About this test

  • Fatigue or persistent low energy
  • Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right side
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Loss of appetite or unintended weight loss

Recommended for individuals experiencing fatigue, abdominal discomfort, nausea, or signs of liver stress such as jaundice or dark urine. Ideal for those with a history of liver conditions, high alcohol intake, or long-term medication use that may affect the liver. Also suitable for individuals with metabolic risk factors, chronic infections like hepatitis, or those taking a proactive approach to monitoring liver health—even if no symptoms are currently present.

  • Liver inflammation or damage (e.g. hepatitis A, B, or C)
  • Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
  • Alcohol-related liver disease
  • Drug- or toxin-induced liver injury
  • Cirrhosis or liver scarring
  • Metabolic syndrome-related liver issues
  • Obesity-related liver stress
  • Autoimmune hepatitis
  • Monitoring liver effects of long-term medication use
  • Silent or asymptomatic liver dysfunction
