Generally speaking, the term "liver function eight items" refers to a set of eight liver function tests. The general reference price for these eight liver function tests ranges from 30 to 400 yuan per session. The price of these tests can be influenced by various factors including individual conditions, examination requirements, specific test content, testing instruments and technology, and regional economic levels. It is recommended to check with the local hospital for the actual price. Detailed explanations are as follows:

1. Individual Conditions

If a patient has special medical histories, medication records, or allergies, special handling may be required, resulting in higher costs, generally ranging from 150 to 300 yuan per session; for ordinary individuals, the testing price is usually between 30 and 150 yuan per session.

2. Examination Requirements

If a patient requires urgent or specialized testing, the price may increase, generally ranging from 200 to 350 yuan per session; for routine examinations, the cost is relatively lower, usually between 30 and 150 yuan per session.

3. Specific Test Content

If the physician requests additional tests such as cholinesterase based on the patient's condition, the price will increase accordingly, potentially ranging from 150 to 300 yuan per session; if only the basic eight liver function tests are performed, the price is generally between 30 and 150 yuan per session.

4. Testing Instruments and Technology

Using advanced testing equipment and technology for the eight liver function tests can improve accuracy and reliability, but may also increase the cost, potentially ranging from 200 to 400 yuan per session; traditional testing equipment generally costs less, usually between 30 and 200 yuan per session.

5. Regional Economic Level

In economically developed areas with higher living costs, prices are generally higher, ranging from 100 to 400 yuan per session; in less economically developed areas, where operating and labor costs are lower, prices typically range from 30 to 150 yuan per session.

It is recommended to visit a regular hospital and undergo liver function five-item testing under a physician's guidance to ensure the validity of the test results.
