Liver enzymes: Sgot and SGPT re liver enzymes that are very sensitive to inflammation of the liver cells or hepatocytes.

Not blood tests: Ct and/or MRI may suggest fatty liver, confirmation would need a liver biopsy. Blood tests cannot diagnose fatty liver, though blood tests may point to a risk for fatty liver.
