I'm sorry, I'm not a doctor, so not up on the specific jargon. Because I am "no longer a kid," have a few chronic conditions, take meds, etc, my PCP routinely orders a battery of annual blood tests and I just hold out my arm and let them take their 5 vials of blood.
Here is what Mayo Clinc says is included in a "Liver Panel" - afterwards, the provider must interpret it in the context of your overall health:
