Hey, for liver function, it's generally called an LFT, like Liver Function Test. My friend's dad gets one regularly. It checks for a bunch of things to see if your liver is doing okay. Just go to a proper lab, they'll know.

Don't fall for any internet 'cures' or home remedies for liver issues. The only way to truly test liver function is through a Liver Function Test (LFT) ordered by a doctor. Get proper medical advice, not unverified information.

It's the Liver Function Test (LFT). This panel includes measurements for enzymes like ALT, AST, ALP, and levels of bilirubin and albumin. It gives a good overall picture of how your liver is performing its various functions.
