Liver & Kidney Function Test
Get a clear picture of your organ health.
Our Liver and Kidney Function Blood Test lets you monitor the health of these vital organs. It measures key markers including liver proteins, GGT, and ALP for liver health, and creatinine and urea for kidney function, providing reliable insights to help you detect potential issues early and support overall wellbeing. Processed by an accredited NHS laboratory, it provides accurate results and clear guidance for your next steps.

FAQs
How does a blood test work?
Check in at our clinic for your selected appointment date and time. One of our clinicians will take you through a few basic checks, before taking a blood sample from a vein in your arm. The whole process shouldn't take more than 15 minutes.
Afterwards, we'll bring you out to our waiting area, and you are welcome to enjoy a tea or coffee before going about your day. We will send your sample for analysis.
Do I need to prepare for a blood test?
For this blood test, try to limit alcohol consumption for at least 3-4 days beforehand for the most accurate results.
Drinking water is encouraged. Staying well hydrated helps make the blood collection easier. On the day of your appointment, wear a loose-fitting top so your arm is easily accessible.
After booking, you will receive a pre-appointment questionnaire via email - please complete it before attending your appointment.
What do the markers show?
Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT): An enzyme that reflects liver cell health; elevated levels may indicate liver damage or inflammation.
Albumin: A key protein produced by the liver; low levels can signal liver or kidney dysfunction and affect overall fluid balance.
Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP): An enzyme linked to liver and bile duct function; high or low levels can suggest liver disease or bile flow issues.
Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT): Indicates liver and bile duct health; elevated levels may point to liver stress, damage, or excessive alcohol intake.
Globulin (calculated): A group of proteins important for immune and liver function; abnormal levels can reflect liver or kidney disorders.
Total Protein: Measures all proteins in the blood; imbalances may indicate liver or kidney problems affecting protein production or loss.
Creatinine: A waste product filtered by the kidneys; elevated levels can signal reduced kidney function.
eGFR (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate): Assesses how well the kidneys are filtering blood; lower values indicate impaired kidney function.
Urea: A waste product from protein metabolism; high or low levels can reflect kidney function or hydration status.
Uric Acid: Produced during the breakdown of purines; elevated levels can indicate kidney issues or risk of gout.

Who looks at my results?
A GMC registered doctor will first assess your results and write a full report.
As an additional step, one of our consultants will look at your results before they are released to you in case there are any additional recommendations such as ultrasound or further imaging.
