Overview

Your liver is like a sophisticated chemical processing plant working around the clock to keep you healthy, handling over 500 different jobs from filtering toxins out of your blood to producing the proteins your body needs to function. Think of liver function tests as a comprehensive inspection of this vital factory – they measure specific enzymes that leak into your bloodstream when liver cells are damaged, proteins that show how well your liver is manufacturing essential components, and waste products like bilirubin that can build up and cause yellowing of your skin and eyes if your liver isn't processing them properly.

What makes liver monitoring so important is that your liver is incredibly resilient and can keep working even when significantly damaged, often without causing obvious symptoms until problems become serious. These tests act like an early warning system, catching issues before you feel sick, whether they're caused by medications, infections, lifestyle factors like alcohol, or conditions like fatty liver disease. By getting a clear picture of how well your internal processing plant is running, you and your healthcare provider can address any concerns early and keep this hardworking organ functioning at its best.

Symptoms

Suited to people wanting a complete overview of liver health, monitoring the liver effects of long-term medications, investigating symptoms such as fatigue, jaundice, nausea, or abdominal discomfort, or following up on a previous abnormal liver result. The LFT is also commonly ordered as part of a routine health check.

Questions

  • Elevated liver enzymes indicate liver cell damage or inflammation. Common causes include alcohol, medications, viral hepatitis, fatty liver disease, or autoimmune conditions. Further testing is needed to determine the specific cause.
  • Yes, many medications can elevate liver enzymes, including pain relievers, antibiotics, cholesterol medications, and herbal supplements. Always inform your doctor about all medications and supplements you're taking.
  • Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is increasingly common and can progress to serious liver damage if left untreated. Early stages are often reversible with diet, exercise, and weight management.
  • Yes, alcohol can significantly affect liver enzymes and should be avoided for 24-48 hours before testing for accurate results. Your doctor may recommend longer abstinence periods.
  • Maintain healthy weight, exercise regularly, limit alcohol consumption, eat a balanced diet, avoid unnecessary medications, and get vaccinated against hepatitis A and B.
  • Frequency depends on risk factors and existing conditions. Healthy adults may test annually, while those with liver disease or taking liver-affecting medications may need more frequent monitoring.

8 Biomarkers Tested

How to prepare

Fasting for 8-12 hours recommended for most accurate results, particularly for bilirubin and protein measurements. Avoid alcohol for 24-48 hours before testing. Inform your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements as many can affect liver enzymes. Stay hydrated but avoid excessive water intake immediately before testing.

After the test

Share your results with your GP or relevant specialist. If one or more markers are outside the reference range, your practitioner may request further blood tests, imaging, or specialist review.

If all markers are within range but you have ongoing symptoms, your practitioner may investigate other causes.

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

Each marker in the LFT panel has its own reference range:

- ALT and AST: liver enzymes that rise when liver cells are damaged
- GGT: sensitive to bile duct stress and alcohol use
- ALP: elevated in bile duct obstruction and some bone conditions
- Bilirubin: raised levels can cause jaundice
- Albumin: reflects liver protein production
- Total protein: combined albumin and globulin

Your practitioner will look at the pattern of results alongside your symptoms, medications, and health history.

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.

After turning 40, I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to drop dead from something basic I should have known about earlier.
