver
- Helps maintain fluid balance in the blood
- Low levels can indicate liver or kidney problems, or poor nutrition
- An enzyme found in the liver, bone and bile ducts
- Raised levels can point to liver, bile duct or bone conditions
- Interpreted alongside other liver markers for context
- An enzyme found in the liver, heart and muscles
- Raised levels can suggest liver or muscle damage
- Used alongside ALT to help pinpoint the cause of liver stress
- The processed (conjugated) form of bilirubin
- Raised levels often point to a blockage in bile flow
- Interpreted together with total bilirubin
- An enzyme sensitive to liver and bile duct problems
- Often raised with alcohol intake or bile flow issues
- Helps confirm whether a raised ALP is liverrelated
- A group of proteins involved in immune function and transport
- Assessed alongside albumin to give a fuller liver/immune picture
- Abnormal levels can reflect liver disease, infection or inflammation
- The unprocessed (unconjugated) form of bilirubin
- Raised levels can suggest increased red cell breakdown
- Interpreted together with total bilirubin
- An enzyme found in many tissues including liver, heart and muscle
- Raised levels can indicate tissue damage from various causes
- A general marker, usually interpreted alongside more specific tests
- A breakdown product of old red blood cells, processed by the liver
- Raised levels can cause jaundice (yellowing of skin/eyes)
- Helps assess liver function and red cell turnover
- The combined total of albumin and globulin in the blood
- Reflects overall nutritional and liver status
- Abnormal results prompt a closer look at albumin/globulin individually

Hepatic Profile
Comprehensive Blood Test to Assess Liver Function and Health
The Hepatic Profile is a detailed blood test designed to evaluate liver function, enzyme activity, and metabolic health. It offers essential insights into how well the liver is performing its vital roles in detoxification, protein production, and digestion, and helps identify early signs of liver dysfunction.
Who Should Take This Test?
This test is recommended for individuals who:
Show symptoms of liver disease such as jaundice, abdominal pain, fatigue, or unexplained weight loss
Have a history of liver conditions like hepatitis, fatty liver disease, or cirrhosis
Are on medications that may affect liver function
Require pre-treatment liver function assessment or routine monitoring during therapy
Are undergoing routine health check-ups and want to assess liver health
When to Get Tested
Consider this test if you:
Experience symptoms suggestive of liver dysfunction
Are managing a chronic liver condition
Need to monitor treatment impact on liver health
Want to include a comprehensive liver screen in your annual health assessment
Fasting Requirements
Fasting is not strictly required, but it is recommended for optimal accuracy, especially when the test is combined with other metabolic panels. Follow your healthcare provider's guidance for best results.
What’s Measured?
The Hepatic Profile typically includes:
Liver enzymes (ALT, AST, ALP, GGT): Indicate liver cell damage or bile duct issues
Bilirubin (Total and Direct): Elevated levels can signal liver or bile duct problems
Albumin and Total Protein: Assess the liver’s ability to produce essential proteins
Prothrombin Time (optional): May be included to evaluate blood clotting function related to liver health
Key Benefits
Provides a thorough assessment of liver function
Helps diagnose liver conditions early
Assists in monitoring disease progression or treatment response
Offers peace of mind through routine health screening
Safeguard your liver health with the Hepatic Profile — a smart, proactive approach to diagnosing and managing liver-related conditions.
