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.
Liver function tests check the levels of certain enzymes and proteins in your blood. Levels that are higher or lower than normal can indicate liver problems. Some common liver function tests include: 1  Alanine transaminase (ALT). 2  ALT is an enzyme found in the liver that helps your body metabolize protein. 3  When the liver is damaged, ALT is released into the bloodstream and levels increase.
