About the test

This finger prick blood test measures enzymes and proteins in the blood to understand how well the liver is functioning and performing. It is useful for those who suspect liver imbalances, have a history of chronic gastrointestinal problems or gallstones, have a family history of liver disease or are taking medications that may harm the liver.

The test measures Total Protein to understand the sum of all proteins in the blood, including ratios of albumin and globulin, and Total Bilirubin to assess how effective the liver and gallbladder are at clearing Bilirubin. 

It measures enzymes that the liver cells release in response to damage or disease, including Alanine Transferase (ALT), Glutamyl transferase (Gamma GT) and Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) enzyme. 

It’s also suitable for anyone who would like to investigate their health for overall wellbeing.
