Your liver plays a vital role in keeping your body healthy, from filtering toxins to supporting digestion and metabolism. When your liver is not working properly, it can affect your energy levels, weight, and overall wellness without showing early symptoms. This is why staying informed about your liver health is essential, even if you feel perfectly fine. Today, at-home liver tests make it easier than ever to monitor important biomarkers without visiting a clinic. With just a small blood sample, you can get insights into how well your liver is functioning and identify potential issues before they become serious. This article will guide you through why liver health matters, common signs of liver concerns, and how simple at-home testing can help you stay proactive. Understanding your results empowers you to make informed lifestyle choices and take control of your long-term health.
Why Is Liver Health Important?
The liver performs many essential functions in the body. It produces bile, a substance that helps break down fats and oils in food. It also removes toxins and produces proteins, some of which help with blood clotting. The liver also helps regulate hormones and converts carbohydrates and proteins into energy. If this organ is unhealthy, these processes are impaired and can result in serious health problems such as jaundice, cirrhosis, hepatitis, and even cancer.
Unfortunately, many people don't realize the importance of their livers until they start producing symptoms. With Choose Health's home liver test, you can take steps to prevent potential damage or deterioration. Our test will offer you a detailed overview of your liver health, allowing you to make any necessary changes.
How To Do an At Home Liver Test?
Doing a home liver test with Choose Health is straightforward. Our kit comes with the necessary supplies to collect your blood sample. It also has a tape measure for measuring visceral fat. The kit carries instructions to help you throughout the process, but here are some basic steps you can expect to follow:
1. Prick your finger: Use the supplied needle to prick your finger. That will draw a small blood sample. Collect the blood using the vials included in the kit. You may feel a slight pinch and pressure when pricking your finger, but it should be bearable. Prick the sides of your finger rather than the tip. The tip is more painful and may not produce enough blood. The sides have more veins close to the surface and may be less painful.
2. Mail in your sample: Our kit contains a pre-paid shipping envelope, so you can easily mail in your blood sample. We recommend sending the sample as soon as possible for more accurate results. The lab should be able to process your sample within a few days.
3. Get results: After the lab has processed your sample, we will send you a detailed report of your results. The report will include an assessment of your liver, showing biomarkers in the optimal range and those out of range. You can learn more about each individual marker to understand how it affects your liver health. The results will also have recommendations for improvement.
