Clodding is the end result of a complex series of somatic reactions involving factors. Clotting factors are all produced in the liver, except clotting factor eight. Long prothromin time can be due to congenital disorders and vadaman c deficiencies as well - so they need to be kept into consideration too.
Liver function tests (LFTs) are a group of blood tests that provide information on the function of a person's liver. This episode Dr Matt & Dr Mike explain what each liver function test represents. This includes bilirubin, albumin, AST, ALT, ALP, and GGT.**This episode is not intended to diagnose. It is for education purposes only.
