Elevated Liver TestsLiver performs a wide variety of biochemical,
synthetic, and excretory functionNo one test provides a global assessmentRecognition of common patterns of
abnormalities will help guide further evaluation

Markers of Hepatocyte NecrosisAminotransferases
Aspartate aminotransferase (AST/SGOT) Not specific for liver – present in muscle, kidney,
RBC Present in both hepatocyte cytosol and
mitochondria
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT/SGPT) Relatively specific for liver Present in the cytosol

Markers of Hepatocyte NecrosisAST/ALT ratio
Usually less than or equal to oneGreater than 2 in several settings
ETOH – secondary to pyridoxine deficiency Cirrhosis Wilson’s disease (ratio greater than 4)
![Page 41: Steven Klein, MD Wilmington Gastroenterology. Pearls Specialists write questions Endoscopy usually the answer Emphasis on outpt. Eval of common GI disorders](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bf861a28abf838c884b9/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Markers of Hepatocyte NecrosisAST and ALT levels
Levels < 500 are found in wide variety of liver diseases
Massive elevations (>2000 IU) are almost exclusively related to acute viral hepatitis, drug induced liver disease, or ischemia
![Page 42: Steven Klein, MD Wilmington Gastroenterology. Pearls Specialists write questions Endoscopy usually the answer Emphasis on outpt. Eval of common GI disorders](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bf861a28abf838c884b9/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Markers of Hepatocyte NecrosisLactate Dehydrogenase (LDH)
Very wide tissue distribution, so rarely helpfulExtreme elevation with ischemia (greater than
5000 IU)
![Page 43: Steven Klein, MD Wilmington Gastroenterology. Pearls Specialists write questions Endoscopy usually the answer Emphasis on outpt. Eval of common GI disorders](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bf861a28abf838c884b9/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Markers of CholestasisAlkaline phospatase (AP)
Present in a variety of tissues (liver, bone, intestine, leukocytes)
Elevation results from increased synthesis induced by cholestasis
Striking elevations seen in infiltrative liver disease, intra or extrahepatic biliary obstruction
![Page 44: Steven Klein, MD Wilmington Gastroenterology. Pearls Specialists write questions Endoscopy usually the answer Emphasis on outpt. Eval of common GI disorders](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bf861a28abf838c884b9/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Markers of CholestasisGamma Glutamyl Transpeptidase (GGTP)
Also found in a variety of other tissue, but not bone
Can confirm hepatic origin of elevated APInduced by EtoH and drugs – GGTP/AP ratio >
2.5 suggests EtoH
![Page 45: Steven Klein, MD Wilmington Gastroenterology. Pearls Specialists write questions Endoscopy usually the answer Emphasis on outpt. Eval of common GI disorders](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bf861a28abf838c884b9/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Markers of Cholestasis5’ – Nucleotidase
Again has wide tissue distribution, but sig elevations are fairly specific for liver disease
Less sensitive compared to GGTP to confirm hepatic origin of elevated alk phos

Markers of CholestasisBilirubin
Product of heme metabolismSerum concentration usually < 1mg/dl, is
unconjugated Normally, less than 5% conjugated Jaundice evident with bilirubin > 3
![Page 47: Steven Klein, MD Wilmington Gastroenterology. Pearls Specialists write questions Endoscopy usually the answer Emphasis on outpt. Eval of common GI disorders](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bf861a28abf838c884b9/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Markers of CholestasisHyperbilirubinemia
Impaired biliary excretion – conjugated hyperbilirubinemia Biliary obstruction
With choledocholithiasis, bilirubin rarely exceeds 8 mg/dl
Hepatocellular diseaseIncreased production usually results in an
unconjugated hyperbilirubinemiaHereditary disorders of bilirubin metabolism

Markers of Synthetic CapacityProthrombin Time (PT)
Liver synthesizes all coagulation factors except VIII
Vit K required for carboxylation of II, VII, IX, XDiff dx of prolonged PT includes Vit K def, DIC,
and Liver disease Measurement of factor VIII is low in DIC, nml or
high in liver disease If malabsorption, Vit K should reduced the PT by
30% within 24 hrs

Markers of Synthetic CapacityAlbumin
About 10gm synthesized and secreted by hepatocytes daily
Synthesis decreases with progressive liver disease
Other factors such as nutrition, renal or GI losses, important as well
Half life of 20 days, so less helpful for acute liver disease
