Liver Function Blood Test

Service Description

Our Liver Function Blood Test is designed to assess the health of your liver and detect early signs of liver damage or inflammation. The liver plays a vital role in digestion, detoxification, metabolism, and nutrient storage. This test helps evaluate how well your liver is functioning and whether there are signs of stress, damage, or disease. It’s particularly useful if you have symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, dark urine, abdominal discomfort, or yellowing of the skin or eyes, or if you are at risk due to alcohol use, medications, or underlying health conditions.

This test checks a range of enzymes and proteins that reflect liver health, including: Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT): High levels may indicate liver cell damage. Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST): Another enzyme that rises when the liver is stressed or injured. Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP): Elevated levels can signal bile duct problems or liver disease. Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT): Often raised in liver or bile duct issues, and linked to alcohol intake. Total Protein: Measures the total amount of protein in your blood, important for liver function and overall health. Albumin: A protein made by the liver; low levels may indicate liver dysfunction. Bilirubin: High levels can point to problems with bile flow or liver function. Globulin: A group of proteins involved in immune function, often altered in liver disease. Who Should Take This Test? This test is recommended for anyone with potential liver-related symptoms, those with a history of alcohol use, fatty liver, hepatitis, or long-term medication use. It’s also a valuable routine health check for monitoring liver health proactively.
