Guest guest Posted August 26, 2001 Report Share Posted August 26, 2001 The liver panel tests you are probably looking for are SGOT and SGPT. Now, I need some information. Can anyone give me information on a revision? I want to know what needs to be done to have one and that type of thing. Any help is appreciated.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Hi guys. I edited this only with formatting. Liver Panel A liver panel, also known as liver (hepatic) function tests or LFT, is used to detect liver damage or disease. It usually includes seven tests that are run at the same time on a blood sample. These include: Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) – an enzyme mainly found in the liver; the best test for detecting hepatitis Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) – an enzyme related to the bile ducts; often increased when they are blocked Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) – an enzyme found in the liver and a few other places, particularly the heart and other muscles in the body Bilirubin – two different tests of bilirubin often used together (especially if a person has jaundice): total bilirubin measures all the bilirubin in the blood; direct bilirubin measures a form made in the liver Albumin – measures the main protein made by the liver and tells how well the liver is making this protein Total Protein - measures albumin and all other proteins in blood, including antibodies made to help fight off infections These and other tests may be included in the liver panel. Other tests that could be requested as part of the panel are gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), lactic acid dehydrogenase (LDH), and prothrombin time. When are these tests ordered? One or more of these tests are ordered when symptoms suspicious of a liver condition are noticed. These include: jaundice, dark urine, or light-colored bowel movements; nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea; loss of appetite; vomiting of blood; bloody or black bowel movements; swelling or pain in the belly; unusual weight change; or fatigue or loss of stamina. One or more of these tests may also be ordered when a person has been or may have been exposed to a hepatitis virus; has a family history of liver disease; has excessive alcohol intake; or is taking a drug that can cause liver damage.
