IFCOR's Liver Function Panel measures nine markers — total protein, albumin, bilirubin (total and conjugated), AST, ALT, GGT, ALP, and cholinesterase — to assess hepatocellular integrity, biliary flow, and the liver's synthetic capacity. Cholinesterase is a marker of hepatic protein synthesis rarely included in standard liver panels; it falls in liver failure, chronic hepatitis, and malnutrition, providing an early synthetic function warning. At 250 Kč total with phlebotomy, this targeted panel is economical enough for repeat monitoring before and after dietary changes, alcohol reduction programmes, or medication adjustments.
About this treatment
The liver performs over 500 distinct metabolic functions, and liver disease — including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD/MASLD), alcoholic hepatitis, viral hepatitis, and drug-induced hepatotoxicity — can progress to cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma while remaining asymptomatic for years. IFCOR's nine-marker Liver Function Panel captures both hepatocellular damage and synthetic function through a complementary set of biomarkers. ALT (alanine…
Good to know

Who is this for?
Adults monitoring alcohol intake, fatty liver disease, medication hepatotoxicity, or liver function before or during dietary interventions — also appropriate for anyone with elevated liver enzymes on a GP test who wants a more complete picture.
Preparation required
Fasting required. Avoid alcohol for at least 48 hours before collection for more interpretable GGT and ALT results. Inform staff of all current medications, supplements, and herbal products.
