Check your liver health at home with a quick blood test. Measures ALT, AST, ALP, GGT & more. Fast UK lab results with private, secure online reporting.
Your liver is one of the most important organs in your body, responsible for detoxifying the blood, metabolising nutrients, and supporting overall health. The Liver Function Test (LFT) panel from Repose Healthcare offers a fast, accurate, and private way to assess liver health from the comfort of your home.
This simple finger-prick blood test measures a panel of key markers to detect early signs of liver damage, inflammation, or disease.
A liver function test is a group of blood tests that assess how well your liver is working. The panel typically measures:
ALT (Alanine Transaminase): Elevated levels may indicate liver damage.
AST (Aspartate Transaminase): Helps identify liver and muscle injury.
ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase): Can indicate bile duct or liver disease.
Bilirubin: High levels may signal liver or bile duct issues.
Albumin & Total Protein: Low levels may suggest poor liver function.
GGT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase): Used to detect bile duct problems or excessive alcohol use.
Together, these markers provide a detailed overview of your liver’s health.
Your liver works hard every day, but early liver damage often has no symptoms. Testing regularly can help detect:
Fatty liver disease (linked to obesity, diabetes, alcohol)
Alcohol-related liver damage
Viral hepatitis (Hepatitis B or C)
Autoimmune liver disease
Medication side effects (e.g., statins, paracetamol)
Obstructed bile ducts or gallbladder problems
Early detection allows for lifestyle changes or medical treatment before irreversible damage occurs.
You may consider taking a liver function test if you experience:
Persistent fatigue or weakness
Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice)
Abdominal pain or swelling
Dark urine or pale stools
Loss of appetite
Unexplained weight loss
Nausea or vomiting
Even without symptoms, those with risk factors (e.g., regular alcohol consumption, diabetes, obesity) benefit from regular liver health checks.
This test is recommended for people who:
Consume alcohol regularly
Have a family history of liver disease
Are overweight or have type 2 diabetes
Take medications that affect the liver
Have been exposed to hepatitis viruses
Have abnormal cholesterol or triglycerides
Experience unexplained fatigue or digestive symptoms

1. What does a liver function test check for?
A liver function test measures multiple biomarkers including ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, bilirubin, albumin, and total protein. Together, they provide a detailed picture of how well your liver is working and can help detect liver damage, inflammation, or bile duct problems.
2. Can I take a liver function test at home?
Yes. Repose Healthcare offers a simple, at-home finger-prick blood test kit. You collect a small blood sample, return it using the prepaid envelope, and receive secure online results within a few working days.
3. Who should have a liver function test?
Liver function tests are recommended for people with risk factors such as regular alcohol use, obesity, diabetes, viral hepatitis exposure, or those taking medications that may affect the liver. They are also useful if you experience symptoms like fatigue, jaundice, or abdominal pain.
4. How do I prepare for a liver function test?
For most people, no special preparation is needed. However, it’s best to take the test in the morning and avoid heavy alcohol consumption for at least 24 hours before collecting your sample, as alcohol can affect your results.
5. What happens if my liver function test is abnormal?
If your results are outside the normal range, it does not always mean you have serious liver disease. Some levels can be temporarily affected by medication, exercise, or diet. We recommend discussing abnormal results with your GP, who may suggest repeat testing or further investigation.
