Fatty Liver Index Test

With the increasing prevalence of liver diseases, understanding your liver’s condition has become critical. This test is particularly important for individuals who may be at risk due to lifestyle factors such as obesity, diabetes, or excessive alcohol consumption.
What the Test Measures
The Fatty Liver Index Test measures two key components:
- GGTP (Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase): An enzyme that indicates liver function and can signal liver damage or disease.
- Triglycerides: Elevated levels can indicate fat accumulation in the liver, a precursor to fatty liver disease.

This test is recommended for individuals who:
- Exhibit symptoms such as fatigue, weight loss, or abdominal discomfort.
- Have risk factors including obesity, diabetes, or a family history of liver disease.

- Early detection of liver issues, allowing for timely intervention.
- Helps in monitoring the effectiveness of lifestyle changes or treatments.
- Provides peace of mind regarding liver health.
