What blood test indicates liver problems?

Been feeling really tired and nauseous off and on, and my family keeps telling me it could be my liver. What blood test would indicate liver problems?

Honestly, for anything liver related, it's always best to get a proper checkup. Don't try to self-diagnose. Just go to your doctor, they will tell you what tests are needed for your specific case. Better safe than sorry!

It's usually an LFT - Liver Function Test. That's the basic panel. It checks for enzymes like ALT, AST, ALP, and bilirubin levels. If those are out of range, then further investigations might be needed. Consult a doctor for interpretation.

Oh no, liver problems sound scary! Maybe I should cut down on all the fried snacks, haan? 😂 But seriously, usually they do an LFT panel to see how your liver is doing. Hope everything is okay for you!

Haan, log LFT karwate hain na? Liver Function Test bolte hain usko. Usmein hi sab levels pata chalte hain. But bina doc ko dikhaye kuch mat karna, woh hi batayenge kya test sahi hai.

Haha, is your liver trying to tell you it needs a vacation from all the good food? 😉 Jokes aside, the LFT (Liver Function Test) is what doctors usually order. It checks a bunch of things like enzymes and bilirubin. Don't worry too much, just get it checked!

As someone managing BP, I know regular checkups are key. For liver, they usually do a 'Liver Function Test' or LFT. It gives a good overview. Always discuss with your doctor about your diet and lifestyle too, it helps a lot.
