What This Test Measures

This test analyzes five important biomarkers related to liver function:

GGT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase)
An enzyme that may be elevated in liver or bile duct conditions, often associated with alcohol use or bile obstruction.

ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase)
A liver enzyme that increases when liver cells are damaged, commonly linked to fatty liver, hepatitis, or medication effects.

AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase)
Used together with ALT to assess the extent and type of liver injury.

ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase)
An enzyme related to the bile ducts, where elevated levels may indicate impaired bile flow.

Bilirubin
A breakdown product of red blood cells. High levels may indicate liver dysfunction or bile duct obstruction.

About Liver Health

The liver is essential for detoxification, digestion, and energy metabolism. When liver function is affected, it may lead to symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, abdominal discomfort, dark urine, or jaundice.

Common factors that can impact liver values include alcohol consumption, fatty liver disease (NAFLD), viral infections, medication use, and metabolic conditions. Regular monitoring can help detect changes early and support long-term health.

When Testing May Be Relevant

Testing may be considered if you experience symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, jaundice, dark urine, or pale stools.

It is also relevant for individuals with risk factors such as regular alcohol use, obesity, metabolic syndrome, viral hepatitis, or long-term medication use.

Sample Collection

Your sample is analyzed in an ISO-certified laboratory, ensuring high accuracy and reliable results. The analysis is performed using validated methods such as colorimetric testing and pyridoxal phosphate enzymatic activation tests.

Biomarkers included

• ALP (Alkaline phosphatase): Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme present in several tissues throughout the body, especially in the liver, bones, kidneys, and digestive system. ALP plays an important role in breaking down proteins and in dephosphorylation processes. In the liver, it’s associated with bile ducts and is commonly used to help diagnose liver and bone conditions. Elevated ALP levels may indicate bile duct obstr
• Bilirubin: Bilirubin is a yellow pigment formed when red blood cells are broken down. It is transported to the liver, where it is processed (conjugated) and then excreted through bile. Measuring bilirubin helps assess how well the liver and bile flow pathways are functioning. Elevated levels may be seen with liver or bile duct problems (such as impaired bile flow) or with increased breakdown of red blood cel
• Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST): Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme found in several tissues, including the liver, heart, skeletal muscle, kidneys, and red blood cells. It is involved in amino acid metabolism and can be released into the bloodstream when cells in these tissues are stressed or damaged. Elevated AST may indicate liver injury, but because AST is not liver-specific, increased levels can also be seen with m
• ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase): ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase):ALT is an enzyme mainly found in the liver, where it helps metabolize proteins. When liver cells are damaged or inflamed, ALT is released into the bloodstream, increasing its levels. Measuring ALT is a common method to evaluate liver health, as elevated levels can indicate liver injury or disease, while normal levels typically reflect normal liver function.
• GGT: Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) is an enzyme found throughout the body, with the highest levels in the liver. GGT plays an important role in glutathione metabolism, which is vital for antioxidant defense. It helps transfer amino acids and peptides across cell membranes. Elevated GGT levels are often used as a marker to detect liver damage, especially bile duct obstructions and liver conditions re

How to prepare

You take the test on an empty stomach in the morning. **24 hours before:** Avoid alcohol, caffeine, intense exercise, and smoking.

Frequently asked questions

How does it work? / When do I get my results?

1. Order and receive your kit. 2. Perform the test. 3. Send a sample at the beginning of the week (to avoid delays). 4. Results digitally in 10–15 business days.

Who should take the Liver Test?

The Liver Test is recommended for individuals who consume alcohol regularly, take long-term medications, have a high-fat diet, or experience symptoms such as persistent fatigue, abdominal discomfort, or skin changes like jaundice.

Do I need to fast before taking the liver blood test?

While specific fasting is not always required, it is generally recommended to take the blood sample in the morning before eating for the most consistent and accurate enzyme baseline.

What do elevated liver enzymes mean?

High levels of liver enzymes like ALT or AST often indicate that liver cells are stressed or damaged. This can be caused by various factors including fatty liver, alcohol use, certain medications, or viral infections.
