Do I need to fast before a liver function test?

Most liver enzyme tests , ALT, AST, ALP, GGT , do not require strict fasting. However, fasting for 8 hours is commonly recommended for the most consistent results, particularly if the test is part of a broader metabolic panel. Confirm fasting requirements with your doctor or the lab when booking.

What is the normal range for liver enzyme tests?

Normal ALT (SGPT): 7 to 56 U/L; AST (SGOT): 10 to 40 U/L; ALP: 44 to 147 U/L; GGT: 8 to 61 U/L for men and 5 to 36 U/L for women; total bilirubin: 0.1 to 1.2 mg/dL. These ranges may vary slightly by laboratory and age group. Your gastroenterologist will explain what your specific values indicate and whether any follow-up investigation or treatment is needed.

Can alcohol or medication cause an abnormal liver test result?

Yes. Alcohol consumed within 24 hours of the test can temporarily elevate GGT and ALT. Medications including paracetamol (especially in high doses), statins, anti-TB drugs, anticonvulsants, and certain herbal supplements can raise liver enzyme levels. Always inform your doctor of all substances you are taking before the test so results can be interpreted in context.
