Liver Test
GetTested’s Liver Test provides a detailed assessment of liver function by measuring five key biomarkers: GGT, ALT, AST, ALP, and Bilirubin. These values help detect early signs of liver stress or damage, monitor the impact of lifestyle factors such as alcohol, diet, and medication use, and support the evaluation of chronic conditions. The liver plays a vital role in detoxification, energy metabolism, and digestion, making its health central to overall wellbeing.
For those seeking an even broader analysis, GetTested also offers a combined test that measures both liver and kidney function.

Liver Test
The Liver Test provides an overview of liver function by measuring five key biomarkers in blood: GGT, ALT, AST, ALP, and Bilirubin. These markers help assess liver health, detect early signs of liver damage, and monitor conditions that may affect liver function.
What does the test measure?
- Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT): An enzyme elevated in bile duct or liver disease, often associated with alcohol use or bile obstruction.
- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT): A liver enzyme that rises when liver cells are damaged, often linked to hepatitis, fatty liver, or medication effects.
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST): Another enzyme reflecting liver cell injury; used together with ALT to evaluate the degree and type of liver damage.
- Alkaline phosphatase (ALP): An enzyme associated with bile ducts; elevated levels may indicate bile flow obstruction or certain bone conditions.
- Bilirubin: A breakdown product of red blood cells; high levels may indicate liver dysfunction, bile duct obstruction, or increased red blood cell breakdown.
When is liver testing relevant?
Liver testing may be considered if you experience symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes), dark urine, or pale stools. It is also useful for individuals with risk factors such as high alcohol intake, obesity, metabolic syndrome, viral hepatitis, or long-term medication use. Regular monitoring is important for those with chronic liver conditions.
Why is liver health important?
The liver plays a central role in detoxification, digestion, energy metabolism, and hormone balance. Early detection of liver abnormalities can prevent progression to more severe conditions such as cirrhosis, liver failure, or liver cancer.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
