Liver Function Panel
Tests that assess liver health by measuring enzymes, proteins, and bilirubin levels.
Purpose
The liver function panel evaluates how well your liver is working and whether there is any damage or inflammation. It helps detect liver diseases like hepatitis, fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, and monitors the effects of medications that may affect the liver.
When to Order
Recommended if you have symptoms of liver disease, take medications that can affect the liver, drink alcohol regularly, have obesity or diabetes (risk factors for fatty liver), or have a history of liver disease.
Preparation Instructions
No fasting is required, though some doctors prefer fasting for consistency. Avoid alcohol for 24-48 hours before the test. Some medications may need to be held - consult your doctor.
