Fasting is not always required for liver function tests (LFTs). LFTs typically measure levels of various enzymes and proteins in the blood, including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bilirubin, and albumin. These tests can generally be performed without fasting.
However, there are a few considerations:
Lipid Levels: If your liver function test panel includes lipid levels (like cholesterol or triglycerides), fasting may be required as lipid levels can be affected by recent food intake.
