Learn more about your risk for liver disease with this accurate, reliable liver health test.

This liver test gives you insight into how your largest internal organ is functioning. From metabolizing toxins and fighting illness—to producing vital proteins and storing energy—liver function contributes to your overall health. Liver problems can be caused by a variety of factors such as viruses, heavy alcohol use and obesity. This comprehensive liver test checks the levels of certain enzymes, proteins, cell counts in your blood and includes a risk calculation called the FIB-4 score based on these levels – providing you a more advanced picture of your liver health.

 

Often symptoms of liver disease are silent, which is why it is important to get tested.

 

The Liver Health Test from Labcorp OnDemand is a blood test that measures liver enzymes and proteins and produces a reliable score to help screen for liver fibrosis (scar tissue in the liver) for those with certain risk factors.  Get a more advanced view of your liver health and screen for evidence of liver inflammation or indications of liver disease or fibrosis.

 

An estimated 1 in 4 U.S. adults has nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).¹ NAFLD and its advanced form, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), can occur when excess fat builds up in the liver despite little to no alcohol intake. There are certain risk factors that increase your risk of NAFLD and NASH:

 

  • Excess weight or obesity
  • High blood sugar (hyperglycemia), indicating prediabetes or diabetes
  • High levels of fats—particularly triglycerides—in the blood

 

Note: This test is not intended to diagnose any liver disease, including NAFLD or NASH.

What Does This Test Measure?

 

The Liver Health Test informs you about your estimated risk of liver fibrosis (scar tissue). Using a combination of your age and blood test results, the FIB-4 calculation generates a number, or a “score.” This score can help you and your healthcare provider determine your risk of developing liver fibrosis which is a potential complication of a variety of liver conditions including NAFLD, Hep B, Hep C and others.

 

While the FIB-4 test does not measure other factors that are important for the diagnosis of NAFLD and NASH1, it’s an excellent starting point for discussion with your provider and can help get you on the right track if further testing and evaluation is needed.

 

Like many diseases, the names and descriptions used can change over time. It should be noted that the terminology for NASH and NAFLD are in the process of being updated to better reflect the underlying cause of the disease.3 You may see or hear Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) being used by your healthcare provider. 

What's Tested
  • Bilirubin

    A waste product produced by the liver as it breaks down red blood cells.

  • Total Protein

    The total amount of proteins (including albumin) found in the blood that helps determine overall nutritional status.

  • Albumin

    The main protein that circulates in the blood.

  • Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)

    An enzyme found mostly in the cells of the liver and kidney.

  • Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST)

    An enzyme found in the cells throughout the body but primarily in the cells of the liver.

  • Alkaline Phosphatase

    An enzyme found in the cells of the liver and other tissue.

  • Platelets

    Blood cells that help your body form clots to stop bleeding.

  • FIB-4

    A score calculated based on age, platelet count, AST and ALT levels to detect liver fibrosis.
