The Liver Function Test is a crucial test for assessing the health and efficiency of your liver, an essential organ responsible for vital functions like detoxification, metabolism, and protein synthesis. This test measures important liver markers, including:

• Albumin: A protein made by the liver, which helps assess liver function and detect liver disease.

• ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase): High levels may indicate liver, bile duct, or bone disorders.

• AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase) & ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase): Enzymes that indicate liver cell damage when elevated.

• Gamma Glutamyltransferase: Often elevated in liver and bile duct disease, as well as with alcohol use.

• Total Bilirubin: High levels can signal issues like jaundice, indicating liver or bile duct issues.

• Ferritin: A protein that stores iron in your body and releases it when needed. A ferritin blood test is commonly used to assess iron levels and diagnose or monitor conditions like anaemia or iron-related disorders.

Typically results come back quickly, but we advise that they can take up to 5 business days.
