what are liver enzyme tests called
The liver panel test involves several tests that check how well your liver is working. These tests are called liver function tests. They are blood tests. Several different enzymes (proteins) made by the liver are measured in the blood: SGOT (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase), also called AST (aspartate aminotransferase)
What are liver tests? Liver tests (LTs) are blood tests used to assess the general state of the liver or biliary system. Few of these tests actually measure how well the liver or biliary system is functioning, but rather reflect the presence of damage or inflammation.
