What bloodwork shows liver function?

I've been feeling a bit sluggish lately, and someone suggested it could be my liver. What kind of bloodwork shows liver function? I'm thinking of getting a check-up soon.

Bhaiyya, liver theek hai ya nahi, uske liye ek test hota hai jisko Liver Function Test (LFT) bolte hain. Usme kuch cheezein dekhte hain jaise SGPT, SGOT, aur bilirubin. Yeh sab bata dete hain liver kitna accha kaam kar raha hai. Tension mat lo, simple test hai.

Haan, liver ke liye LFT (Liver Function Test) hota hai, usme SGPT, SGOT, bilirubin, aur alkaline phosphatase jaise parameters dekhte hain. Isse pata chalta hai ki liver sahi se kaam kar raha hai ya nahi. Apne doc se confirm kar lo, wahi best batayenge na.

I totally freaked out when my doctor mentioned checking my liver. But it's just a Liver Function Test (LFT). They look at enzymes like SGOT, SGPT, and also bilirubin. Mine came back normal, so don't panic even if your doc orders it. It's a standard check.

Oh, that's called an LFT, short for Liver Function Test! It's like a whole bunch of mini-tests. They check for enzymes like SGOT and SGPT, and bilirubin. Super common for a general check-up. My hostel friends got it done for their annual physical.

Namaste. For the liver, the doctors usually recommend a Liver Function Test, or LFT. It checks various enzymes and levels to see its health. Remember to stay positive and take good care of your body, it's a temple. Listen to your body and your doctor.

Liver function? Haha, mine's probably screaming after last night's party! But seriously, they do a Liver Function Test (LFT). It checks a bunch of things like SGOT, SGPT, bilirubin. Basically, it tells you if your liver is still on speaking terms with the rest of your body. Relax, it's a common test!

My child had some liver concerns once, and the pediatrician ordered a full Liver Function Test (LFT) panel. This includes SGPT, SGOT, bilirubin (total and direct), and alkaline phosphatase. It gives a comprehensive picture. Make sure to follow up with a good specialist.

From my experience, when my doctor wanted to check my liver, they ordered a 'Liver Function Test' or LFT. It measured things like SGPT, SGOT, and bilirubin levels. I'm not a doctor, but that's what was done for me.

Um, I'm new to all this. I heard about Liver Function Tests, LFTs? Do they also check for things like albumin in that test? I'm trying to understand more.

Hey, don't stress too much. For liver function, the standard test is called a Liver Function Test (LFT). It checks several things like bilirubin, ALT (SGPT), AST (SGOT), and alkaline phosphatase. These levels tell your doctor if your liver is working correctly. Just get it done, it's a routine test.
