What tests are done for liver enzyme levels?
Typically, the first is a blood test to measure the enzyme levels. This test shows only the levels and associates with some type of impairment to the liver, it does not measure the true function of the liver, or the reason for the elevation.
The next series of tests may be done if you or your doctor suspect an unhealthy liver, even when your initial blood test may not show any elevations: Ultrasound, CAT scan, liver function tests, bile duct imaging, biopsy.
To lower elevated liver enzymes liver cleansing is recommended by a number of both conventional medical doctors and alternative doctors. For more information on liver cleansing, visit www.puristat.com
