More About Liver Function Blood Test
The liver is responsible for a wide range of functions, including:
- Converting food into energy
- Removing waste and toxins
- Supporting hormone balance
Elevated enzyme levels may indicate inflammation or stress on the liver, while changes in protein levels can reflect how well the liver is performing its normal functions.
This test is particularly useful if you want to monitor your liver health over time or identify potential issues early.
