Advice for Liver Testing
The liver plays a central role in the body, filtering toxins, producing proteins, aiding digestion, and processing many medications. Because it can continue functioning even when partially affected by an underlying issue, liver problems don't always cause obvious symptoms early on, which is why testing can be a useful way to check in on your liver health.
Our Liver Function Test checks a range of markers that reflect how well your liver is working, including proteins it produces and enzymes that can indicate strain or damage.
Testing is commonly used:
- As part of a general health check
- Before starting certain medications that are processed by the liver
- As ongoing monitoring if you're taking a medication known to affect liver function
- If you have symptoms or a history that suggests liver health may need checking
Choose from two convenient at-home collection methods:
- Finger Prick Kit a quick, simple sample taken from your fingertip
- Tasso / Autodraw Kit a needle-free device applied to your upper arm that gently draws a blood sample
Both collection methods are analysed to the same laboratory standard. Your results are reviewed by our clinical team and made available securely online.
Liver Testing FAQs (5)
The liver is involved in filtering toxins, producing proteins, and processing many medications. A liver function test gives a snapshot of how well it's currently working, which can be useful for general health checks, before starting certain medications, or for ongoing monitoring.
Not necessarily. The liver can continue functioning even when partially affected, so issues aren't always noticeable early on. This is one reason testing can be useful even without symptoms.
This test measures a panel of liver-related markers, including proteins and enzymes, to give a picture of how well your liver is currently functioning.
Both use the same lab analysis, so your results are equally reliable. Finger Prick uses a small lancet on your fingertip. Tasso uses a small device on your upper arm that gently draws a liquid blood sample without a finger prick, which some people find more comfortable.
Results are typically available within a few working days after your sample reaches the lab.
