What's Tested
  • Bilirubin

    A waste product produced by the liver as it breaks down red blood cells.

  • Total Protein

    The total amount of proteins (including albumin) found in the blood that helps determine overall nutritional status.

  • Albumin

    The main protein that circulates in the blood.

  • Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)

    An enzyme found mostly in the cells of the liver and kidney.

  • Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST)

    An enzyme found in the cells throughout the body but primarily in the cells of the liver.

  • Alkaline Phosphatase

    An enzyme found in the cells of the liver and other tissue.

  • Platelets

    Blood cells that help your body form clots to stop bleeding.

  • FIB-4

    A score calculated based on age, platelet count, AST and ALT levels to detect liver fibrosis.

What Does This Test Measure?

 

The Liver Health Test informs you about your estimated risk of liver fibrosis (scar tissue). Using a combination of your age and blood test results, the FIB-4 calculation generates a number, or a “score.” This score can help you and your healthcare provider determine your risk of developing liver fibrosis which is a potential complication of a variety of liver conditions including NAFLD, Hep B, Hep C and others.

 

While the FIB-4 test does not measure other factors that are important for the diagnosis of NAFLD and NASH1, it’s an excellent starting point for discussion with your provider and can help get you on the right track if further testing and evaluation is needed.

 

Like many diseases, the names and descriptions used can change over time. It should be noted that the terminology for NASH and NAFLD are in the process of being updated to better reflect the underlying cause of the disease.3 You may see or hear Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) being used by your healthcare provider.
