No. A standard liver function panel for a blood test only shows things such as bilirubin, albumin and phosphatases, among other thing's levels. These tests only show damage to the liver without specific causes or chemicals involved. The test is not reliable for even showing alcohol use without running other tests in conjunction to the results. The test is only for, as the description says, testing the functionality of the liver.

Additionally, even if marijuana were to show up on an immunoassay, the lab would not note it unless the doctor specifically ordered it as the lab charges depending on what the doctor ordered.

Could an experiment be done with rubbing alcohol and a liver to show the effects of alcohol on the liver?

No. Isopropyl alcohol does not affect the liver in the same way as ethyl alcohol. Furthermore, the effects on the liver come from the functioning of a living liver (!) dealing with alcohol for long periods of time. The conditions possible in an experiment would have no valid relationship to the actual course of alcoholic liver disease.


How many hours after a person stops drinking can lab tests still detect traces of alcohol?

How quickly your body process the alcohol depends on your liver function. If your liver is healthy, the turnaround time for the alcohol not to show up can be anywhere from 24 hours or longer depending on how much water you drink to flush it from your system. If your liver is not functioning correctly, it can take several days before your liver will be able to break it down and send it to the kidney to be urinated out. Nursing Student

Can marijuana effect the liver and kidneys?

It is known that marijuana has many positive medical uses. However, there are also some down sides. This is why it is so important to do the research.

Firstly, it can interfere with how cytochrome P450 enzyme system works. It can interfere with breaking down some substances and medications properly. It can also cause liver damage, disorders, or poisoning. http://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/marijuana/safety/hrb-20059701 People with hepatitis C and smoke marijuana can worsen their condition, have increased chance of cirrhosis of the liver and severe fibrosis. http://www.loveyourliver.com.au/loving-your-liver/common-toxins-to-avoid Daily cannabis use is strongly associated with moderate to severe fibrosis (scarring of the liver). http://www.cghjournal.org/article/S1542-3565%2807%2901050-6/abstract
