Hepatic Profile (LFT, Liver Function Tests)

£40.00

The Hepatic Profile (LFT) (SP19) is a comprehensive liver function test that assesses the health and performance of your liver by measuring key liver enzymes, bilirubin, and protein markers. This profile helps evaluate liver function, metabolic activity, detoxification processes, nutritional status, and potential liver inflammation or damage. Available at Medical Diagnosis Victoria (MDX Victoria) in London, with rapid results typically available within 4 hours.

Metabolism & Detoxification

Hepatic Profile (LFT)

This profile (SP19) assesses the essential health and function of your liver. It measures critical liver enzymes, waste clearance performance, and synthetic protein production to evaluate overall liver health, metabolic activity, and nutritional status.

Why Choose This Test?

Injury Identification

This profile checks crucial markers to detect:

  • Unexplained liver cell injury
  • Hepatic inflammation or stress
  • Side effects from specific medications
  • Signs of fatty liver or toxic load

Functional Clearance

It evaluates structural capacity by grouping:

  • Full bilirubin breakdown panels
  • Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) values
  • Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT)
  • Biliary waste clearance systems

Synthetic Performance

It measures protein outputs to check:

  • Total protein synthesis efficiency
  • Albumin and Globulin ratios
  • General metabolic nutrient health
  • Baseline dietary absorption states

No special fasting or complex preparatory instructions are requested for this liver function panel. When you visit Medical Diagnosis Victoria, simply proceed to check in at our main reception desk. A fully trained clinical phlebotomist will acquire a tiny blood sample from an arm vein. The system is quick and smooth. While we accommodate standard walk-in traffic easily, scheduling an online slot guarantees you rapid access.

Component Index

What Is Included?

This profile checks 11 individual metrics to deliver an exhaustive biological summary of core enzyme pathways, waste tracking, and protein levels.

Liver Enzyme Panel

Measures essential proteins within liver cells. Elevated levels typically reveal cellular damage, leaks, or ongoing tissue stress.

Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)
Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST)
Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)
Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT)
Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH)
Clinical focus:
Tracking active inflammation and identifying localized structural injury inside cell walls.

Bilirubin Clearance

Evaluates how cleanly your biological systems process and flush old red blood cell waste through biliary ducts.

Bilirubin Total
Bilirubin Direct
Bilirubin Indirect
Clinical focus:
Pinpointing pathway blockages, monitoring waste transport, and evaluating early jaundice risks.

Synthetic Protein Status

Assesses the actual production capacity of crucial blood fluids manufactured directly within hepatic pathways.

Proteins Total
Albumin
Globulin
Clinical focus:
Evaluating overall synthesis competence, fluid distribution health, and nutritional base values.

Understanding Liver Function Dynamics

Enzymes like ALT and AST act as sensitive indicators that signal active liver cell stress when elevated. Combining these with clearance tracking via Bilirubin panels and building blocks such as Albumin lets diagnostic teams distinguish distinct structural patterns. This differentiation helps identify whether issues stem from localized cell injury, biliary pipeline blockages, or systemic changes in synthetic output.

Pathology Reports

How To Read Your Laboratory Results

Your final PDF data will document individual results paired clearly alongside validated standard medical reference ranges. If any tested value lands outside these boundaries, it is marked distinctly. Important: Discovering a singular elevated indicator does not immediately prove an active disease condition exists. Laboratory metrics must always be weighed in context with your medical history and clinical background.

Results Timeline: Because this panel uses direct automated chemical platforms, reports are generated fast and typically available in just 4 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to fast before the test?
No special fasting routines or dietary restrictions are required prior to taking the Hepatic Profile (LFT).

How quickly will I get my results?
Your total results are completed rapidly and delivered securely inside 4 hours of laboratory collection.

Can I walk in, or do I need an appointment?
Walk-in requests are handled smoothly at the clinic, but setting a time online avoids unnecessary waits.

What should I do if my results are abnormal?
If key enzymes reflect abnormal spikes, we encourage booking a prompt Private GP review with our team.

Is the phlebotomy fee included in the price?
No, the £21 phlebotomy service fee is an independent handling charge added to base panel screening bills.

Will my results be sent securely?
Yes, final records transmit securely and confidentially directly to the specific email you submit.

Do I need a doctor’s referral for this profile?
No outside referral is necessary. You can book this test directly to monitor your metabolizing systems.

Can I eat and drink normally before the test?
Yes, you can consume standard meals and liquids normally before arriving for your phlebotomy session.

Most Searched Online Questions About Liver Function

What do high ALT levels mean?
Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) is concentrated within liver cells. Spikes or elevations show that cells are actively strained or damaged, leading them to release enzymes into your bloodstream.

What is the function of Albumin?
Albumin is the primary protein made by the liver. It prevents fluids from leaking out of blood vessels, nourishes tissues, and transports hormones and vitamins throughout the body.

What does high Bilirubin signify?
Bilirubin is a yellowish compound produced during the normal breakdown of red blood cells. High counts signal either clearance blocks, filtering strain, or accelerated cell recycling.

What is GGT used to detect?
Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) is an enzyme highly sensitive to bile duct changes. It helps identify bile line blockage, alcohol intake trends, or drug-related structural stress.

Can fatty liver show normal LFT values?
Yes, early-stage fatty liver changes can sometimes present with normal enzyme scores. Comprehensive evaluations should combine these markers with ultrasound or scan tracking if risks persist.
