Hepatic Function Panel
Liver Function Blood Test Panel for ALT, AST, Bilirubin, Albumin and Protein Screening
The Hepatic Function Panel, also called a Liver Function Panel or LFT, is a blood test panel used to help screen liver-related markers.
This panel measures enzymes, proteins, and bilirubin levels that may provide information about liver health, bile flow, inflammation, medication effects, and provider-directed liver monitoring.
This service provides access to lab testing only. It is intended as a screening and monitoring tool and does not diagnose, treat, or replace care from a licensed healthcare provider.
✔ Checks key liver function markers
✔ Includes ALT, AST, ALP, bilirubin, albumin and total protein
✔ Useful for liver health and medication monitoring discussions
✔ Doctor's order included
✔ No insurance required
⏱ Typical turnaround: results are usually emailed in 1–3 days.
What This Panel Includes
Hepatic Function Markers
- Alanine Aminotransferase, ALT / SGPT
- Aspartate Aminotransferase, AST / SGOT
- Alkaline Phosphatase, ALP
- Total Bilirubin
- Direct Bilirubin
- Albumin
- Total Protein
ALT and AST
ALT and AST are enzymes that may rise when liver cells or other tissues are injured or inflamed.
ALT is often considered more liver-specific than AST, while AST can also be found in other tissues such as muscle.
Alkaline Phosphatase
Alkaline Phosphatase, or ALP, may be reviewed in relation to bile flow, liver and gallbladder concerns, or bone-related conditions.
ALP should be interpreted with other liver markers, symptoms, and medical history.
Bilirubin
Bilirubin is a waste product made when the body breaks down red blood cells. The liver helps process bilirubin.
- Total Bilirubin measures overall bilirubin.
- Direct Bilirubin measures the conjugated form that has been processed by the liver.
Elevated bilirubin may be associated with liver, bile duct, gallbladder, or red blood cell breakdown concerns.
Albumin and Total Protein
Albumin and Total Protein help evaluate proteins made or processed by the body. Albumin is made by the liver and may provide information about nutrition, liver function, inflammation, kidney loss, hydration, or other health factors.
Why Order a Hepatic Function Panel?
- Liver health screening - Helps review common liver enzymes and liver-related markers.
- Medication monitoring - May be used when medications could affect the liver.
- Alcohol or toxin exposure concerns - May support provider-directed review of liver markers.
- Hepatitis or liver disease monitoring - May be used as part of a broader liver evaluation.
- Abdominal symptoms or jaundice - May help support provider-directed evaluation.
- Provider-directed testing - Useful when your healthcare provider specifically requests a hepatic function panel.
Who May Consider This Test?
This panel may be appropriate for:
- Individuals whose healthcare provider requested liver function testing
- People monitoring liver markers while taking certain medications
- Individuals with a history of liver enzyme elevation
- People with hepatitis, fatty liver, alcohol-related concerns, or other provider-monitored liver concerns
- Individuals with symptoms such as jaundice, dark urine, light stools, nausea, fatigue, or abdominal discomfort
- Customers who want doctor-ordered liver testing without using insurance
Important Symptom Warning
If you have yellowing of the skin or eyes, severe abdominal pain, confusion, vomiting blood, black stools, severe weakness, fainting, chest pain, trouble breathing, or any urgent medical concern, seek medical care promptly.
Do not use this hepatic function panel as a substitute for urgent medical evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment.
Important: Screening Only
LabReqs and SchoolTiters provide access to lab testing. We do not diagnose liver disease, hepatitis, cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, gallbladder disease, bile duct obstruction, medication injury, or any medical condition.
Results should be reviewed with a licensed healthcare provider, especially if symptoms are present, results are abnormal, or you take medications that may affect the liver.
Important Limitations
- This panel does not diagnose a medical condition by itself.
- Abnormal liver markers may have many possible causes.
- Normal results do not rule out every liver or gallbladder condition.
- This panel does not include GGT, hepatitis testing, INR/PT, CBC, platelet count, FibroSure, ultrasound, or imaging unless ordered separately.
- Results should be interpreted with symptoms, medications, alcohol use, supplements, medical history, and other lab results.
Before Ordering
- Tell your healthcare provider about medications, supplements, alcohol use, and liver-related history.
- Do not stop prescription medications unless your healthcare provider tells you to.
- If your provider requested a full liver workup, confirm whether additional tests such as GGT, hepatitis panel, INR, or imaging are needed.
- If you are unsure whether this is the correct liver test, ask your healthcare provider before ordering.
