A liver panel (LFT) — 7 tests that evaluate your liver's health and function, detecting damage, disease, and bile-flow issues. The Liver Function Panel (also called a liver panel, liver profile, hepatic panel, or LFT) includes 7 tests that comprehensively evaluate liver health. It measures enzymes released when liver cells are damaged (AST, ALT, ALP), proteins made by the liver (albumin, total protein), bilirubin (a bile pigment), and GGT. This panel can detect liver disease, hepatitis, fatty liver, bile duct problems, and medication side effects. **Clinical use:** 7 liver-function tests (ALT, AST, ALP, albumin, total protein, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin) — the standard workup for liver health, hepatitis screening, and medication monitoring. ## Who should order it? Anyone monitoring statin or alcohol-related liver impact, evaluating fatigue with suspected liver involvement, screening for fatty liver or hepatitis, or on medications metabolized by the liver (acetaminophen, antifungals, anti-seizure drugs). ## Biomarkers measured - [AST](https://www.test-well.com/biomarkers/ast) - [ALT](https://www.test-well.com/biomarkers/alt) - [ALP](https://www.test-well.com/biomarkers/alkaline-phosphatase) - [Total Bilirubin](https://www.test-well.com/biomarkers/bilirubin) - [Direct Bilirubin](https://www.test-well.com/biomarkers/direct-bilirubin) - [Albumin](https://www.test-well.com/biomarkers/albumin) - [Total Protein](https://www.test-well.com/biomarkers/total-protein) ## Price by lab | Lab | Test price | All-in (with $6 fee) | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Quest Diagnostics | $19.99 | $25.99 | Choose at checkout; walk-in patient service centers nationwide (not NY/NJ) | | Labcorp | $20.99 | $26.99 | Choose at checkout; walk-in patient service centers nationwide (not NY/NJ) | | BioReference (NY & NJ) | $22.99 | $28.99 | New York and New Jersey orders route here automatically | Rhode Island is not served.

Both cover liver enzymes. The [CMP](https://www.test-well.com/tests/comprehensive-metabolic-panel) bundles 6 metabolic tests (glucose, kidney, electrolytes) alongside the liver markers — only ~$5 more. Order the standalone Liver Function Panel only if you specifically don't need kidney/electrolyte readings. ### How much does a Liver Function Panel cost without insurance? TestWell charges $19.99 — vs $29 at Quest Direct and $80-$180 at hospital outpatient labs. Quest or Labcorp lab, same-day or next-day results. ### Do I need to fast? Yes — 8-12 hours of fasting (water only) for the most accurate ALT/AST/ALP readings. Fasting also makes results comparable across multiple draws. ### What's the CPT code for a Liver Function Panel? 80076 (Hepatic Function Panel). HSA/FSA eligible. ### What do high ALT/AST mean? Mildly elevated ALT/AST (1-3× normal): often fatty liver, alcohol, or medication. >5× normal: acute hepatitis, drug-induced injury, autoimmune liver disease — see a clinician promptly. Pair with [Hepatitis Panel](https://www.test-well.com/tests/hepatitis-panel) to rule out viral causes. ### How often should I monitor liver function? Annually if you take statins or have NAFLD risk factors. Every 3-6 months when starting a new liver-metabolized medication. ## How to order 1.
