Liver function tests (also known as a liver panel) are blood tests that measure different enzymes, proteins, and other substances made by the liver. These tests check the overall health of your liver. The different substances are often tested at the same time on a single blood sample, and may include the following:
- Albumin
- Total protein
- ALP
- GGT
- ALT
- AST and
- Bilirubin levels
If levels of one or more of these substances are outside of the normal range, it may be a sign of liver disease.
Other names: liver panel, liver function panel, liver profile hepatic function panel, LFT.
