Liver Function
Your liver plays a vital role in processing nutrients, removing toxins, and supporting many essential functions within the body.
This test measures specific enzymes and proteins that can indicate how well your liver is functioning and whether there may be signs of inflammation or damage.
Changes in these markers may be linked to:
- Alcohol consumption
- Diet and lifestyle factors
- Infection (such as hepatitis)
- Other underlying health conditions
Early detection is key, as liver problems can progress gradually without noticeable symptoms.
