Beta, liver ke enzymes check karne ke liye Liver Function Test (LFT) hota hai. Usme SGPT (ALT) aur SGOT (AST) jaisi cheezein dekhte hain. Pehle ke zamane mein log haldi aur neem ka paani bhi peete the liver ke liye, par ab doctor se hi poochhna chahiye.

I just recovered from a liver issue, so I know this! They do a Liver Function Test (LFT). In that, they specifically check enzymes like ALT (SGPT) and AST (SGOT). Those levels tell them if your liver is stressed. Make sure you follow the doctor's instructions properly.

When my dad had some liver issues, the doctor asked for a Liver Function Test (LFT). It showed his SGPT and SGOT levels. That's my only experience, so for proper medical advice, always talk to a doctor.
