Cirrhosis of the liver is the most common cause of portal hypertension worldwide. A range of laboratory values may be obtained in the evaluation of cirrhosis, in order to determine disease severity and causation. Liver function tests, complete blood count, basic metabolic panel and coagulation factors are standard in the evaluation of cirrhosis. More specific testing for markers and serum enzymes may be performed when certain etiologies are suspected.
