How At-Home Liver Testing Works
A high-quality liver function test at home should be simple, precise, and repeatable. With Choose Health, the process is straightforward from start to finish. Order your at-home liver test kit and receive sterile lancets, a DBS card, step-by-step instructions, and a prepaid return mailer. Wash and warm your hands, perform a quick finger-prick, and place a few drops of blood onto the collection circles. Let the card air-dry completely (critical for accurate analysis), seal it, and drop it in the mail.
For the most representative numbers, hydrate well, fast for about eight hours unless advised otherwise, and avoid intense workouts the day before (vigorous exercise can temporarily elevate AST and ALT). When your panel is processed, you’ll get an email to view results in the Choose Health dashboard. There, you’ll see the core markers used in liver function testing at home: ALT and AST reflect hepatocellular stress; GGT can signal oxidative stress or bile flow issues; bilirubin trends help contextualize hemolysis and cholestasis patterns; albumin offers a lens on liver protein synthesis and overall nutritional status.
What makes this at-home liver test especially useful is the combination of interpretation and trending. Your dashboard summarizes results in plain language, highlights what’s in or out of range, and visualizes progress across retests. Many customers establish a baseline now and retest in eight to twelve weeks after specific changes - such as reducing alcohol, improving diet quality, losing visceral fat, or prioritizing sleep - to see how their liver enzymes respond. If values remain persistently elevated, your downloadable report makes it easy to share results with a clinician for personalized guidance.
