Could i have a serious liver problem? how do i test for this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is easy: Liver probelms can be checked out by doctor's examination of your abdomen and doing a couple of blood tests called liver function tests(lfts). Liver makes our proteins so a low level of proteins is caused by chronic liver disease. Acute liver problems cause increase in liver enzymes like SGOT or sgpt. You should go see your doctor to check it all out.
