Essential information about your test

What's in the test

What we measure:

  • Bilirubin - Bilirubin is a substance your body makes when it breaks down old red blood cells. It's processed by your liver and eventually leaves your body through urine and stool. If bilirubin levels build up, it can be a sign your liver isn’t clearing it properly, something that may cause yellowing of the skin or eyes. It’s also the reason bruises can look yellow as they heal.
  • ALP - Alkaline Phosphatase is an enzyme found in several parts of the body, including the liver, bones, and bile ducts. In liver health, it helps move substances through the bile ducts.
  • ALT - Alanine Aminotransferase is an enzyme mostly found in liver cells. When the liver is damaged or inflamed from things like fatty liver, hepatitis, or alcohol use ALT can leak into the bloodstream. That’s why it’s a key marker for spotting liver cell injury. Regular testing can help you catch liver stress early, even if you’re not feeling any symptoms.
  • AST - AST is an enzyme found in the liver but also in the heart, muscles, and other tissues. While it’s not as liver specific as ALT, it’s still an important part of assessing liver health. When liver cells are damaged, AST can rise, and when measured alongside other enzymes, it helps build a clearer picture of what might be affecting your liver.
  • GGT - GGT is a liver enzyme that plays a role in processing toxins and moving substances through the liver and bile ducts. It’s especially sensitive to alcohol use and certain medications.
  • Total Protein - Total protein gives an overall picture of the protein levels in your blood, made up mainly of two types - albumin and globulin. These proteins do all sorts of essential jobs: from carrying nutrients around your body to supporting your immune system. If your total protein levels are too high or too low, it could be a sign that something’s off with your nutrition, liver, or kidneys.
  • Albumin - Albumin is a protein made by your liver that helps keep everything in balance. It holds fluid inside your blood vessels, so it doesn’t leak into other parts of your body, and it also acts like a transport system - carrying things like vitamins, hormones, and even medications through your bloodstream. Healthy albumin levels are a good sign that your liver is working well and that your body is getting the nutrition/hormones it needs to heal, grow, and stay energised
  • Globulin - Globulins are a group of proteins in your blood that help with some of your body’s most important jobs. They support your immune system by fighting off infections, help move nutrients like iron around, and even play a role in keeping your blood healthy. Some globulins act as antibodies - your body’s natural defence system. Checking globulin levels can give insight into how well your immune system and liver are doing.
