About Liver Function Test
A liver function test (hepatic function panel) measures enzymes and proteins produced by the liver, including ALT, AST, bilirubin, and albumin. It is used to detect liver disease, monitor medications that affect the liver, and evaluate symptoms like jaundice and fatigue.
Understanding Your Bill
A hepatic function panel is billed as a single panel. Individual liver enzymes may be ordered and billed separately.
