The term ‘liver function tests’, used typically to describe the liver profile on a laboratory request form, is in fact a misnomer as several of the tests involved are not tests of liver function, but of hepatic enzyme release either as a result of induction or damage.

The value of liver function tests
The American Journal of Surgery, 1959Abstract In this survey we have studied the results of several liver function tests, particularly the thymol, cephalin, prothrombin, Bromsulphalein, albumin/globulin ratio and alkaline phosphatase tests. Most of the diseases studied were surgical, but some important non-surgical diseases such as viral hepatitis and cirrhosis have been included.

Liver function test and pregnancy
The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2009The physiological changes in liver function in pregnancy are commonly transient, rarely permanent. Disorders arising in pregnancy, such as pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP), haemolysis, elevated liver enzyme and low platelets (HELLP) syndrome, cholestasis, hyperemesis gravidarum and isolated cases of raised liver ...

Liver function tests and their interpretation
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2007Liver function tests (LFT) are a helpful screening tool, which are an effective modality to detect hepatic dysfunction. Since the liver performs a variety of functions so no single test is sufficient to provide complete estimate of function of liver. Often clinicians are faced with reports that do not tally with the clinical condition of the patient ...

Neglected liver function tests
Postgraduate Medical Journal, 2016The paper ‘Evaluation of abnormal liver function tests’1 made several important points. However, there are other ‘liver function tests’ that do not receive the attention they deserve. We must not forget clinical values. Although the number of patients was small, an analysis of 80 patients (rightly or wrongly) admitted to a regional infectious diseases

Liver Scanning and Liver Function Tests
JAMA, 1964To assess the value, sensitivity, and reliability of radioisotopic hepatic photoscanning, results of 380 liver scans performed on 357 patients were compared with final diagnosis and results of liver function tests on these patients. An attempt was made to determine whether new informaion was obtained or that from conventional methods merely duplicated.

The meaning of liver function tests
The American Journal of Medicine, 1954Abstract A few illustrations have been cited to indicate the complexities involved in the simplest conventional liver function tests. It is indeed surprising that in view of the multiple derangements found in most diseases of the liver these tests can be reliable or of any clinical value.

Liver Function Tests and Their Interpretation
Gastroenterology, 1958Summary The theoretic basis and clinical usefulness of a number of liver function tests have been discussed. It is noteworthy that none of them measures the essential metabolic functions of the liver, such as deaminization of amino acids or the maintenance of blood sugar levels.

INTERPRETATION OF LIVER FUNCTION TESTS
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1947Since a comprehensive discussion of liver function tests would require much more time than is available in this symposium, this article is limited to a presentation of the indications for doing the tests, of specific recommendations of the most satisfactory technics of certain principles and limitations in their interpretation and of references to the ...
