Patients are usually tested for liver disease through liver function tests.
Liver function tests are tests to determine whether the liver is diseased and how it is doing by testing the patient’s blood for glutathione, bilirubin, glutathione, and alkaline phosphatase.
The normal values for glutathione and glutathione are between 0 and 40 umol/L. If the values exceed the normal values by a large margin, liver damage is more severe.
For normal people, bilirubin values range from 1.7 to 17 umol/L. If a high bilirubin value is detected, it may be caused by the patient’s hepatitis, cirrhosis, cholestasis, or other diseases.
Normal alkaline phosphatase values range from 53 to 128 umol/L. Higher values are most likely caused by obstructive jaundice, cholestatic liver disease, secondary liver disease, liver cancer, or by hormonal changes in pregnancy or osteoporosis in patients.
The patient needs to be diagnosed in combination with ultrasound, CT, etc. as a result of chronic heavy drinking, lack of sleep, overexertion, and prolonged drug use, which can cause abnormalities in one of the liver function indicators.
