The body’s hardest-working chemistry set
Liver
Your liver quietly handles hundreds of jobs, from processing nutrients and filtering toxins to making proteins and helping your blood to clot. When it is inflamed or under strain, certain enzymes and proteins in your blood shift in telltale ways, often long before you notice anything is wrong. This panel measures seven of those markers to build a clear picture of your liver health.
From the enzymes ALT, ALP and gamma GT to proteins such as albumin, globulin and bilirubin, each marker adds a piece to the picture. Your sample is a single venous draw taken in our private Leigh-on-Sea clinic and analysed by an accredited UK laboratory, with every result reviewed and explained in a doctor’s report.
It is a thoughtful check if you are mindful of your alcohol intake, taking long-term medication, or want reassurance. The results will not diagnose a condition on their own, but they offer a clear read on how your liver is coping, and a sensible basis for any conversation with your GP about lifestyle or next steps.
Preparation: No fasting is required. Where possible, avoid alcohol for at least 72 hours before your draw, as recent drinking can temporarily affect some liver markers.

About this test
It looks at enzymes and proteins whose levels change when the liver is irritated or damaged. Together they show how well your liver is functioning, though they will not identify a specific cause by themselves.
Yes, where you can. Avoiding alcohol for at least 72 hours before your draw helps ensure your results reflect your liver’s usual state rather than a recent drink.
Most reports are returned within 5–7 working days of your sample reaching the laboratory, reviewed and explained by a doctor.
