Iron Stores and Liver: The interpretation of serum chemistry tests will depend on the clinical situation, since they are not highly specific to any one problem. Ferritin and transferrin saturation are used to assess the amount of iron in the body. AST, ALT, and bilirubin are typically used as measures of liver dysfunction.
