Liver Health

£50.00

The "Liver Health" test package is a comprehensive panel designed to evaluate various aspects of liver function and blood health. This package is essential for detecting early signs of liver damage, monitoring the progression of known liver diseases, and understanding the overall state of your blood cells. The liver plays a vital role in numerous bodily functions, including detoxification, protein synthesis, and the production of biochemicals necessary for digestion. The tests included in this package can help identify liver disorders, such as hepatitis or cirrhosis, and monitor the effectiveness of treatments for liver conditions.

Liver Function Tests (LFTs)

  • ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase): An enzyme found primarily in the liver. Elevated levels can indicate liver damage or dysfunction.

  • AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase): An enzyme that is present in various tissues, predominantly in the heart and liver. High AST levels can suggest liver damage but need to be interpreted alongside ALT and other tests.

  • ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase): An enzyme related to the bile ducts; high levels can indicate blockage or other issues related to bile flow.

  • Albumin and Globulin: Proteins synthesized by the liver. Albumin levels can reflect the liver's synthetic ability, while globulin levels are associated with the immune system.

  • Bilirubin: A waste product processed by the liver from the breakdown of haemoglobin. High bilirubin can cause jaundice and indicate liver or bile duct problems.

  • Total Protein: A measure of albumin and globulin. This test can help identify a range of conditions, including liver disease.

  • GGT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase): An enzyme that, when elevated, can indicate liver damage or disease, especially if related to alcohol consumption or bile duct problems.

Full Blood Count (FBC)

  • MPV (Mean Platelet Volume): Indicates the average size of platelets, with larger platelets potentially signalling more active platelets, which are vital for clotting.

  • WBC Count (White Blood Cell Count): Measures the number of white blood cells, which are crucial for fighting infection. Abnormal levels can indicate infection, inflammation, or other haematological conditions.

  • Lymphocyte, Monocyte, Neutrophil, Eosinophil, Basophil: Different types of white blood cells, each playing a role in the body's immune response.

  • RBC (Red Blood Cell Count), Haemoglobin, Haematocrit (HCT): These tests measure the quantity and quality of red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body.

  • MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume), MCH (Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin), MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration), RDW (Red Cell Distribution Width): These indices help characterise red blood cells and can be used to diagnose various types of anaemia.

  • Platelet Count: Reflects the number of platelets, which are necessary for blood clotting. Abnormal counts may point to haematological disorders or bone marrow issues.

Regular monitoring and evaluation of these test results are crucial for maintaining liver health and diagnosing potential issues promptly. It is recommended that you discuss the outcomes of these tests with your healthcare provider, who can interpret them in the context of your overall health and medical history, and provide appropriate guidance for any necessary treatment or lifestyle adjustments.
