This comprehensive panel measures key liver enzymes and proteins that indicate liver health and function in animals. Elevated levels of these enzymes often suggest liver cell damage or obstruction of bile flow, while proteins and bilirubin provide information about liver synthetic function and possible jaundice.

These enzyme tests are particularly valuable in detecting liver disease before clinical signs become apparent. ALT and AST are released when liver cells are damaged, while ALP elevations suggest bile duct obstruction or certain drug effects. Total protein, albumin, and bilirubin measurements help assess the liver's synthetic function and excretory capabilities.
Purpose of Liver Function Tests
Assess Liver Health : Evaluate the
Liver's ability to perform its functions and detect any abnormalities.
Diagnose Liver Diseases : Identify liver
diseases such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver tumors.
Monitor Treatment : Assess the
effectiveness of treatments for liver diseases.
Screen for Liver Damage : Detect liver
damage caused by toxins, infections, or other factors.
