What tests should liver cancer patients take? 4 liver function tests for liver cancer

1. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ALT abnormality, the examination result of this type of liver cancer often reflects the damage of liver parenchymal cells, or reflects the massive necrosis of the tumor. The ALT of tumor patients is significantly increased, and the surgical mortality rate is also significantly increased.

2. The absolute value of albumin/globulin reflects the total number of effective liver cells, which is obvious when the liver is chronically and severely damaged. It is an important aspect of liver cancer examination. The normal value of albumin is 35-55g/L. If it is less than 30g/L, it is not suitable for major surgery. The normal white/globulin ratio is 1.5-2.5. An inverted white/globulin ratio reflects liver function decompensation and difficulty in enduring major surgery.

3. γ-glutamate transpeptidase (γ-GT): When liver cancer is huge and there are extensive tumor thrombi in the portal vein, and liver function is abnormal, γ-GT will increase significantly, which has a great impact on surgery or prognosis. It is also an important indicator for the examination of liver cancer.

4. Prothrombin time (pT) pT is significantly prolonged. This type of liver cancer test result indicates severe liver damage and a poor prognosis. Surgery is not recommended when pT is 50% lower than the normal value.
