Liver functions Liver functions are divided into three main functions:
Functions that depend on the liver’s manufacturing capacity, such as total protein and albumin.
Functions that depend on the integrity of the liver cells, and they are called liver enzymes, which are the enzymes found inside the liver cells such as Sgpt, Sgot, ggt, .
Functions that depend on the extractive capacity of the liver, such as alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin
((Alkaline Phosphatase, bilirubin total & direct
1- bilirubin (total, direct)
2- sgpt
3-sgot
4- albumin
5-total protein
6-ggt
7- alkaline phosphatase
8- prothrombin time
In cases of patients with hepatitis C, analysis is increased:
AFP, ANA, Tsh, free T3, free T4, Cbc, pcr quantitative Hcv RNA.
