    Liver function tests measure enzymes and proteins in the blood to evaluate how well the liver is working and identify possible liver damage or disease. The tests examine alkaline phosphatase, alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, albumin, bilirubin, gamma-glutamyl transferase, L-lactate dehydrogenase, prothrombin time, and total protein levels. Abnormal results do not always indicate liver disease but can help screen and monitor conditions like hepatitis, detect potential drug side effects, and check for developing illness. Reference ranges provided help interpret individual test results.

    Liver Function Test

    We have an important Blood test called liver function tests or "Liver


    Enzymes" that are used to monitor and assist identify liver damage or
    illness. The tests check the amounts of specific proteins and enzymes in
    your blood. And some of these tests assess how effectively the liver is
    doing its typical tasks as we know before, which include making protein
    and getting rid of the blood waste product bilirubin. Other liver health
    tests examine the enzymes the liver cells produce in response to injury
    .or illness
    Results of abnormal liver function tests do not always signify liver
    disease as we'll know in the next part of our presentation
    And we can use it to do screening for liver infections like hepatitis;
    monitor the development of disease; check for potential drug adverse
    .effects
    Here, we'll support your understanding of this study's interpretation by
    .letting you know its parameters, average ranges, and relevant indicators
    Alanine transaminase (ALT). An enzyme called ALT and SGOT is present
    in the liver and aid in converting proteins into energy for the liver cells.
    ALT levels rise in the bloodstream when the liver is harmed
    Aspartate transaminase (AST). An enzyme called AST and SGET aids in
    the metabolism of amino acids. Similar to ALT, AST is often seen in blood
    at low concentrations. Increased AST levels might be a sign of illness,
    .liver damage, or even muscle injury
    Alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Is a protein-degrading enzyme that is
    present in the liver and bones. ALP levels that are higher than usual may
    .be a sign of bone illnesses or liver disease, such as a blocked bile duct
    Albumin and Total protein. One of the proteins produced by the liver is
    albumin. These proteins are required by your body to combat infections
    and carry out other tasks. Albumin and total protein levels that are
    .below normal might be a sign of liver illness or injury
    Bilirubin. A chemical called bilirubin is created when red blood cells
    naturally degrade. The liver processes bilirubin, which is then eliminated
    in feces. Jaundice, or elevated bilirubin levels, may be a sign of liver
    .illness, injury, or certain anemias
    Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT). Its enzyme is secreted in the
    bloodstream and Levels that are higher than usual might be a sign of bile
    .duct or liver disease
    L-lactate dehydrogenase (LD). It's also an enzyme and elevated amounts
    .can be seen in many other illnesses as well as liver injury, though

    Prothrombin time (PT). It's the time it takes for your blood to clot.
    Increased PT may be a sign of liver damage, but it can also occur when
    .you use certain blood-thinning drugs, such as warfarin
    :Results: Normal blood test results for typical liver function tests include
    ALT: 7 to 55 units per liter (U/L)
    AST: 8 to 48 U/L
    ALP: 40 to 129 U/L
    Albumin: 3.5 to 5.0 grams per deciliter (g/dL)
    Total protein: 6.3 to 7.9 g/dL
    Bilirubin: 0.1 to 1.2 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL)
    GGT: 8 to 61 U/L
    LD: 122 to 222 U/L
    PT: 9.4 to 12.5 seconds
    For mature men, these findings are normal. Normal outcomes range
    from lab to test and may be somewhat different for females and
    .children
