Hepatic Injury

This document summarizes the rationale, equipment, measurement, protocol and data cleaning procedures for each of the hepatic measures collected at the Wave VI home exam. It also documents how constructed variables were derived from the hepatic measures collected in the field. Whenever possible, data collection and methods in Wave VI mirrored those of Wave V to ensure comparability of data between waves, although important inter-Wave differences between Waves IV-VI exist and are grey-highlighted herein. This document is one in a set of Wave VI user guides.
