Learning outcomes

  • Apply knowledge of the correlation between hepatobiliary structure and function and how the internal molecular processes and disease can impact that function.
  • Demonstrate the ability to analyse hepatic function data according to reference parameters.
  • Determine the clinical significance of hepatic function and their constraints, whilst using the data to justify a clinical diagnosis.

Skills

Manipulating and Presenting Data

  • How to use an equation of a line to calculate the concentration of serum alkaline phosphatase and total bilirubin concentration in patient serum

Concepts, Principles and Theories

  • How general processes of the liver are carried out and how pathophysiology intersects with normal function
  • How liver function tests work and their constraints

Interpreting and Analysing Data

  • How to analyse a panel of liver function tests to diagnose a specific liver abnormality
  • Determine the differences in why specific enzymes are raised in specific conditions
  • Compare calculated parameters to clinical reference ranges and make a clinical diagnosis
