What Can I Learn From This Test

Liver tests provide a good insight into your overall health. The liver is involved in almost every biochemical process in your body. Feeling more tired, reduced appetite, stomach aches and weight loss can be symptoms of liver problems. Abnormal liver blood tests can indicate:

  • Liver Inflammation/Hepatitis
  • Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
  • Alcohol-Related Liver Disease
  • Biliary Tract Disorders
  • Liver Cirrhosis
  • Autoimmune Hepatitis
  • Pancreatitis

This test will help identify any problems with your liver, and provides a detailed look into how well your liver is functioning. This is very important as liver problems often  have no symptoms and can go undetected for many years.

There are several factors that influence liver health, such as alcohol, genetics and diet.

Biomarkers Tested

Bilirubin

Bilirubin is a product of the breakdown of haemoglobin from red blood cells. It is removed from the body via the liver, stored and concentrated in the gallbladder and secreted into the bowel. It is removed from your body through urine and faeces. Bilirubin causes the yellowish colour you sometimes see in bruises, due to red blood cells breaking down underneath the skin.

ALP

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme found mainly in the liver and bones. Measuring it can indicate ongoing liver, gallbladder or bone disease.

ALT

Alanine transferase (ALT) is an enzyme which is mostly found in the liver, but is also found in smaller amounts in the heart, muscles and the kidneys. If the liver is damaged, ALT is leaked into to bloodstream. As ALT is predominantly found in the liver, it is usually an accurate marker for liver inflammation and can indicate liver damage caused by alcohol, fatty liver, drugs or viruses (hepatitis).

Gamma GT

Gamma GT, also known as gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), is a liver enzyme which is raised in liver and bile duct diseases. It is used in conjunction with ALP to distinguish between bone or liver disease. Gamma GT is also used to diagnose alcohol abuse as it is raised in 75% of long term drinkers.
