General Information

Liver function test profile – a group of tests that provide information about the functional state of the liver. This test is used to assess the health of the organ, detect damage to it, and also monitor the condition of patients who have already been diagnosed with a liver disease.

The profile includes the following studies:

Alanine aminotransferase (ALT)და
Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) Are liver enzymes that are involved in the synthesis of various amino acids. The amount of these enzymes in the blood increases when the abnormal process damages the cells of the liver, skeleton or heart muscle.
Gamma Glutamine Transferase (GGT) Is the most sensitive enzyme in the liver. Its level in the blood increases with some diseases of the liver and digestive system. As well as while taking some medications.
Alkaline phosphatase It is an enzyme that is found in almost all tissues, mainly in the cells and bones of the liver and bile ducts, and is actively involved in biochemical processes. Increased alkaline phosphatase is caused by some diseases of the skeletal system, obstruction of the bile ducts, drug-induced liver diseases, liver cancer, thyroid and parathyroid gland damage.
Total bilirubin- A yellow pigment that is contained in bile. It is a product of the breakdown of hemoglobin and the so-called. Direct და Indirect bilirubin Represents the total amount. Total bilirubin is increased mainly at the expense of indirect bilirubin in hemolytic and pernicious anemias, transfusion reactions, cirrhosis of the liver, Gilbert's syndrome.
Albumin– A major serum protein produced in the liver. A decrease in the amount of albumin in the blood can be caused by malnutrition or malabsorption and liver or kidney disease.

When should we take the test?

To assess the functional state of the liver;
To detect liver damage. Liver damage can be caused by various medications, alcohol and liver diseases;
When a person has signs of liver disease, Eg jaundice, dark urine, light colored stools, nausea and vomiting, itching. It should be noted that in the early stages of the disease these symptoms do not always appear;
When a person has already been diagnosed with liver disease, liver function tests are periodically prescribed to assess the condition of the liver and the effectiveness of treatment;
For annual prophylactic examinations

Possible interpretation of the results

If the test reveals abnormalities, it may be necessary to use additional methods of diagnostics. For this, you must consult a specialist, who, taking into account the symptoms, will correctly select the appropriate examinations to make an accurate diagnostics.

Reference values

Research material: Venous bleeding.

It is necessary to take blood for analysis on an empty stomach (at least 12 hours after the last meal). Some medications can affect test results, so it is important to consult your doctor and get detailed instructions to prepare for the test.
