LFT Price in Bangladesh 2026

If you have yellow eyes, dark urine, constant tiredness, or your doctor wants to check your liver before a surgery or medicine, you will be asked for a liver function test, usually called LFT. The price changes a lot from one center to another, partly because labs include different tests in the panel. Based on the lists we checked, the LFT price in Bangladesh runs from about 270 BDT at NILMRC to about 1,600 BDT at some private centers, and most private centers list 1,000 BDT. This guide shows the prices we found, what an LFT includes, how to prepare, and how to avoid paying more than you need to.

Last checked: 2 November 2026. These prices come from the sources shown in the table, because most centers do not publish a full rate list online. Rates differ by branch and change often, so confirm the exact price with the center before you visit.

Cheapest and Most Expensive LFT

The lowest listed price is 270 BDT at NILMRC. Ibn Sina lists 750 BDT after its 25% discount, and an online booking through Arogga shows 800 BDT after a 20% discount on a 1,000 BDT price. Another page for the same Arogga test shows 880 BDT with home collection and a 12-hour report time (source), so confirm which price applies to you. Several private centers list 1,000 BDT, including ICDDR,B (on its own website), Popular, Bangladesh Specialized Hospital, Aalok and Evercare Hospital Chattogram. The highest price in our table is 1,600 BDT at LabAid. A 2025 list showed 1,800 BDT for LabAid (source), so the price may have changed since.

Prices We Could Not Confirm

Most prices come from third-party lists, so please call to confirm before you go. Only ICDDR,B (1,000 BDT) comes from the center own website. Epic Health Care in Chattogram lists LFT at 3,200 BDT in October 2026 (source), far above the others. This may be a larger panel, so ask exactly what is included before you pay. One blog reports 1,150 BDT at Ibrahim Cardiac (BIRDEM), but we could not check it, so we have not used it. For context, a 2020 DGHS price chart for COVID-19-related tests listed LFT at 1,000 BDT with an allowed range of 950 to 1,600 BDT (source). That chart no longer applies, but it shows 1,000 BDT has been a common price for years.

What Is an LFT Test?

LFT stands for liver function test. It is a group of blood tests that show how well your liver is working and whether it is damaged. At ICDDR,B, for example, a basic LFT includes bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT) (source). Some labs add albumin, total protein or GGT, and a more detailed panel costs more (source). This is why the price differs between centers, so always ask which tests are included.

What Do the LFT Results Show?

SGPT (ALT) and SGOT (AST): enzymes that rise when liver cells are irritated or damaged, for example in hepatitis or fatty liver.
ALP (and GGT, if included): often rise when the bile ducts are blocked or inflamed. ALP can also come from bone.
Bilirubin: a yellow pigment. High levels cause jaundice.
Albumin and total protein (if included): show how well the liver makes proteins.

Reference ranges differ between labs. A single abnormal value is not a diagnosis, and your doctor will read the whole panel with your symptoms and other tests.

Why Do Doctors Order an LFT?

Yellow eyes or skin (jaundice), dark urine or pale stool
Stomach pain on the upper right side, nausea, loss of appetite or constant tiredness
Suspected hepatitis B or C, fatty liver or alcohol-related liver disease
Monitoring medicines that can affect the liver, such as some tuberculosis medicines
Before surgery, before some visas and medical checkups for abroad, and in routine health checkups
Following up a known liver condition

It is often ordered with a CBC test, a Anti HCV test or a general blood test.

How to Prepare for an LFT

Ask about fasting. ICDDR,B states that no preparation is needed, while another listing marks fasting as required. Confirm with the center, especially if the LFT is bundled with other tests.
Tell the technician and your doctor about all medicines, herbal products and supplements, because many of them can change liver test results.
Avoid alcohol before the test, as your doctor advises.
Bring your prescription and previous reports.
Wear a loose sleeve so the blood can be drawn easily.

Factors That Affect the LFT Price

Which tests are in the panel: A basic panel costs less than one that adds GGT, albumin or extra markers.
Type of center: Government institutes charge far less than private centers.
Online booking offers and discounts: Some platforms and centers, such as Ibn Sina, show a discount.
Home collection and report time: Home pickup and urgent reports can add a fee.
Packages: A liver or health checkup package may include LFT at a lower combined price.
City and branch: Prices differ by branch even within one chain.

Tips to Save Money on an LFT

Ask exactly which tests are included before comparing prices.
Compare two or three centers. The gap can be more than 1,000 BDT.
Consider NILMRC if you can accept queues and shorter opening hours.
Check for online booking discounts before you pay at the counter.
Ask about package prices if your doctor also wants a CBC, hepatitis or other tests.
Keep your reports so your doctor can follow the trend and you avoid repeats.
