Overview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of liver mass include elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein level, positive serologic testing for hepatitis B/C surface antigen, and abnormal liver function tests. Other routine laboratory tests that are recommended in patients presenting with liver mass, include complete blood count, electrolytes, calcium, alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin, creatinine, albumin, and lactate dehydrogenase.
Laboratory Findings

Other routine laboratory tests that are recommended in patients presenting with liver mass, include:
- Complete blood count
- Electrolytes
