There are a number of liver function tests, with lots of complex names. Alanine transaminase (ALT) test. ALT is an enzyme that helps break down proteins and is found mainly in your liver. High levels in your blood could mean you have liver damage. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) test. ALP is an enzyme you have in your liver, bile ducts, and bone. You might have high levels if you have liver damage or disease, a blocked bile duct, or bone disease. Albumin and total protein test.
What are liver function tests? A liver function test (LFT) is a blood test that gives an indication of whether the liver is functioning properly. The test is also very useful to see if there is active damage in the liver (hepatitis) or sluggish bile flow (cholestasis). Liver function tests measure the amount of particular chemicals in the blood. This gives a gauge of possible damage to liver cells â damage that can be caused by many things including HCV.
