WHAT?
At-home sample collection devices for monitoring liver function. Laboratory results are provided within 5 days.
WHY?
The liver plays a significant role in metabolism, digestion, detoxification and elimination of substances from the body. A liver function test can help diagnose and monitor liver disease or damage by looking at liver enzymes.
WHO & WHEN?
If you consume alcohol regularly or excessively from time to time, or both, it is a good idea to check the health of your liver. If your liver loses its ability to function properly, you are likely to experience:
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea
- Itchy skin
- Chronic fatigue
More serious liver damage will result in symptoms that can include:
- Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
- Vomiting blood
- Dark urine
- Dark, tarry stools
- Build-up of fluid in the legs (oedema) and abdomen (ascites)
HOW?
This sample kit contains a finger-prick blood collection device and clear instructions. With it you can collect a sample at home. Samples are couriered to and tested at the BioSmart accredited pathology laboratory.
Blood is tested for:
- Bilirubin (Total)
- Bilirubin (Direct)
- Total Protein
- Albumin
- Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST)
- Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)
- Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)
