This profile gives an overall picture of your liver health and whether it is functioning at optimal levels. The liver is responsible for detoxing the body through filtration of the blood and breaking down harmful substances before removing them from the body. It maintains balance within the body by closely monitoring your toxicity levels, metabolising foreign substances and producing and storing the required vitamins and minerals into your bloodstream. When your liver isn’t functioning optimally it can impact how you feel drastically. The symptoms may include nausea and vomiting, tiredness/fatigue, lack of appetite and a general feeling of weakness.

Take the form to one of our affiliated collection centres to have your blood sample taken.
Your sample will be tested at our in-house laboratory and we will email you to make a results appointment.
DEPENDING ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE TESTING PROFILES YOU HAVE REQUESTED, RESULTS CAN TAKE UP TO 3 WEEKS.
ALT is an enzyme found predominantly in your liver. When your liver cells are damaged, they release ALT into the bloodstream. The symptoms of high ALT are nausea and vomiting, tiredness/fatigue, lack of appetite and a general feeling of weakness. This test can also indicate larger health concerns even before the symptoms make themselves known.
AST is another liver enzyme, but is also found in your muscles and other organs. When cell damage occurs the cells release AST into the blood (if they contain it). Testing for this marker helps us determine your overall liver health and may also indicate the presence of other health concerns.
GGT is also a liver enzyme, that is released into your bloodstream when your liver is damaged. In addition to detecting your overall liver health, testing for GGT can also help us identify any damage to your bile ducts.
