You mean you trying to find answers for your assignment huh? Should do your homework lah
Liver function tests include a number of different assays that reflect the function of the liver. For example, serum albumin is a measure of the protein sysnthesis function of the liver, serum bilirubin is elevated if the liver fails to metabolize this waste product, enzymes such as alkaline phosphatase and transaminases are elevated in different types of liver diseases...
Lipid profile is a separate set of assays from the liver function tests and measures different sort of lipids: trogylceride, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL (so-called good and bad cholesterol) etc..
Full blood count includes a count of the various blood cell constituents: red cell indices, haemoglobin and its concentration, total white cell count and differential counts of neutrophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, basophils, monocytes, platelet count etc...Reticulocytes are newly formed, immature red blood cells...they are increased in number if there is blood loss for some reason, as the body tries to compensate by making more red cells.
Just to give you an idea....you should read up more for your assignment...do some work
