Basic Liver

Function

ALP

This normal Liver function test looks at ALP (alkaline phosphatase), ALT (alanine aminotransferase), Gamma GT (Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase), and Bilirubin to understand if there are any issues with your Liver function

ALP (alkaline phosphatase) helps to break down proteins in your body. Abnormal levels of ALP in your blood can suggest a problem with your liver or gallblader.

ALT

ALT (alanine aminotransferase) is another enzyme produced by your liver. Like AST, your ALT levels should usually be low. But your liver damage causes higher levels to be released into your bloodstream.

Gamma GT

Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) is another liver enzyme. When your liver is injured or there is an obstruction to your flow of bile, the GGT concentration in your bloodstream increases.

Bilirubin

Bilirubin is a yellow substance made from the normal breakdown of red
