What this test is

The Online Liver Function Test is a panel of tests that assess the health and functionality of your liver. It measures levels of proteins, liver enzymes, and bilirubin in the blood. These tests can help detect liver damage or disease.

What it measures

  • Albumin — reflects liver's ability to produce proteins
  • Bilirubin — indicates liver's ability to process waste
  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) — shows liver cell damage
  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) — reflects liver and muscle health
  • Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) — indicates bile duct health
  • Total protein — assesses overall protein levels in blood
  • Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) — helps detect bile duct issues

What the test involves

The test involves a standard blood draw, where a healthcare professional collects a blood sample from a vein in your arm. This sample is then analyzed for various liver function markers.
