Assesses liver function through enzyme and protein measurements to evaluate liver health.
A liver function panel measures enzymes and proteins produced by or processed through the liver — the body's largest internal organ and a critical hub for detoxification, protein synthesis, and bile production. The panel typically includes ALT and AST (enzymes released when liver cells are damaged), ALP and GGT (markers of bile duct function), bilirubin (a waste product processed by the liver), and albumin (a protein the liver produces). Elevated levels can indicate liver inflammation, fatty liver disease, hepatitis, alcohol-related damage, or bile duct obstruction. With non-alcoholic fatty liver disease affecting roughly 25% of adults globally, regular liver screening has become increasingly important.
Key Details
Who Is This For?
Anyone who consumes alcohol regularly and wants to monitor liver health. People taking medications that can affect the liver (statins, acetaminophen, certain antibiotics). Those with risk factors for fatty liver disease including obesity, type 2 diabetes, or metabolic syndrome. Individuals with a family history of liver disease or hepatitis.
What's Included
Preparation Required
Fasting for 10–12 hours before your appointment is recommended for accurate results (water is fine). Avoid alcohol for 24 hours and intense exercise for 12 hours before the blood draw. Morning appointments are ideal for consistent hormone and glucose readings. The blood draw typically takes 5–10 minutes.
