What are liver function tests?

In: Men's Health, Laboratory Testing [Edit categories]

Answer:

My little boy had one of these recently. A liver function test is done to determine how well the liver works. Its done by taking a blood sample and testing how many liver cells are detected in the bloodstream. A high amount of cells detected would mean there's a problem with how well your liver is working.
