The tests (called a liver panel) measure: 1  your level of liver enzymes (see next section) 2  your level of bilirubin (pronounced billy-roo-bin), which rises when the liver is not working well. 3  a protein called albumin (pronounced al-byoo-min), whose levels go down when the liver is damaged.
An initial step in detecting liver damage is a simple blood test to determine the presence of certain liver enzymes in the blood. Under normal circumstances, these enzymes reside within the cells of the liver. But when the liver is injured, these enzymes are spilled into the blood stream, raising the enzyme levels in the blood and signaling liver damage.
