A Liver Function Blood Test is a critical diagnostic test performed by healthcare professionals to assess the health and performance of the liver. This test measures a variety of enzymes, proteins, and substances produced or processed by the liver, including ALT, AST, ALP, bilirubin, and albumin. Each of these components provides information about various aspects of liver function, which aids in the detection of any anomalies or signs of liver damage. Elevated enzyme levels can suggest liver inflammation or injury, whereas abnormal bilirubin levels may indicate problems with bile flow or liver processing activities.
A Liver Function Blood Test can aid in the diagnosis of a range of liver-related conditions, including hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. Detecting these abnormalities early allows doctors to begin appropriate treatment regimens, minimizing future damage and improving patient outcomes. Furthermore, this test is important for monitoring people who are presently undergoing treatment for liver disorders since it provides feedback on how well the treatment is working and whether any changes are needed.
What does it test for?
-
Bilirubin: A substance formed when red blood cells break down. High levels might indicate liver issues or jaundice.
-
Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT): An enzyme mainly in the liver. High levels can suggest liver damage.
-
Gamma-Glutamyltransferase (GGT): An enzyme that increases with liver disease or excessive alcohol use.
-
Albumin: A liver-produced protein important for fluid balance. Low levels might indicate liver problems.
-
Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP): An enzyme in the liver and bones. High levels can signal liver or bone issues.
-
Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST): An enzyme found in the liver and heart. Elevated levels can point to liver or heart problems.
-
Total Protein: Measures all blood proteins, indicating nutritional status and organ function.
-
Globulin: Proteins involved in immunity and clotting. Abnormal levels can suggest liver or immune issues.
