What's included
3 deliverables in this treatment
- ALT (GPT)
- AST (GOT)
- GGT
Focused liver function assessment measuring the three key hepatic enzymes: ALT, AST, and GGT. At 101 CZK (~4 EUR), one of the cheapest liver screens available anywhere in Central Europe — ideal for routine monitoring or screening patients on hepatotoxic medications.
About this treatment
This three-enzyme panel provides the essential assessment of liver function used in routine clinical practice worldwide. ALT (alanine aminotransferase) is the most liver-specific of the three — it is found predominantly in hepatocytes and is released into the bloodstream when liver cells are damaged. Mild ALT elevation (1-3x upper normal) is the most common biochemical abnormality in the general population, most frequently caused by non-alcoholic fatty…
AST (aspartate aminotransferase) is found in liver, cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, kidneys, and brain. While less liver-specific than ALT, the AST:ALT ratio provides diagnostic information — a ratio above 2 strongly suggests alcohol-related liver disease, while a ratio below 1 is typical of NAFLD. In advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis, the ratio tends to rise above 1 regardless of aetiology.
GGT (gamma-glutamyl transferase) is the most sensitive indicator of biliary disease and is particularly responsive to alcohol intake — even moderate alcohol consumption causes GGT elevation in many individuals. Isolated GGT elevation with normal ALT and AST is one of the most common incidental findings in routine blood work and frequently reflects alcohol use or medication effects rather than significant liver disease.

Panel categories
Biomarkers tested
8The most abundant protein in blood, produced by the liver. Albumin maintains blood volume and pressure, and transports hormones, vitamins, and drugs. Low levels indicate liver disease, kidney disease, malnutrition, or chronic inflammation.
Bilirubin is a substance produced during the normal breakdown of red blood cells. High levels can lead to jaundice and indicate liver or bile duct problems.
Component of vitamin B12, essential for red blood cell formation and nerve function.
Elevated levels may indicate a liver or bile duct blockage.
A liver enzyme sensitive to alcohol use and bile duct problems. GGT is often the first liver enzyme to rise when bile ducts are blocked. Combined with ALP, it helps determine whether elevated ALP is from liver or bone.
Indicates potential yeast overgrowth.
Imbalances in gut pH influence short-chain fatty acid production and their effects.
Measures the combined amount of albumin and globulin proteins in your blood. These proteins are essential for fighting infections, blood clotting, and transporting substances throughout the body.
