Hepatic function tests (liver function tests) screen for liver injury, evaluate synthetic capacity, and monitor disease progression, using key markers like ALT, albumin, and bilirubin. Despite their name, most components measure cellular damage or biliary tract issues rather than direct organ function.

The panel contains ALT, AST, Total Bilirubin, Direct (Conjugated) Bilirubin, ALP Gamma Glutaryltransferase (GGT), Albumin, Globulins, Albumin/Globulin Ratio and Total Protein.

Results are reported in conventional units (U/L, g/dL or mg/dL)
