Liver Check by GetTested: In-Depth Liver Health Analysis GetTested’s Liver Check is an at-home blood test offering a detailed assessment of your liver function. By analysing key parameters, it provides insights into your liver health. Check liver health now and detect potential liver issues early on. Test Parameters: ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase): Indicates liver cell damage. Elevated levels can signal liver inflammation or damage. ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase): High ALP levels can suggest bile duct issues or liver abnormalities. TBIL (Total Bilirubin): Assesses bilirubin levels. High TBIL can indicate liver dysfunction or jaundice. GGT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase): Used to detect liver damage. Elevated GGT can be associated with liver disease or excessive alcohol intake. TP (Total Protein): Measures albumin and globulin levels, providing an overview of liver function and nutritional status. Albumin: A major liver-produced protein. Low albumin levels can indicate liver dysfunction. Globulin: Involves in liver function, immune response, and more. Variations may suggest different liver conditions. The importance of a Liver Check Test The liver is one of the most important organs in the body and performs over 300 different functions. It also aids other organs in performing their functions as well. All blood leaving the intestines and stomach passes through the liver. This blood is processed by the liver. It breaks down the nutrients and chemicals in the blood, to make them easier to process by the body. If your liver is damaged, that means it’s not able to process the blood well. By taking a liver check test, you can find out if you have liver damage or liver disease and find the cause of your symptoms. Early detection of liver damage is crucial, so you may be able to find treatment accordingly and prevent the liver from becoming more damaged. Symptoms of liver problems In its earlier stages, liver damage causes almost no symptoms, but as the damage worsens, symptoms may arise. Long-term damage of the liver is referred to as Cirrhosis, which means the liver is scarred. Symptoms of early Cirrhosis include: Tiredness Loss of appetite Weight loss and loss of muscle mass Feeling unwell or sick Pain in the liver area Skin and whites of the eye becoming yellow Red palms If Cirrhosis gets worse, more symptoms will arise such as: Itchy skin Swelling of legs, feet, ankles and abdomen Fatigue and dizziness Rapid heartbeat Frequent nosebleeds and trouble stopping bleeding Insomnia Memory loss If you are suffering from any of the following severe symptoms, you should see a doctor immediately: Vomiting blood, Dark stool Mental confusions High fever and shivering Shortness of breath When the liver is unable to remove the toxins from the blood, the toxins spread around the body to different organs, causing damage and leading to all these symptoms. In the worst case, it can cause organ failure, resulting in death. That's why taking care of the liver is so important. Liver health should be taken very seriously. A liver check test can provide useful information, so you can take the necessary steps to improve your liver health. After the liver check test: Improving liver health There are many ways you can naturally improve your liver health or slow down the scarring of the liver. Below are some tips: Exercise: regular exercise helps remove liver fat. Eat healthy: avoid fatty food and high calories. Instead opt for vegetables (like artichokes, brussels sprouts and broccoli sprouts), fruits (like blueberries and cranberries), whole grains, lean meat, nuts and seeds. Manage your alcohol consumption: the liver sees alcohol as a toxin and will try to break it down. The more alcohol you drink, the more difficult it becomes for the liver to break it down. This can result in cell damage. Drink coffee and tea: coffee can help decrease the risk of cirrhosis and tea has great health benefits overall, including promoting liver health. Eat grapefruit: grapefruits contain powerful antioxidants and can help improve a typical person's liver health (eating grapefruit after liver transplant is not recommended).
