Take control of your liver's health with Labcorp OnDemand’s comprehensive tests


The liver is a vital organ that performs numerous essential functions in the body, including detoxification, immune defense, protein synthesis and energy storage. Labcorp OnDemand offers three important liver function tests that may detect potential liver issues before symptoms become apparent. These blood tests for liver function allow for early intervention and management of liver-related conditions. Since liver disease symptoms are often silent, it's important to talk with your healthcare provider to determine if liver function tests are appropriate for you in monitoring your liver health.

Liver Health Test: This comprehensive blood test measures various liver enzymes and proteins, providing a detailed assessment of your liver function. It includes the FIB-4 score, which helps screen for liver fibrosis (scar tissue in the liver) for those with certain risk factors. 

 

GGT Test: This test measures the levels of gamma-glutamyl transferase, an enzyme primarily found in the liver. Elevated GGT levels may indicate potential liver damage or bile duct issues, making it a valuable tool for early detection of liver issues and other various health conditions

 

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel: This test measures essential components in your blood that contribute to your overall health and provides information on the functioning status of your metabolism, liver and kidneys. A CMP test can help your healthcare provider detect health conditions like diabetes, kidney disease and liver inflammation.

FAQ

  • Common liver function tests include ALT, AST, albumin and bilirubin, which are all part of the Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) Test . However, these are just a few tests that can be used to check the liver. Your healthcare provider can provide a recommendation on which tests would be most appropriate based on your health history and risk factors.

    The Labcorp OnDemand Liver Health Test is a comprehensive blood test that checks liver enzymes, proteins and cell counts. It also includes a FIB-4 score to help screen for liver fibrosis.  Habits such as exercise, diet, or drinking too much can all have different impacts on the health of your liver. This liver health test gives key insights to get you on the right track on the journey to a healthier you.

    The GGT Test is another blood test that measures gamma-glutamyl transferase levels to assess liver health. GGT plays a key role in the body's detoxification processes. Elevated levels are associated with diseases and conditions such as liver damage, bile duct issues, hepatitis, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, excessive alcohol consumption, or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Understanding your GGT levels provides insight into your overall liver health and may indicate other various health conditions associated with this liver biomarker.

  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is an enzyme found mostly in the cells of the liver and kidney. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme found in cells throughout the body but primarily in the cells of the liver.  Both ALT and AST biomarkers are included in the Labcorp OnDemand Liver Health Test, which provides a comprehensive assessment of liver function, and they’re also part of the Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) Test.

  • Symptoms of poor liver function may include fatigue, jaundice (yellowing of skin and eyes), abdominal pain and swelling. However, liver problems often don't show symptoms in early stages. That's why liver function tests, like the Labcorp OnDemand Liver Health Test, are important for early detection of liver issues.

  • Abnormal results may indicate that your liver is not working properly and signals potential health problems. You should consult with your healthcare provider about any abnormal results and/or if you are experiencing concerning symptoms.

    High levels of ALT could be a sign of liver damage or infection, among other conditions.

    High levels of AST could be a sign of liver damage or liver inflammation, among other conditions.

  • Abnormal liver results may indicate that there is an impairment in liver function and may be a sign of potential health issues. It is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider about any abnormal results and/or if you are experiencing concerning symptoms. Your healthcare provider may recommend further testing, such as imaging studies or additional blood tests. They might also suggest lifestyle changes like avoiding alcohol intake or losing weight. In some cases, medication or treatment for underlying conditions may be necessary.
