Global Liver Function Tests Market: Rising Cases of Liver Diseases to be Biggest Driver

Liver function tests (LFT) are blood tests that are used to assess the state of liver and biliary system. The liver processes and filters the blood as it circulates through the body. It performs many vital functions that include preparing blood clotting proteins, metabolization of nutrients, and detoxification of harmful substances. The cells in the liver contain enzymes that are responsible for carrying out the chemical reactions. When liver cells are damaged or get destroyed the enzymes in the cells leak out into the blood, where they can be analyzed by performing liver function tests. Liver function tests evaluate two main liver enzymes in the blood namely; Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and Alanine aminotransferase (ALT).

Liver function tests analyzes various parameters in the blood that include:

-Albumin
-Alanine aminotransferase
-Aspartate aminotransferase
-Transaminases
-Alkaline phosphatase
-Bilirubin
-Gamma glutamyl transpeptidase
-Prothrombin time

Liver function tests are one of the most commonly demanded screening blood tests. Whether for monitoring of disease activity, investigation of suspected liver disease, or simple blood routine analysis, these tests offer a host of information on variety of disease processes.Liver function tests also help healthcare professionals to distinguish different types of liver disorders, detect the presence of liver disease, gauge the extent of known liver damage, and follow the response to treatment.

Liver diseases represent a huge problem for the health care professionals, the diagnostic methods in hepatology are an important field for research and the development. Major challenge associated with chronic liver disease is the inability to detect the disease at early stage. Liver diseases affects huge number of individuals, according to the estimates of WHO, around 350 million people are chronically affected by hepatitis B. The rising incidence of hepatitis B and other liver diseases is expected to augment the market for liver function tests.

Also, due to the high adoption rate of advance medical and therapeutic equipments and highly developing healthcare industry, these regions are anticipated to be the potential market in the near future.

However, Asia Pacific market is also growing at a very positive rate due to the growing healthcare facilities, rising prevalence of chronic diseases, encouraging reimbursement schemes and high adoption rate of precise medical instruments. Moreover, according to WHO, the prevalence of hepatitis C is proportionately high in Asia Pacific that would further boost the market for liver function tests in this region.
