A liver panel or one or more of its component tests may be used to help diagnose liver disease if a person has signs and symptoms that indicate possible liver dysfunction. If a person has a known condition or liver disease, testing may be performed at intervals to monitor the health of the liver and to evaluate the effectiveness of any treatments. A series of bilirubin tests, for instance, may be ordered to evaluate and monitor a jaundiced newborn.A liver function test is done as a routine work-up to screen for liver dysfunctioning, especially if someone has a condition or is taking a drug that may affect the liver. A MolQ Complete Health Package which is often performed as part of a complete health package, may be ordered instead of a single liver panel for routine screening of the complete body. This group of tests includes most of the liver panel as well as additional tests that evaluate other organs and systems within the body. Bilirubin (Total, Direct, Indirect), SGOT, SGPT, Alkaline Phosphate, Total Protein, Albumin, Globulin, A:G Ratio
