Liver Function Test (LFT) in Dubai.
Liver function tests (LFTs) measure a panel of enzymes and proteins that together tell us how the liver is coping. The most common reason we order them in Dubai is suspected fatty liver disease (MASLD/NAFLD) — strongly linked to type 2 diabetes, obesity and high cholesterol, and increasingly diagnosed in our 30s and 40s population. We also use LFTs to screen anyone on long-term statins, methotrexate, anti-epileptics or anabolic steroids, and as part of every executive medical.
Blood tests, done properly.
Watch how longevity-grade bloods actually work at Aafiyah Care — drawn by a registered nurse at your home or our Business Bay clinic, then personally reviewed and explained by a British-trained GP. Not a PDF and a shrug. Real answers on your biomarkers, your risk, your next step.

Liver health screening.

Frequently asked questions
What does raised ALT mean?+
Mildly raised ALT (50–150) is most often fatty liver, alcohol or medication-related. Significantly raised ALT (>5x normal) needs urgent investigation for hepatitis, autoimmune disease or drug injury.
Can I drink alcohol before a liver function test?+
Avoid alcohol for at least 24–48 hours to avoid a transient enzyme rise — otherwise the test reflects last night, not your liver.
Are liver tests included in executive medicals?+
Yes — a full LFT is standard in our Aafiyah General Health Check alongside kidney function, lipids, HbA1c and 40+ other markers.
