Abstract:Introduction: Viral hepatitis and other liver-related diseases are mostly difficult to diagnose solely based on clinical regimes. Liver damage results in alterations in serum enzyme patterns which have been used to develop many enzyme-based assays. Aim and objectives: The major clinical consequences of chronic liver disease can be evaluated by liver function tests like bilirubin, gammaglutamyl transferase (GGT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine transaminase (ALT). Alanine transaminase and AST chan… Show more
