Laboratory diagnostics efficiently applied is of decisive importance for a great deal of questions in spite of the technical and endoscopic methods which are available today in the field of examinations. By means of a screening programme consisting of ALAT, gamma-GT, ChE at a sensitivity of > 90% alterations in both the hepatobiliary system and cholestasis can be recognized with sufficient reliability. Clinical data and a defined laboratory routine programme as a second step in diagnostics results in reliable indication for distinction between obstructive and non-obstructive cholestasis which can be promoted by computer-aided techniques. On the basis of such pre-selections special laboratory methods (differential diagnosis of consecutive non-obstructive cholestasis in liver diseases) or invasive methods to clarify their reason and localization diagnostics of biliary obstruction can then be applied in a well-directed manner to obtain a definite nosologic diagnosis. Effective diagnostic procedures in this three-step programme are described.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008111 Liver Function Tests Blood tests that are used to evaluate how well a patient's liver is working and also to help diagnose liver conditions. Function Test, Liver,Function Tests, Liver,Liver Function Test,Test, Liver Function,Tests, Liver Function
D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.
