Welzo Liver Function Blood Test

The Liver Function Blood Test is an essential diagnostic tool used to evaluate the overall health and efficiency of your liver. By measuring key enzymes, proteins, and substances produced or processed by the liver—such as ALT, AST, ALP, bilirubin, and albumin—this test provides crucial insights into liver function and helps detect potential issues early.

Abnormal levels of these markers can indicate liver inflammation, injury, or impaired bile flow, which may be linked to conditions such as hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, and even liver cancer. Early detection allows for timely medical intervention, helping to prevent further damage and improve health outcomes.

This test is also valuable for individuals currently receiving treatment for liver conditions, as it helps monitor progress and effectiveness, ensuring the best possible care plan.

What does this test analyze?

• Bilirubin: Indicates how well your liver is processing waste; high levels may suggest liver issues or jaundice.
• Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT): A key liver enzyme; elevated levels can signal liver damage.
• Gamma-Glutamyltransferase (GGT): Often increased due to liver disease or excessive alcohol consumption.
• Albumin: A protein vital for fluid balance; low levels may indicate liver dysfunction.
• Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP): Elevated levels may suggest liver or bone-related issues.
• Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST): A liver and heart enzyme; high levels can indicate liver or heart problems.
• Total Protein: Measures overall protein levels, reflecting nutritional and organ health.
• Globulin: A group of proteins that support immune function; abnormal levels can signal liver or immune disorders.
