Sažetak

Routine laboratory liver function tests have shown that a large number of patients have elevated levels of one or more liver function indicators. Liver enzyme values indicate whether a patient suffers from liver cell disease and/or injury, where we distinguish between hepatocellular injury, which is characterized by elevated AST and ALT, biliary injury (ALP and GGT, with total and direct bilirubin) or impaired hepatic synthetic function (albumin, abnormal coagulation parameters). In order to facilitate patient management, the paper outlines the most common features and causes of liver injury, and provides recommendations for workup and follow-up of such patients in primary and secondary healthcare.
