Laboratory Tests in Diagnosis of Liver Disease

Laboratory tests in the differential diagnosis of liver disease. Report on two procedures.

The seromucoid estimation and the Jirgl test were investigated as aids in the differential diagnosis of jaundice or hepatomegaly. Subnormal concentrations of seromucoid strongly suggest hepatocellular disease, while in this series most patients with hepatitis or cirrhosis had normal or raised concentrations. In obstructive jaundice normal or high values may be found. Very high values suggest ob...

Diagnostic utility of laboratory tests in alcoholic liver disease.

Alcoholic liver disease is an important health problem in the US. A public health approach is proposed, using laboratory tests to identify patients with early fibrosis of the liver. A variety of serological markers of liver fibrosis based on collagen-related products (e.g., amino-terminal propeptides of type III procollagen) have been investigated. Further studies are needed to determine the op...

Interference in laboratory tests

Interference in clinical laboratory testing can create discrepancies in test results which can lead to patient harm.  In clinical chemistry, interference is defined as a cause of medically significant difference in the measurand test result due to another component or property of the sample. Interference by endogenous and exogenous substances with assays for clinical analytes is a common prob...
