Liver blood tests are some of the most commonly performed blood tests. These tests can be used to assess liver functions or liver injury. An initial step in detecting liver damage is a simple blood test to determine the level of certain liver enzymes (proteins) in the blood.

Liver function tests are blood tests that help your doctor determine how well your liver is functioning and whether there are any signs of injury, infection or disease in your liver.
