Hepatic Function Panel (7) is a specialized test that measures seven key markers of liver function and health. This panel includes total protein, albumin, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, AST (aspartate aminotransferase), and ALT (alanine aminotransferase). These markers provide comprehensive information about the liver's synthetic function, excretory capacity, and cellular integrity. Elevated levels of liver enzymes (AST, ALT) indicate liver cell damage, while changes in protein and albumin levels suggest impaired synthetic function. Bilirubin measurements help evaluate the liver's ability to process waste products. This test is particularly valuable for evaluating patients with suspected liver disease, monitoring patients with known liver conditions, and assessing liver function before and after certain medications or procedures.
