What is tested?
Albumin
A protein that is made in your liver. It helps to transport nutrients and hormones, as well as helps to grow and repair tissues in your body.
Globulin
A group of proteins made in your liver. Globulins play an important role in liver function, blood clotting and fighting infections.
Total Protein
Your albumin and globulin levels combined.
Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)
A protein enzyme that is only found in your liver, so it’s a good indicator of your liver function. A high ALT level can be a sign of liver damage as the ALT protein is released into the bloodstream from the damaged liver cells.
Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)
Your liver is one of the main sources of ALP, but some is also made in your bones, intestines, pancreas, and kidneys.
Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT)
A protein enzyme found mainly in the liver. A high GGT can indicate damage to the liver or bile ducts.
Total Bilirubin
A yellow pigment. High bilirubin levels can be a sign that your liver is damaged. Sometimes high levels can be caused by Gilbert’s syndrome which is a harmless inherited disorder.
