  "term": "Liver Function Measurement",
  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "Blood tests that measure the levels of liver enzymes (proteins made and used by the liver) to determine if the liver is working properly. The liver enzymes that are routinely measured as part of liver function tests are aspartate aminotransferase (AST) - also called serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) - also called serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), and gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT). Increased levels of these enzymes indicate that the liver has been damaged.",
