What is the LFT Liver Function Blood Test?

The Liver is a major organ, part of the digestive tract, with more than 500 essential functions for everyday life.

Metabolic
Secretory
Immunising
Excretory
Other Functions.

And why get one?

The Profile determines how well the organ works and whether it lacks certain enzymes.

And, therefore sampling is recommended in the following situations:

Determination of damage.
Monitoring the side effects on the body.
You have symptoms of a problem.
Suffer from specific diabetes.
Excessive alcohol consumption.
You have a family history of liver disease.

Therefore, a panel profile of 6 in-1 kit is needed. Thus, our health check with results in 1-3 days and includes:

6 BioMarkers:

Total Bilirubin.
ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase).
ALT (Alanine Transferase).
Albumin.
Total Protein.
AST.

liver blood work dysfunction ordering Step 1

Order your kit online and once it arrive collect your sample at home.

Then, drop off the Kit in the morning to the Royal Mail Red Street Box. Use the Track24/48 Return Label to the Lab.

Lastly, once your results are ready, we will send you an email with your Result. Also you can view the report in your Dashboard.

What are the Instructions?

Please take your sample in the morning.

When collecting your blood sample, try these tips:

Drink plenty of water. Being well-hydrated will make it easier to collect your sample.
You can also shower before you take your test or run your hands under warm water for a few minutes, as heat improves flow.
Do light exercise (move around, walk, etc.) to get it flowing.
And ensure your arm is below your heart level – let gravity do some of the work.
Nails that are too long can make it difficult to collect a sample.
Do not shake the sample vigorously, but gently invert the tube ten times (gently swirling the tube after each drop).
Also, do not squeeze the finger (milk).
Rewarm your hands during collection where needed.

Laboratory Scientists take care of your samples.

The Medicines Online clinic can also be used in the Battersea/Clapham Junction area. It is 2 mins from the tube. Therefore, easy access for Londoners or visitors to London means an easy and fast testing solution with our quick results policy. Furthermore, the clinic staff directly communicate with laboratory staff on site due to the convenient location. Thus, your LFT Profile sample will be processed quickly and without clotting issues from any transportation or heat issues.

Our Liver Function Test instructions are here.

So please view the Home Liver instructions on taking a sample from your liver blood kit at home.

Interpretations

What is the Scientific Data from Instrument and Reagent Supplier?

Technology Method:

Fully automatic biochemistry analyser

Limit of Detection:

Albumin: 10 g/L
ALP: 1 U/L
ALT: 10 U/L
AST: 10 U/L
Total Bilirubin: 1.71 umol/L
Total Protein: 2 g/L

Accuracy and Precision:

Albumin: The approximate error is < ± 4%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 3%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 5%.
ALP: The approximate error is < ± 10%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 1.10%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 1.83%.
ALT: The approximate error is < ± 15%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 5%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 10%.
AST: The approximate error is < ± 10%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 5%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 6%.
Total Bilirubin: The approximate error is < ± 10%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 2.53%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 2.80%.
Total Protein: The approximate error is < ± 4%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 3%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 3%.

Measuring Ranges:

Albumin: 10~60 g/L
ALP: 1~1200 U/L
ALT: 10~800 U/L
AST: 10~800 U/L
Total Bilirubin: 1.71~684 umol/L
Total Protein: 2~100 g/L

Validation-Active Information:

EQA: Yes
Inter-laboratory validations
- Periodic according to the validation schedule
- Event-triggered- Qc/Calibration/New materials/Batch

Accuracy and Precision:

The Liver Function Blood test accuracy relies on the approximate error percentage. This percentage is the percentage deviation from the actual result. The precision relies on the within-assay coefficient of variations and the between-assay coefficient. The within-assay coefficient of variations is the variance of the result value if the same test was analysed again. The between assay coefficient is the variance of the result value if the same sample was reprocessed from the beginning again.

In-range results:

Albumin:

34~48 g/L

ALP:

Females
- Aged 20~50 years old: 42-98 U/L
- Greater than 60 years old: 53~141 U/L
Males:
- Aged 20~50 years old: 53-128 U/L
- Greater than 60 years old: 56~119 U/L

ALT:

Females: 5~35 U/L
Males: 5~40 U/L

AST:

8~40 U/L

Total Bilirubin:

3.4~20.5 umol/L

Total Protein:

60~83 g/L
