Shedding Light on Your Liver Health: Liver Function Tests
Liver function tests, a simple blood draw, offer valuable insights into your liver’s health. These tests measure various substances your liver produces, including:
- Bilirubin: a waste product the liver eliminates.
- Proteins: including albumin, a key protein made by the liver, and globulins involved in immune function.
- Enzymes: like ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, and LDH, which rise when the liver is injured or stressed.
- Prothrombin time (PT): assesses blood clotting function, which the liver plays a role in.
Beyond the Basics
