The liver plays multiple roles including the making, breaking down, detoxifying and storing of substances required to ensure normal functioning of the body.

This profile measures the blood levels of protein, liver enzymes (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase), bilirubin and albumin in the body which can help to monitor side effects of medications and alcohol intake, diagnose liver damage or liver disease and monitor progression or treatment of an existing disease.
