Abstract
Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver and detected usually by abnormal labs. Though liver function tests (LFTs) are a commonly used term for all tests related to the liver, some tests measure liver function and some measure biochemical health. Abnormalities in liver biochemistry do not necessarily reflect a defect in function.
