Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.

Overview

The ELFT test is like having a comprehensive check-up for your body's internal chemistry lab and one of its most important organs – your liver. This test measures essential minerals called electrolytes (think of them as your body's electrical conductors that keep your heart beating and muscles working) along with special proteins called liver enzymes that show how well your liver is functioning. Just as you might check both the oil and engine performance in your car, this test examines both the chemical balance that keeps your cells running smoothly and the health of your liver, which works like your body's main filtration and processing center.

When your electrolytes are out of balance, you might feel tired, weak, or experience muscle cramps – similar to how electronic devices malfunction when their batteries run low. Meanwhile, elevated liver enzymes can signal that your liver is under stress or potentially damaged, much like warning lights on your car's dashboard. This test is particularly valuable if you're experiencing unexplained fatigue, have a history of liver problems, take medications that might affect your liver, or if your doctor wants to investigate symptoms like persistent tiredness or abdominal discomfort. By getting a clear picture of both your metabolic balance and liver health in one comprehensive test, you and your healthcare provider can better understand what's happening inside your body and take appropriate steps to optimize your overall wellness.

Symptoms

Essential for individuals with liver symptoms, metabolic concerns, dehydration issues, or anyone needing a comprehensive metabolic and liver health assessment, including tests for bilirubin and albumin levels.

Questions

  • Abnormal electrolytes may indicate dehydration, kidney problems, hormonal disorders, or conditions affecting fluid and mineral balance.
  • Elevated liver enzymes may suggest liver damage, inflammation, or disease requiring further evaluation and treatment.
  • Causes include dehydration, kidney disease, medications, hormonal disorders, and conditions affecting fluid and mineral regulation.

Complete Analysis

Biomarkers Tested

This package measures the core biomarkers influencing your health and well-being. Essential for identifying issues and tracking changes over time.

How to prepare

Take a sample before 10 a.m. Fast for 8-12 hours before testing. Drink 1-2 glasses of water upon waking. Avoid training 24-48 hours prior to the test, especially if you are scheduled for LFTs. Inform your healthcare provider of medications, especially if you are undergoing a pathology test for liver health.

After the test

Address abnormal ELFT through treatment of underlying liver or kidney disorders, electrolyte replacement if needed, lifestyle modifications, and appropriate medical management. Work with specialists for complex cases.

Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.

Understanding results

Results show electrolyte and liver enzyme levels compared to normal ranges. Abnormal values may indicate liver disease, electrolyte imbalances, or metabolic disorders requiring further evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most collection centres accept walk-ins. Some may require a booking - check details when you click on your chosen location.

If your test needs fasting, we’ll include that in your instructions after you order. Fasting usually means no food for 8–12 hours, but water is fine.

Just your pathology referral form (we email it to you)
