LFT Test at Home
Understanding Your Liver's Health Story
Your liver is always working, cleaning toxins and keeping your body healthy. But how often do you think about how it's doing? A Liver Function Test (LFT) can tell you what's going on with your liver. With Seviyaar's home sample collection, you don't have to go to a lab or wait in line. We offer reliable testing at your home. Getting an LFT test at home lets you keep an eye on things like fatty liver, hepatitis, or jaundice without changing your daily plans. Whether you're dealing with a long-term problem or just want to stay healthy, testing at home is easy and accurate. Your liver is essential, and checking on it is now as simple as m
What Makes Home-Based LFT Different
Going to the lab usually means missing work, driving all over, and waiting forever. Seviyaar fixes all that by sending certified blood-drawing personnel to you. Our at-home liver test is just as good as the ones you get at the hospital, but way easier.
You pick a time that works for you – early, late, or even on the weekend. We’ll pick up your sample from your place and keep things clean. Some folks get stressed out at the doctor’s office, which can mess up test results. At home, you’re chill, so things usually go smoother. Plus, you don’t have to hang out at the hospital, which is excellent for older people or anyone who has trouble getting around. Seviyaar makes sure getting good healthcare is easy and doesn’t stress you out.
Why Regular Liver Monitoring Matters
Your liver works hard, doing over 500 important jobs every day. The bad thing is, liver problems often don’t show up until there’s real damage. Getting your liver checked regularly can help find issues early, when they’re easier to fix.
If you drink often, take a lot of meds, or have diabetes, your liver is working extra hard. A liver function test (LFT) can spot high enzyme levels, bilirubin levels, and protein issues that mean your liver is in trouble. Finding things like fatty liver disease early can even reverse the damage just by changing your habits.
If liver problems run in your family, getting checked regularly is an excellent idea. Even if you feel fine, getting an LFT every year is like a checkup to keep things running smoothly. Think of it as keeping your hardest-working body part in good shape. With Seviyaar’s easy at-home testing, there’s no reason to wait to get it checked.

Understanding Your LFT Report Numbers
Liver function test (LFT) reports can seem tricky at first. The test checks for enzymes such as ALT, AST, ALP, and GGT. If liver cells get damaged, these enzymes end up in your blood. Bilirubin shows how well your liver removes waste. If bilirubin is high, it can cause jaundice. Albumin and total protein indicate whether your liver is making enough essential proteins. The ALT/AST ratio can help doctors figure out what’s wrong with your liver.
Normal ranges can differ a bit from lab to lab, but a doctor should check out significant changes. Seviyaar’s reports show apparent reference ranges right next to your results. Many people like that our reports point out values that are outside the norm, so it’s easy to see any problems. Don’t try to figure out what’s wrong yourself just by looking at the numbers. It’s always best to talk to a doctor. They can understand the results based on your health, symptoms, and past medical records.
What's Measured in Your LFT:
- Enzyme Levels (ALT, AST, ALP): These enzymes normally stay inside liver cells but leak into bloodstream when liver tissue gets damaged. Elevated levels indicate liver inflammation, infection, or injury requiring further investigation.
- Bilirubin Assessment: Measures the yellow pigment produced when red blood cells break down. High bilirubin causes jaundice and suggests problems with liver function or bile duct blockages that need attention.
- Protein Production: Tests albumin and total protein levels to check if your liver manufactures enough proteins. Low levels may indicate chronic liver disease, malnutrition, or other serious conditions.
- Enzyme Ratios: Comparing different enzyme levels helps doctors identify specific liver conditions. The AST/ALT ratio particularly helps distinguish between different types of liver damage and disease progression.
Preparing for Your Home LFT
For most Liver Function Tests (LFTs), you’ll need to fast for 8-12 hours beforehand, so skip the food before your blood draw. Water is usually okay, and it’s even a good idea to drink up to stay hydrated. Try to book your test first thing in the morning, that way the fasting won’t mess up your whole day.
Lay off the alcohol for at least a day before the test; it can throw off the results. Let the person drawing your blood know about any medicines you’re on, but generally, you shouldn’t stop taking anything your doctor prescribed.
Wear something comfy with sleeves you can easily roll up so they reach your arm. If needles make you anxious, bring a family member with you. It often makes things easier.
If you have any past LFT results, keep them handy. Comparing them can tell you a lot. If you’re bringing a child in for a test, they can have a small snack if they can’t go that long without food. Patients with diabetes should talk to their doctor about how to handle fasting and medication timing to avoid any blood sugar problems during the test.

Who Should Get Regular LFT Tests
Some people should check their liver more than others. If you drink regularly, even if it’s not a lot, get your liver checked every six months. If you’re on meds for a long time, like statins or painkillers, get tested too, because many drugs can hurt your liver.
If you have diabetes or obesity, your chance of fatty liver goes way up, so get tested every year. If you’ve had hepatitis B or C, keep getting checked to see how your liver is doing. If liver issues run in your family, you’re at higher risk. People who work with stuff like chemicals should also get checked regularly.
Pregnant women can sometimes get a liver condition called cholestasis, so they need monitoring. If you’re tired for no reason, have stomach pain, or your skin turns yellow, get checked right away.
