Electrolytes and Liver Function Test (ELFT)

Check your kidney and liver health with our ELFT Blood Test. This test looks at key electrolytes that control fluid balance, plus enzymes and proteins that show how well your liver is working. It may help assess tiredness, digestion problems, medication effects, or overall organ health.

Early Detection

Experiencing fatigue, concerned about liver health, or dehydration symptoms and want assessment of your metabolic and liver function with electrolyte balance?

Overview

The ELFT test is like having a comprehensive check-up for your body's internal chemistry lab and one of its most important organs – your liver. This test measures essential minerals called electrolytes (think of them as your body's electrical conductors that keep your heart beating and muscles working) along with special proteins called liver enzymes that show how well your liver is functioning. Just as you might check both the oil and engine performance in your car, this test examines both the chemical balance that keeps your cells running smoothly and the health of your liver, which works like your body's main filtration and processing center.

When your electrolytes are out of balance, you might feel tired, weak, or experience muscle cramps – similar to how electronic devices malfunction when their batteries run low. Meanwhile, elevated liver enzymes can signal that your liver is under stress or potentially damaged, much like warning lights on your car's dashboard. This test is particularly valuable if you're experiencing unexplained fatigue, have a history of liver problems, take medications that might affect your liver, or if your doctor wants to investigate symptoms like persistent tiredness or abdominal discomfort. By getting a clear picture of both your metabolic balance and liver health in one comprehensive test, you and your healthcare provider can better understand what's happening inside your body and take appropriate steps to optimize your overall wellness.
