What kind of liver test?
      #227412 - 02/22/05 01:29 PM

If someone wanted to go get tests done on their liver to check for tylenol damage, what would he/she ask for?

I think the test is called a standard liver panel. It includes test on a few liver enzymes. A note of caution, the tests are not a definitive link to liver problems. Some people are cirrhotic (sp?) and have pretty good enzyme levels. Others can have no cirrhosis and have high enyme levels. It is best to see a gastroenterologist.

Ask for a CMP or Comprehensive Metabolic Panel. The CMP is used as a broad screening tool to check for conditions such as diabetes, liver disease, and kidney disease.

It includes:
Glucose
Calcium

Proteins
Albumin
Total Protein

Electrolytes
Sodium
Potassium
CO2 (carbon dioxide, bicarbonate)
Chloride

Kidney Tests
BUN (blood urea nitrogen)
Creatinine

Liver Tests
ALP (alkaline phosphatase)
ALT (alanine amino transferase, also called SGPT)
AST (aspartate amino transferase, also called SGOT)
Bilirubin

For those of you looking to keep from damaging your livers, I would like to recommend a dietary supplement that is very excellent. It is called "LiverAid" by Liverite and helps support proper liver function. It contains a propriety blend of ingredients that help heal and prevent damage done by acetaminophen and other harmful things one may encounter in their diet. God Bless.
