Liver – thousands of biochemical functions –

most cannot be measured

Enzymes – do not measure liver function at all –
detect damage or interference with the bile flow

Interpretation must be performed within the
context of the patient’s risk factors, symptoms,
concomitant

conditions,

medications,

and

physical findings
