Liver function physical examination is a common examination item

What are the physical examination items for liver function (SEP)? The values of SEP, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and sGPT in serum represent the degree of liver cell damage. The value of acute hepatitis may be as high as 500-1000 IU/L or more. Chronic hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, cirrhosis, liver cancer, etc. can also cause high values.and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) are enzymes in the body that exist in the liver, heart, as well as in organs or cells such as the brain or blood cells. A high sGOT indicates the possibility of lesions occurring in these areas. [SEP], glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) is an enzyme present in the liver, pancreas, spleen, and kidneys, most commonly used for screening liver dysfunction and cirrhosis, especially alcoholic liver disease and drug-induced liver disease. [SEP], Total Protein (TPO) for checking nutritional status, liver function, kidney function, and infectious diseases. Albumin (ALB) is used to maintain the osmotic pressure of plasma and is produced in the liver. Therefore, when the liver develops diseases, diarrhea, nutritional disorders, etc., albumin will significantly decrease. [SEP], globulin (GLO) may increase or decrease in infections, liver disease, kidney disease, autoimmune diseases, and cancer, and should be interpreted by doctors in conjunction with other examination results. [SEP], albumin/globulin (A/G). [SEP], alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme in the body. When cells are injured, the ALP value increases. In children or adolescents during development, although its value can be as high as 2-3 times, it is still normal. When the value is high, it may indicate liver and gallbladder problems, bone cancer, or bone metastasis. When there is a high value of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), it indicates the possibility of myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, liver injury, muscle dysplasia, leukemia, anemia, or cancer, and usually needs to be judged together with other examination items. Exceeding the normal value by 10% is the limit of the normal value, so when it exceeds 50 units, it should be determined what kind of disease is causing it. When the total bilirubin (TBS) is high, there may be liver and gallbladder problems or hemolytic diseases. If the skin turns yellow, it is called jaundice.The physical examination items for liver function include the possibility of liver and gallbladder problems when the direct bilirubin level is high.
