Liver function tests and heparin
The American Journal of Digestive Diseases, 1950An attempt has been made to evaluate the effects of heparin upon dye clearance liver function tests. A total of 82 bilirubin and bromsulfalein liver function tests without or with administration of heparin were performed on 31 dogs. Variable results were observed with both dyes, on dogs with and without anesthesia.

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.

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 ...

Clearance Tests of Liver Function
Medical Clinics of North America, 1979Measurement of the clearance of substances removed from the circulation primarily by the liver, which depends on the uptake, storage, and excretory capacity of the liver, provides the most sensitive, specific, and reliable test for hepatic function. Since serum enzymes and other tests of liver function do not permit detection of early phase injury or ...

Liver function tests and statins
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2011To discuss recent data on statins in patients with elevated liver tests.As a result of the obesity epidemic in Western societies, conditions associated with metabolic syndrome are increasing, including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Because most patients with metabolic syndrome have indications for statins, clinicians will be confronted with

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 tests and assessment of liver function
2023Abstract Liver inspection was used in ancient times to predict health and the future. In the twentieth century, the value of serum transaminases and bilirubin was determined in the diagnosis of liver disease. Assessment of global hepatic function can be achieved using biochemical testing of the liver alone or in combination with ...

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.
