Liver Tests

CT/MRI Abdomen

CT or MRI Abdomen provides detailed cross-sectional images of the abdominal organs to detect tumors, infections, inflammation, injuries, or abnormalities in the liver, kidneys, pancreas, intestines, and other structures.

⁠Fibroscan

FibroScan is a non-invasive test that measures liver stiffness to assess fibrosis and fatty liver disease. It helps detect early liver damage without the need for a biopsy.

⁠Ultrasound Abdomen

Ultrasound Abdomen is a safe, non-invasive imaging test that uses sound waves to visualize the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, pancreas, spleen, and other abdominal organs. It helps detect stones, tumors, infections, and organ abnormalities.

AFP (Alpha-Fetoprotein)

AFP (Alpha-Fetoprotein) is a blood test used to detect liver cancer, especially hepatocellular carcinoma, and to monitor chronic liver disease. It may also be used in pregnancy screening and for germ cell tumors.

⁠Serum Ammonia

Serum Ammonia measures the level of ammonia in the blood. Elevated levels may indicate liver dysfunction, especially in conditions like hepatic encephalopathy, where the liver cannot properly filter toxins.

⁠Prothrombin Time (PT/INR)

Prothrombin Time (PT/INR) measures how long it takes blood to clot. It helps assess blood clotting disorders, monitor anticoagulant therapy, and evaluate liver function, since many clotting factors are made in the liver.

⁠HAV/HEV IgM

HAV IgM and HEV IgM are blood tests used to detect recent or active infections of Hepatitis A and Hepatitis E. Positive results indicate an acute viral hepatitis caused by these viruses, often through contaminated food or water.

Anti-HCV

Anti-HCV is a blood test used to detect antibodies against the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). A positive result indicates past or current infection and requires further testing to confirm active disease.

⁠HBsAg

HBsAg is a blood test used to detect Hepatitis B infection. A positive result means the person is infected and can transmit the virus to others.


Gamma GT (GGT)

Gamma GT (GGT) is a liver enzyme that helps detect bile duct obstruction, alcohol-related liver damage, and early liver disease. Elevated GGT levels often indicate liver dysfunction or excessive alcohol use.

Total Protein & Albumin

Total Protein and Albumin tests evaluate the levels of key blood proteins. They help assess liver function, kidney health, and nutritional status, with low levels indicating liver disease, malnutrition, or chronic illness.

⁠SGOT (AST)

SGOT (AST) is a liver enzyme that helps detect liver cell damage. Elevated levels may indicate hepatitis, liver inflammation, or cirrhosis, especially when assessed alongside SGPT (ALT).

SGPT (ALT)

SGPT (ALT) is a key liver enzyme used to assess liver health. Elevated levels often indicate liver cell damage due to hepatitis, fatty liver, alcohol use, or medications.

Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)

ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase) is an enzyme found in the liver, bones, and bile ducts. Elevated levels may indicate liver disease, bile duct obstruction, or bone disorders.

⁠Total & Direct Bilirubin

Total and Direct Bilirubin tests measure the levels of bilirubin in the blood. Elevated levels may indicate liver dysfunction, bile duct blockage, or red blood cell breakdown disorders such as jaundice.
