Answers:
Usually the liver function test gives an indication of how much your liver is inflamed and possibly either damaged or changed in its ability to work properly!. The test does this by measuring the following!.



ALT and AST levels, which indicate the degree of inflammation!. The aminotransferases are enzymes that are present in the liver cells (hepatocytes)!. They leak into the blood stream when the liver cells are damaged!. These values are usually high in hepatitis
