Specific Learning Objectives:
At the end of the session, Phase-I MBBS Students shall be able to
1) describe the functions of liver
2) describe the liver function tests (LFTs) based on synthetic, metabolic, detoxification, excretory and storage function of liver
3) describe the LFTs in terms of method of estimation, principle, normal range, interpretation and clinical significance
4) describe the abnormalities of Liver (Hepatitis, Cirrhosis, Choledocholithiasis)
