Liver specific enzymes: Liver function tests: LFTs: Part 5
In this video, I have explained the enzymes investigated in liver function tests. Liver-specific enzymes are grouped into two categories namely those enzymes reflect hepatocyte injury and those enzymes indicate cholestasis. In the first category, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) are the two important enzymes. The second category enzymes are alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma-glutamyltransferase(GGT), and 5' Nucleotidase.
