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.
Blood tests can usually detect evidence of liver damage before symptoms develop. When a medication known to possibly cause liver damage is used, your physician may recommend that blood tests be checked periodically after starting the medication so that any evidence of liver damage can be detected before symptoms appear.nother common group of medications that can affect the liver tests are the cholesterol lowering medications commonly known as âstatinsâ; a group that includes many of the currently prescribed medications to lower cholesterol.
