Functional Liver Dysfunction
In a “healthy population” 40% of men and 20%
of women have functional liver dysfunction.
Common liver function tests are misleading
because most tests used in clinical practice
measure hepato-cellular damage not function.
Specific tests may be useful
Aminopyrine breath test assessing
microsomal liver function
The galactose elimination test assessing the
cytosolic liver function
The sorbitol clearance test assessing the
liver plasma flow
The indocyanine green clearance test
assesing the liver perfusion
The lidocaine Clearance test (Cytochrome P 450)
• But they are very rarely used
Clinical Symptoms
Bloating, slow digestion, constipation
Lack of energy
High Cholesterol and Triglycerides
Hormonal insufficiency
Intolerance to alcohol and/or medications
Recurrent infections
