    "description": "A fixed group of blood chemistry tests run together to assess how the liver is working. The set covers the liver enzymes ALT and AST, alkaline phosphatase, total and direct bilirubin, plus total protein and albumin. Because it is a defined panel, the whole group is reported under this one code rather than as separate individual tests. It is ordered as a package even when the clinician is really watching only one or two of the values.",
