Liver blood test values

Check your liver health in time, right from the comfort of your own home. Your liver is vital: it filters your blood, supports your metabolism and helps digest fats. However, liver problems often cause symptoms only after significant damage has already occurred. With our home liver function test, you can easily gain insight into your liver health. The test measures important liver enzymes that may indicate whether your liver is under strain or damaged. This can help identify early signs of liver disease and allow you to take action before complications develop.

About the test

What does a liver function test involve?

Your liver is a powerful organ that performs several essential functions. Among other things, the liver is responsible for:

  • Removing waste products and toxins from your blood
  • Producing bile, which is important for digestion
  • Producing cholesterol and lipid transport proteins
  • Processing haemoglobin, a component of red blood cells
  • Regulating blood clotting
  • Converting excess glucose into glycogen for energy storage

With our home liver function test, you can measure the levels of important liver enzymes in your blood. The test measures:

  • ALAT (alanine aminotransferase)
  • ASAT (aspartate aminotransferase)
  • Gamma-GT (gamma-glutamyl transferase)
  • ALP (alkaline phosphatase)
  • Bilirubin

Elevated levels of one or more of these markers may indicate liver damage or liver disease. The test is based on a simple finger prick and is analysed by an accredited laboratory. You will usually receive your result one day after your sample has been received by the laboratory, via your personal online dashboard.

Why choose a liver function test?

A liver function test may be useful if you:

  • Take medication that may put strain on your liver
  • Have experienced stomach or intestinal problems in the past
  • Regularly drink alcohol, particularly in larger amounts
  • Use performance-enhancing substances or recreational drugs
  • Have family members with liver problems

Even without symptoms, checking your liver function can be useful if you want to gain insight into how your body responds to diet, supplements or medication.

Symptoms of liver problems

Symptoms of liver problems

Elevated liver enzymes do not always cause immediate symptoms. However, they can indicate liver damage or liver disease. In such cases, you may experience symptoms such as:

  • Reduced appetite
  • Persistent fatigue or exhaustion
  • Dark-coloured urine
  • Itching all over the body
  • Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
  • Nausea and/or vomiting
  • Pale, loose or greasy stools
  • Unintentional weight loss
  • Pain or pressure in the abdominal area, particularly in the upper right side

If you experience several of these symptoms, it may be advisable to have your liver values checked, for example with our simple home test.

Biomarker summary

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP)

ALP is an enzyme found mainly in the liver, bile ducts and bones, but also in the heart, intestines, kidneys and placenta. An elevated ALP level may indicate:

  • Liver damage
  • Bile duct obstruction
  • Bone disorders

If the result is abnormal, further investigation is important to determine the underlying cause.

ALT (alanine aminotransferase)

ALT is found mainly in liver cells, but also in the kidneys, heart and muscles. An elevated ALT level in the blood often indicates liver damage. Possible causes include:

  • Liver inflammation
  • Bile flow obstruction
  • Alcohol consumption
  • Medication
  • Type 2 diabetes

A temporary elevation is possible, but if levels remain high, it is advisable to repeat the test or seek medical advice.

Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT)

GGT helps process substances such as alcohol, medication and toxins. Levels are often elevated in cases of:

  • Excessive alcohol consumption
  • Liver damage or inflammation
  • Gallbladder problems or bile duct obstruction

GGT is a sensitive marker of liver strain. If the level is abnormal, it may be advisable to review your lifestyle or medication use.

Bilirubin

Bilirubin is a waste product released when red blood cells break down. The liver processes bilirubin and excretes it through bile. An elevated level may indicate:

  • Problems with liver function
  • Bile duct obstruction

Symptoms may include:

  • Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
  • Dark urine
  • Pale or greasy stools

AST (aspartate aminotransferase)

AST is an enzyme involved in the breakdown of amino acids. It is found in the liver, heart, brain and muscles.

Elevated AST levels can be caused by:

  • Liver damage
  • Alcohol consumption
  • Muscle damage, for example after intense exercise

A mild elevation does not necessarily indicate a problem, but higher or persistent elevations may require further investigation.

Laboratory results

When can I expect my laboratory results?

Once you have sent your sample, the process is quick. You will usually receive your result one day after your sample has been received by the laboratory, via your personal online dashboard.

What does my test result mean?

This test measures the levels of the following liver markers in your blood:

  • ALAT (ALT)
  • ASAT (AST)
  • Gamma-GT
  • ALP (alkaline phosphatase)
  • Bilirubin

The results provide insight into your liver function. Test results provide a snapshot in time and can be influenced by factors such as diet, lifestyle, medication and the time of sample collection. Abnormal values do not automatically mean that you have a medical condition. Abnormal results may indicate strain or damage to the liver. If this is the case, it is advisable to contact your doctor for further investigation or advice.

  • Drinking alcohol in moderation – give your liver a break and avoid excessive alcohol consumption

By adopting these healthy habits, you support your liver and your overall health in the long term.

Liver diseases often develop between the ages of 40 and 50, although they can also occur in younger people, especially when risk factors are present, such as overweight, alcohol consumption, or viral infections.

In the early stages, liver disease often causes few or no symptoms because the body can still compensate well for reduced liver function. As the condition progresses, symptoms become more noticeable and medical treatment is often required.

Early detection through a blood test can help prevent complications.

Various lifestyle and health factors can increase the risk of liver problems, including:

  • Excessive alcohol consumption
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Overweight or obesity
  • Genetic predisposition to liver diseases (such as haemochromatosis)

Exposure to hepatitis risks, such as:

  • Unprotected sexual contact
  • Contact with infected blood or bodily fluids (for example, through needles or tattoos)

If you have one or more of these risk factors, it may be useful to have your liver values checked preventively through a blood test.

Not necessarily. Elevated liver enzymes often indicate a temporary disruption in liver function, but this does not automatically mean there is permanent or serious liver damage.

The cause can range from something harmless (such as recent medication use or a viral infection) to something more serious. Therefore, if liver values are abnormal, it is important to have further tests carried out by a doctor so that the underlying cause can be identified and, if necessary, treated.

Yes, in many cases liver damage can be reversed, especially when it is detected at an early stage and the underlying cause is addressed.

For example:

  • Mild fatty liver disease (caused by alcohol or diet) can improve through a healthier lifestyle
  • Damage caused by medication or infections can recover once the cause is removed
  • Early stages of hepatitis can often be treated effectively

The appropriate treatment depends on the underlying cause and the severity of the damage. That is why it is important to always consult your doctor for further investigation and advice if your liver values are abnormal.

An elevated level of liver enzymes is often discovered through blood tests. It does not always mean that you have a serious liver condition, but it can be a sign that something is going on in your body.

Possible causes include:

  • Use of painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen
  • Prescription medications (e.g. statins, antibiotics, or antidepressants)
  • Hepatitis A, B, or C
  • Excessive alcohol consumption or drug use
  • Fatty liver disease or liver cirrhosis
  • Metabolic conditions (such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, NAFLD)
  • Coeliac disease (gluten intolerance)
  • Benign or malignant liver tumours
  • Infections such as glandular fever or the Epstein-Barr virus

If your levels are elevated, it is advisable to have further tests carried out so that the cause can be identified and, if necessary, treated.
