Question

which of the following lab marker is the most specific and sensitive for a liver condition?
alt
ast
alp
tibc

Explanation:

ALT (Alanine - aminotransferase) is highly specific for liver damage as it is mainly found in liver cells. AST (Aspartate - aminotransferase) is also elevated in liver diseases but is less specific as it is present in other tissues too. ALP (Alkaline phosphatase) can be elevated in liver and bone disorders. TIBC (Total iron - binding capacity) is related to iron metabolism and not a specific liver marker.

Answer:

A. ALT
