There are five major clinical tests for liver function, and the routine five tests are usually performed according to the needs of the disease, mainly transaminases and bilirubin tests. The most important thing is that the liver is not only a source of energy, but also a source of energy. The liver function test can detect liver diseases such as liver cancer, cirrhosis, viral hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis, etc. It can also detect the presence of biliary obstruction in the body’s digestive system.
But before the liver function test, it is important to fast, usually about ten hours before the liver function test, and not to drink alcohol to prevent elevated serum enzyme levels in the test report due to alcohol, and to avoid fatty foods that tend to increase blood lipids.
But routine liver function tests are very limited, and if liver disease is found, further blood tests and liver ultrasound should be performed to confirm the diagnosis and further treatment.
