Liver Function Test

AST (Asparate Aminotransferase)

AST is one of the two major liver enzymes and is crucial for amino acid metabolism. AST is released into the bloodstream when liver cells are damaged.

ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase)

ALT is the second major liver enzyme and it's role is to convert proteins into energy inside the liver. ALT is also released into the bloodstream when liver cells are damaged.

AST:ALT Ratio

The ratio of the serum aspartate to alanine amino-transferase levels (AST/ALT) is often used as a clue to the etiology of the underlying liver disease.

GGT (Gamma Glutamyl Transferase)

GGT is an enzyme found in high levels in the liver, kidney, pancreas, heart, and brain. It is a measurement for oxidative stress and can help detect diseases in the liver or bile ducts.

Average Blood Sugars (HBA1C)

Average blood glucose (sugar) levels for the last two to three months. It is measured by HBA1C levels and is used as a risk factor for diabetes or prediabetes.

Inflammation (HSCRP)

Highly sensitive C-Reactive Protein measures general levels of inflammation in your body and can assess the risk or presence of liver fibrosis, chronic liver disease and other issues.

Visceral Fat

Visceral Fat is stored around your internal organs, including your heart, liver and intestines. Visceral fat makes chemicals and hormones that can be toxic to the body.
