What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained fatigue, digestive issues, abdominal discomfort, or yellowing of the skin or eyes. It helps monitor liver function and detect potential liver damage early, especially important if you drink alcohol regularly, take medications that affect the liver, have a family history of liver disease, or want to check for liver cancer markers. Many people use this test to get peace of mind about their liver health or to track improvements when making lifestyle changes.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your liver function tests mean and how they relate to symptoms like fatigue or digestive issues. These notes include personalized recommendations such as dietary changes, alcohol reduction strategies, supplement suggestions, or whether you should follow up with a specialist. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your liver health over time using our trends feature to see how your lifestyle changes are working.

What's included in this test?

This test measures ALT, AST, Alkaline Phosphatase, Bilirubin, GGT, Albumin, Globulin, Protein, Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) tumor marker, eGFR, Creatinine, BUN, Glucose, Electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Carbon Dioxide), Calcium, and Complete Blood Count including White Blood Cells, Red Blood Cells, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, Platelets, and Differential. This comprehensive panel evaluates your liver function through enzymes like ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase, and GGT, which indicate liver damage or inflammation. It includes bilirubin and albumin to assess how well your liver processes waste and produces proteins, measures alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) as a tumor marker for liver cancer screening, and provides a complete metabolic profile to evaluate kidney function, electrolytes, and blood sugar. The complete blood count (CBC) checks for anemia and infections that can affect liver health. Together, these measurements provide a complete picture of your liver health and early warning signs of liver disease.

How should I prepare for this test?

You should fast for 12 hours before your blood draw, which means no food or beverages except water during that time. This fasting period ensures accurate glucose and liver enzyme measurements. You can take your regular medications unless your doctor advises otherwise. Try to schedule your appointment in the morning so fasting overnight is easier.

When will I get my results?

You can expect your results within 4 business days after your blood sample is collected. In some cases, if confirmation testing is needed for any markers, the turnaround time may be slightly longer. You'll receive an email notification as soon as your results are ready to view in your account.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is important for people who drink alcohol regularly, take medications known to affect the liver, have a family history of liver disease, or have been diagnosed with hepatitis or fatty liver disease. It's also valuable if you're experiencing symptoms like persistent fatigue, loss of appetite, unexplained weight loss, abdominal pain, or jaundice. Anyone wanting to establish a baseline for their liver health or monitor improvements after lifestyle changes should consider this test.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common symptoms that suggest you should check your liver function include persistent fatigue or weakness, nausea and loss of appetite, abdominal pain or swelling especially on the right side, yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), dark-colored urine, or pale stools. You might also notice easy bruising, itchy skin, or swelling in your legs and ankles. These symptoms can indicate your liver isn't functioning optimally and warrant testing.

How can I naturally support my liver health?

Supporting liver health starts with limiting or avoiding alcohol and maintaining a healthy weight through balanced nutrition and regular exercise. Include liver-friendly foods like leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, berries, nuts, and fatty fish rich in omega-3s. Stay well-hydrated, limit processed foods and added sugars, and avoid unnecessary medications or supplements that strain the liver. Milk thistle and turmeric are supplements that some people find helpful, but always check with your doctor first.

What does high ALT or AST mean?

ALT and AST are liver enzymes that leak into your bloodstream when liver cells are damaged or inflamed. Elevated levels can indicate various conditions including fatty liver disease, hepatitis, excessive alcohol use, or medication side effects. Mildly elevated levels often improve with lifestyle changes like weight loss, reduced alcohol intake, and better diet. More significantly elevated levels warrant medical follow-up to determine the underlying cause.

What is alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and why does it matter?

Alpha-fetoprotein is a protein normally produced by a developing fetus, so levels should be very low in adults. Elevated AFP levels in adults can be a marker for liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) or certain other cancers, making it an important screening tool especially for people with chronic liver disease or hepatitis. It's also used to monitor treatment effectiveness if liver cancer has been diagnosed. Regular AFP monitoring helps detect liver cancer early when it's most treatable.
