Abstract: Liver is one of the most important organs which participates in many complicated biochemical
processes, including anabolism and biotransformation of chemical substances, production and inactivation
of coagulation material, and secretion and excretion of bile. It would pose a great threat to human health
when liver lesions occur. Therefore, the comprehensive and impersonal evaluation systems of liver
function have important value on individualized treatment selection and prognosis estimation. Following
medical improvements, estimation systems of liver function has been enriched. Except for traditional blood
biochemical indexes and scoring model, the newly estimation methods is catching more and more concerns
of clinicians, such as quantification of liver reserve function, measurement of the liver functional volume by
imaging and evaluation of liver regeneration after damage. In this article, current status and research progress
on evaluation systems of liver function will be reviewed.
