The ALT and AST tests measure enzymes that your liver releases in response to damage or disease. The albumin and bilirubin tests measure how well the liver creates albumin, a protein, and how well it disposes of bilirubin, a waste product of the blood. Abnormal results on any of the liver function tests donât necessarily mean you have liver disease or damage.
