Does blood work show liver damage?
I used to drink quite a bit when I was younger, and sometimes I wonder if it caused any damage. Can a routine blood test actually reveal if there's liver damage? I want to know if I should be worried.

Yes, a Liver Function Test (LFT) checks your SGPT, SGOT, and bilirubin levels, which can show liver stress. I always get super anxious waiting for these reports, but it is really the best way to know if there's any damage. Please get it done soon to ease your mind.

My dad had fatty liver and his regular blood test actually picked up the elevated enzymes early on. It's super simple and doctors can catch issues before they get worse. Just get a basic LFT done from any good lab.

I just recovered from high liver enzymes due to some medication side effects last month. My blood test was the first thing that alerted my doctor, and we managed to reverse it on time. Get it checked, it's very reliable.

A standard LFT will show high enzymes, but for a detailed view of liver damage or scarring, doctors usually order an ultrasound or FibroScan. Go to a good hospital and get a proper diagnosis rather than guessing.
