Hi, I'm not entirely sure of the details, but an LFTS is a liver function test, so I think that maybe ELFTS has something to do with the functioning of the liver too. Hope this helps a little.

FBE- Full blood examination. Tests the amount of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets etc in the blood. Assesses any high or low values. ELFTs - Liver function test and electroloyte teset. LFT tests enzymes in the liver to determine liver damage or disease. Electrolytes tested to assess for imbalances of sodium, potassium, chloride. An imbalances usually means a kidney problem. ESR- Erythrocyte (Red Blood Cell RBC) Sedimentation rate - tests for inflammation in the body. RBCs usually fall slowly in a test tube. In the presence of inflammatory proteins they fall faster. Inflammation may mean you have an infection. CRP- c reactive protrein- this protein is made in the liver and is one of the inflammatory proteins discussed earlier. A high level of these means inflammation in the body = infection or arthritis. A really helpful website is www.labtestsonline.org.au Hope this helps
