A liver function test is often given in the following situations:
to screen for liver infections, such as hepatitis C
To monitor the side effects of certain medications known to affect the liver
If you already have a liver disease, to monitor the disease and how well a particular treatment is working
To measure the degree of scarring (cirrhosis) on the liverif you’re experiencing the symptoms of a liver disorderif you’re planning on becoming pregnant

Liver function tests are groups of blood tests that give information about the state of a patient's liver. These tests include prothrombin time, aPTT, albumin, bilirubin, and others.
