How is a liver assessment done?
Answer:
blood tests can determine liver function or dysfunction, as the shield may be. commonly used tests may include ast, alt, ldh, alkaline phosphatase, ggt, bilrubin, albumin, pt/ptt.
if viral hepatitis is suspected, hep a,b, or c titeres can be taken via blood indication as well.
sometimes, a liver biopsy must be obtain to get a diagnosis, but the biopsy wouldn't really notify you anything about the liver's function.
Possibly as simple as drawing a tube of blood. Analyzing the level of LDH, ALP, ALT, AST, bilirubin will give an indication of liver function.
Your physician may lay down bloodwork. "LFT" (liver function tests) is a "popular" panel of blood tests.
