👩‍⚕️ Who May This Test Be Suitable For?

This test may be suitable if you:

🧪 Want to check liver health

🍺 Want to assess the impact of alcohol intake

💊 Take medicines that may require liver monitoring

😴 Feel tired or generally unwell

📊 Have previously had abnormal liver blood results

📌 This test provides liver marker information only and does not diagnose liver disease on its own.

⚡ Why Are These Markers Important?

🧪 ALT and AST are liver enzymes that may rise when liver cells are irritated or damaged.

🧪 Gamma-GT can be linked with bile duct irritation, alcohol intake or certain medicines.

🧪 Alkaline Phosphatase can provide information about bile flow and may also be influenced by bone health.

🟡 Bilirubin is produced when red blood cells break down and may rise if the liver or bile flow is affected.

💪 Albumin, Globulin and Total Protein help assess the liver’s protein production and overall protein balance.

💡 Together, these markers provide a useful overview of liver function, liver enzymes, bile flow and protein production.

🔍 Why Is This More Than Just a Liver Enzyme Test?

A liver check is not just about ALT or AST. This panel looks at several different aspects of liver health.

This test helps assess:

🧪 Liver cell irritation or inflammation

🟡 Bilirubin processing and bile flow

💪 Protein production and liver synthetic function

📊 Patterns that may help guide whether further review is needed

💡 Looking at the full panel gives more context than checking a single liver marker alone.
