Answer 5

Liver function tests are blood tests used to help diagnose and monitor liver disease or damage. It's also called a liver panel. 

The tests measure the levels of certain enzymes and proteins in your blood.

• Albumin, a protein that the liver makes
• Total protein (TP)
• Enzymes that are found in the liver, including alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT)
• Bilirubin, a yellow substance that is part of bile. It is formed when your red blood cells break down. Too much bilirubin in the blood can cause jaundice. There is also a urine test for bilirubin.
• Prothrombin time, which measures how long it takes for your blood to clot. Prothrombin is made by the liver.

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. 45 to 115 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. 9 to 48 U/L
• LD. 122 to 222 U/L
• PT. 9.5 to 13.8 seconds

These results are typical for adult men. Normal results vary from laboratory to laboratory and might be slightly different for women and children.
