The document discusses liver function tests, which detect and assess liver disease. Tests evaluate the liver's excretory, biosynthetic, metabolic, and detoxification functions. Excretory function tests measure bile pigments and salts. Biosynthetic tests check albumin and globulins. Metabolic tests include galactose tolerance. Detoxification is assessed using hippuric acid synthesis. Enzyme tests measure ALT, AST, ALP, and GGT. Bilirubin, bromosulphthalein, prothrombin time also provide insights into liver integrity and function. Together, these tests provide a broad picture of liver health and injury.
