摘要
Liver biochemistries are commonly ordered in the primary care setting, and they may return abnormal even in an asymptomatic patient. Primary care physicians need to have a systematic way of interpreting any derangement in these tests so that further investigations, referrals, and management can be arranged appropriately. This review dwells into patterns of liver biochemistry derangement, common aetiologies to consider, history and examinations that are required, initial investigations to order, and when to refer urgently to the emergency department.
