If you were asked by your laboratory director to set up an enzyme profile (group of tests)specifically to assess hepatobiliary (biliary obstruction)disease,which one of the following sets of enzymes would be most appropriate?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The enzymes NTP (total bilirubin), ALP (alkaline phosphatase), and GGT (gamma-glutamyltransferase) are commonly used to assess hepatobiliary disease as they are elevated in cases of biliary obstruction. F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 is not a known enzyme and CK (creatine kinase) is not specific to hepatobiliary disease. Similarly, CHE (cholinesterase) and LD (lactate dehydrogenase) are not as sensitive or specific for assessing hepatobiliary disease compared to NTP, ALP, and GGT. ALT (alanine transaminase) and AST (aspartate transaminase) may also be elevated in hepatobiliary disease, but they are not as specific as ALP and GGT. Therefore, the best choice for assessing hepatobiliary disease would be NTP, ALP, and GGT.
