All Wales Abnormal Liver Blood Tests Pathway

Approximately 15% of all liver blood test panels include at least one abnormality, but determining which of those patients have significant liver disease has been a cause for uncertainty.

It is well recognised that advanced liver disease is usually recognised very late and deaths from liver disease continue to rise.

This programme will guide healthcare professionals to have a more assertive approach to the management of abnormal liver blood tests, recognising advanced disease (including cirrhosis) at a much earlier stage.
