Screening for Liver Health

Blood tests help doctors evaluate multiple aspects of your health from how your organs are working. It allows them to assess your risk factors for liver conditions and various other conditions. Any result outside of the reference range may indicate the need for further evaluation. Blood tests for the liver check for the levels of specific enzymes and proteins, produced by the liver. The liver produces enzymes like Alanine transaminase (ALT), an enzyme that helps convert proteins into energy and Aspartate transaminase (AST), an enzyme that helps metabolize amino acids. It also produces Albumin and Total Protein, needed to fight infections and Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), an enzyme that plays an important role in helping the liver metabolize drugs and other toxins. Abnormalities in the levels of these enzymes and proteins indicate the possibility of liver damage or disease. Our dry chemistry test is highly sensitive and is being used successfully across the world.
