Liver
If you have concerns about your liver health due to lifestyle factors such as drinking too much alcohol, being overweight, taking certain medications or family history of liver disease, these tests are ideal for you.
Worried About Your Liver? Choose Your Liver Blood Test –
Standard or Advanced for Proactive Protection
Your liver works overtime filtering toxins, balancing cholesterol, and keeping you healthy – but alcohol, poor diet, meds, or family history can strain it silently.
No symptoms until nausea, fatigue, jaundice, or swelling hits? Don’t wait. Our at-home Liver Blood Tests detect damage early, empowering changes to avoid serious issues like hepatitis, cirrhosis, or NAFLD.
Pick Standard for core liver checks, or Advanced for liver + cholesterol insights (key for fatty liver risks). Both with a professional nurse at home – get clarity and control.
The Quiet Damage to Your Liver – Why Testing Now Saves Regret
Your liver is a powerhouse: detoxing blood, producing proteins/enzymes, storing nutrients, and regulating cholesterol. But overload from excess alcohol (>14 units/week), obesity, high-fat diets, smoking, inactivity, diabetes, high BP, or meds (e.g., statins/NSAIDs) causes inflammation or fat buildup – often without warning.
The scary part? Early signs like dark urine, pale stools, abdominal pain, fatigue, itchy skin, or easy bruising get dismissed as “stress.” Untreated, it escalates to scarring (fibrosis), NAFLD, or heart risks from cholesterol ties. If you’re overweight, a regular drinker, or have family history, you’re at higher risk – but testing spots abnormalities in enzymes (ALT/AST for cell damage), ALP/GGT (bile blockages), bilirubin (jaundice), and proteins (albumin for repair).
Act before symptoms force your hand – knowledge prevents bigger problems.
Liver Risks Hitting Close to Home? Spot the Triggers
Liver strain doesn’t discriminate – ask yourself:
- Drinking regularly without 2-3 alcohol-free days, or excess units?
- Overweight, poor diet (high saturated fats, low fruit/veg), or sedentary habits?
- Taking liver-affecting meds, or family history of liver/heart disease?
- Symptoms like nausea/vomiting, swelling (abdomen/legs), persistent tiredness, or changes in urine/stools?
These signal potential inflammation, obstruction, or fatty changes.
Our customers catch it early:

Support Your Liver – Simple Changes After Testing
Whether Standard or Advanced, results guide fixes:
- Diet Shifts: Cut saturated fats/alcohol; add fibre-rich fruits/veg for detox.
- Movement: 150+ minutes weekly exercise to burn fat and lower cholesterol.
- Habits: Quit smoking, limit to <14 units alcohol/week, manage weight/diabetes.
- Medical: Share with GP for meds review; retest in 3 months to track.
Advanced adds cholesterol action (e.g., boost HDL “good” via oats/nuts) to protect liver-heart links.
Which Liver Test Fits You? Standard vs. Advanced Comparison
Both use nurse venous draws for accuracy – choose based on needs (same home process, 7-day results).
Standard Liver Health Blood Test
Core focus on liver function. Ideal for routine checks if alcohol/diet/meds are concerns, or spotting inflammation/damage early. (Biomarkers: 6 key liver markers.)
- Best For: Basic monitoring, symptom investigation, or family history without heart risks.
Standard Biomarkers (Liver Function):
- Total Bilirubin: Yellow pigment from red cells; high signals jaundice/blockages.
- Albumin: Liver protein for nutrient transport/tissue repair; low indicates damage.
- Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST): Enzyme in liver/heart; elevated shows inflammation/injury.
- Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP): Bile duct enzyme; rises with obstructions.
- Alanine Transaminase (ALT): Liver-specific; key for cell damage/fibrosis.
- Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT): Alcohol/NAFLD marker; high for bile issues.
Advanced Liver Health Blood Test
Standard + full cholesterol profile. Deeper dive for fatty liver/NAFLD risks, as liver manages “bad” LDL/Non-HDL buildup. (Biomarkers: Standard 6 + 5 cholesterol.)
- Best For: Overweight/diabetic users, high cholesterol family history, or holistic liver-heart protection.
Advanced adds (Cholesterol Profile):
- Total Protein & Globulin: Overall liver/immune health.
- Total Cholesterol: Liver-produced fats; assesses heart-liver balance.
- LDL (Bad): Artery-clogging; links to fatty liver.
- HDL (Good): Protective clearer; low raises risks.
- Non-HDL: Total minus HDL; flags cardiovascular threats.
- Triglycerides: Stored fats; excess from diet ties to NAFLD.
Not sure? 70% start with Standard – upgrade later. Both accredited labs, confidential.
Overcome Doubts – We’re Here to Help
- Basic or Advanced? Standard for liver-only; Advanced if cholesterol/heart concerns (e.g., obesity).
- Accurate? Nurse draws + labs ensure reliability – better than self-tests.
- Symptoms None? Proactive win – prevents silent progression.
- Privacy/Next Steps? Secure, confidential; GP integration for tailored advice.
Protect your liver – and your future – today.
