Hepatic Function Tests
“FUNCTION” TEST(S) Necrosis ALT, AST, AST:ALT Cholestasis ALP, GGT, bilirubin Viral Markers hepatitis markers Protein Synthesis albumin, PT, PTT Reaction to injury immunoglobulins Tumor Markers LDH, AFP, CEA

Hepatic Disease• NECROSIS
- Acute- viral, toxic, hypoxic
- Chronic- carrier state, chronic activity
• CHOLESTASIS- Intrahepatic
- Diffuse: drug-induced, PBC- Focal: tumor, granuloma, stone
- Extrahepatic: stone, tumor

Indicators of Necrosis
• normal ALT and inc AST: nonhepatic• AST:ALT > 2: acute alcoholic hepatitis
> 1: in chronic disease: alcoholic < 1: in acute viral hepatitis
• in acute alcoholic hepatitis: - AST & ALT < 250 U/L
• Abrupt increases to > 10,000 U/L occur in hypoxia, acetominophen, herpes simplex
• predominance of ALT/AST over ALP/GGT favors necrosis over cholestatsis

Indicators of Cholestasis
• increases in ALP and GGT: Hepatic
• increases in ALP and normal GGT: Bone
• increases in ALP and normal bilirubin: mean focal intrahepatic cholestasis
• blood group O and B secretors may increase intestinal ALP postprandially
• predominance of ALP/GGT over ALT/AST favor cholestasis over necrosis
• Isolated slight increases in GGT - alcohol, anticonvulsants, diabetes, hyperthyroidism
weeks after acute MI

Bilirubin
• Increased T. Bilirubin < 5.0 mg/dL with D. Bilirubin < 20% of total indicates hemolysis or Gilbert syndrome
• In extra-hepatic obstruction T. Bilirubin rarely exceeds 25 mg/dL

Indicators of Protein Synthesis
• decreased albumin in a non-acutely ill patient means a chronic illness
• Albumin may decrease quickly in an acutely ill patient in negative nitrogen balance
• PT is a more sensitive index of synthesis than albumin
• both albumin and PT are better indices of severity and prognosis of liver disease

Indicators of Reaction to Injury
• autoimmune hepatic disease indicated by:- immunoglobulins > 3.0 g/dL; ANA >
1:160, homogeneous; positive smooth muscle antibody, Type I L-K microsomal antibody
• PBC: Increased IgM & antimitochondrial antibody in >90%
• in chronic hepatic disease, increase in globulin indicates activity
