    *Slight Variation on Theme:

    1. Concept not Diagnosis
    2. Anatomical/Pathological/Etiological "Signals" Highlighted
    3. Ideas Vital for Any Hepatic Differential Diagnosis & Prognosis!

    Note: GGT is much more specific for Liver Injury than ALT & AST but may be less sensitive. Therefore, it's role must be that of sequel to elevated ALT/AST. Serum Albumin, PT, Bilirubin, etc., on the other hand, are prognostic rather than diagnostic
