Liver function tests are essential diagnostic tools in veterinary medicine that help assess the health and function of an animal's liver. These tests measure various enzymes, proteins, and other substances in the blood that reflect liver health and can indicate liver damage, disease, or dysfunction.

Liver function tests are fundamental in detecting and monitoring liver diseases in animals. The liver performs numerous vital functions including metabolism, detoxification, protein synthesis, and bile production. These tests help veterinarians diagnose conditions like hepatitis, cirrhosis, bile duct obstruction, and liver cancer while also monitoring an animal's response to treatment.

Diagnose Liver Diseases: Identify conditions such as
