Liver Panel on Orals

Focused liver monitoring for anyone running 17-alpha alkylated oral steroids. These compounds pass through the liver and cause predictable enzyme elevations. Catching problems early prevents serious hepatotoxicity.

When to Test

Week 3-4 of oral use, then every 2 weeks while continuing. Immediately if you develop jaundice, dark urine, or severe fatigue.

Testing Frequency

Every 2-3 weeks while running oral steroids. Retest 4 weeks after discontinuation to confirm recovery.

Markers in This Panel(7)

ALT

Liver Function

Primary liver enzyme; most sensitive to oral steroid damage. Expect 2-5x elevation.

Ref: 0 – 40 U/L

AST

Liver Function

Second liver enzyme; also elevated by muscle damage, so compare with ALT.

Ref: 0 – 40 U/L

GGT

Liver Function

Most specific for drug-induced liver injury. If GGT rises alongside ALT, the liver is the source.

Ref: 0 – 60 U/L

ALP

Liver Function

Elevated ALP with other enzymes suggests cholestasis (bile flow obstruction).

Ref: 30 – 110 U/L

Bilirubin

Liver Function

Rising bilirubin indicates the liver is struggling to clear waste products.

Ref: 0 – 20 umol/L

Albumin

Liver Function

Low albumin suggests impaired liver protein synthesis; a late-stage warning sign.

Ref: 35 – 50 g/L

Total Protein

Liver Function

Liver synthesises most blood proteins; declining levels indicate dysfunction.

Ref: 60 – 80 g/L
