The liver performs over <strong>500 vital functions<\/strong>, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>metabolizing nutrients<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>filtering toxins<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>producing essential proteins<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>regulating blood clotting<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Many liver diseases, such as steatosis (fatty liver) or hepatitis, can remain <strong>asymptomatic for years<\/strong>. For this reason, blood tests are a fundamental tool for <strong>early diagnosis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If your values are abnormal, it is always advisable to see a specialist. Learn more about <strong>fatty liver and its risk factors<\/strong> on Nefrocenter.<\/p>\n<h2>When to have liver tests<\/h2>\n<h3>Routine screening (over 40) with liver tests<\/h3>\n<p>After age 40 it is advisable to have a <strong>liver panel<\/strong> done periodically, especially if your lifestyle puts you at risk.<\/p>\n<h3>Risk factors<\/h3>\n<p>It is important to have your liver checked if you have:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>overweight or obesity<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>diabetes<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>high cholesterol<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>alcohol consumption<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>long-term use of medications<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>viral infections (hepatitis)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Suspicious symptoms<\/h3>\n<p>Although often absent, some signs may point to a liver problem:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>persistent fatigue<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>pain in the right side<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>jaundice (yellow skin)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>dark urine<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>nausea<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Follow-up of existing conditions<\/h3>\n<p>People with liver disease must regularly monitor:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>transaminases<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>bilirubin<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>blood clotting<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Liver tests (liver panel)<\/h2>\n<p>The so-called <strong>liver panel<\/strong> includes several parameters that make it possible to assess how well the liver is working.<\/p>\n<h2>Transaminases (AST and ALT)<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Transaminases<\/strong> are the best-known indicators of liver health.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>ALT (alanine aminotransferase)<\/strong> \u2192 more specific to the liver<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>AST (aspartate aminotransferase)<\/strong> \u2192 also found in muscles<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What they measure<\/h3>\n<p>They signal <strong>damage to liver cells<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Reference values<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>ALT: 7-56 U\/L<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>AST: 10-40 U\/L<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>High transaminases: what to do?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>High transaminases<\/strong> do not always indicate a serious disease, but they must be evaluated.<\/p>\n<p>Most common causes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>fatty liver<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>alcohol<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>medications<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>viral infections<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>intense physical activity<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If the values stay elevated for more than 3-6 months, further investigation is needed.<\/p>\n<h2>Gamma-GT (GGT)<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Gamma GT<\/strong> is a very sensitive enzyme.<\/p>\n<h3>Function and meaning<\/h3>\n<p>It points to problems in the bile ducts or the liver.<\/p>\n<h3>High gamma GT: causes<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>alcohol consumption<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>medications<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>cholestasis<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>hepatitis<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is one of the first values to rise in liver damage.<\/p>\n<h2>Alkaline phosphatase (ALP)<\/h2>\n<h3>Role<\/h3>\n<p>Involved in bone metabolism and in the bile ducts.<\/p>\n<h3>Elevated values<\/h3>\n<p>May indicate:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>bile

from the breakdown of red blood cells.<\/p>\n<h3>Metabolism<\/h3>\n<p>The liver processes it and eliminates it through bile.<\/p>\n<h3>High bilirubin<\/h3>\n<p>Can cause:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>jaundice<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>dark urine<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>pale stools<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Albumin<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Albumin<\/strong> is a protein produced by the liver.<\/p>\n<h3>Meaning<\/h3>\n<p>It assesses the liver&#8217;s ability to synthesize substances.<\/p>\n<h3>Low values<\/h3>\n<p>May indicate:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>liver failure<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>malnutrition<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>chronic diseases<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>PT\/INR (prothrombin time)<\/h2>\n<p><strong>PT\/INR<\/strong> measures the ability of the blood to clot.<\/p>\n<p>An abnormal value may indicate <strong>impaired liver function<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Blood ammonia<\/h2>\n<p>Assesses ammonia levels in the blood.<\/p>\n<h3>When it is elevated<\/h3>\n<p>May indicate:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>advanced liver failure<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>hepatic encephalopathy<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Table of normal values for liver tests (updated
