Liver Function Tests (Venous)

Liver Function Tests (Venous) assess a set of enzymes and proteins—such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bilirubin and albumin—that together provide a picture of liver performance. These markers may support conversations about medication safety, alcohol use, or liver disease risk. The test is appropriate for adults undergoing routine health checks or those on long‑term medication. A venous blood sample is taken, and the laboratory fee is £63 plus a £50 phlebotomy charge per visit. Results are delivered within a short turnaround, accompanied by a written report and a brief clinician‑led review. This panel is unique in focusing on hepatic biomarkers and includes a specific phlebotomy cost not shared by other panels.
