The Liver Health - Basic Plus panel contains 6 tests with 66 biomarkers .
Brief Description: The Liver Health - Basic Plus panel expands upon the foundation of liver function testing by adding a Complete Blood Count with Differential and Platelets and Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) to the core tests of Fractionated Bilirubin, Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT), and Lipid Panel with Ratios. This enhanced panel provides a more detailed overview of liver health, including liver enzyme levels, bilirubin processing, and the potential impact on blood cells and lipid metabolism.
Collection Method: Blood Draw
Specimen Type: Whole Blood and Serum
Test Preparation: Fasting for 9 - 12 hours prior to collection is required
When and Why the Liver Health - Basic Plus Panel May Be Ordered
This panel is typically ordered when symptoms such as jaundice, abdominal pain, or unusual fatigue suggest liver dysfunction. It's also used for routine health screenings, particularly in individuals with risk factors for liver disease, such as family history, alcohol use, or obesity, and to monitor the progression or treatment response of known liver conditions.
What the Liver Health - Basic Plus Panel Checks For
- Fractionated Bilirubin: Assesses the breakdown product of red blood cells, providing insights into liver's ability to process waste. Elevated levels may indicate liver damage or bile duct obstruction.
- Complete Blood Count with Differential and Platelets: Evaluates overall blood health, which can be affected by liver function. Abnormalities may reflect underlying liver disease or bone marrow issues.
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP): Offers a snapshot of liver enzymes (AST, ALT, ALP), kidney function, electrolytes, and glucose levels, crucial for assessing overall liver and metabolic health.
- Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT): A liver enzyme that, when elevated, may indicate bile duct issues or liver damage, often used in conjunction with other liver tests to pinpoint liver disease.
- Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH): An enzyme found throughout the body, including the liver. High levels can suggest liver damage among other conditions.
- Lipid Panel with Ratios: Analyzes cholesterol and triglyceride levels, which can be influenced by liver function. Liver diseases can lead to abnormal lipid profiles.
Expanding Insights with Advanced Liver Health Panels
For a more comprehensive evaluation, consider the following advanced panels:
- Liver Health - Advanced panel: Adds crucial markers such as C-Reactive Protein for inflammation, Ferritin for iron storage, a full hepatitis panel for viral infections, and Iron and Total Iron Binding Capacity, providing a deeper dive into liver function and potential infections.
- Liver Health - Comprehensive panel: The most detailed panel, further including Prealbumin for nutritional status assessment, Prothrombin Time with INR for blood clotting function, and Transferrin, offering the fullest picture of liver health, function, and nutritional status.
Conditions and Diseases Detected by the Liver Health - Basic Plus Panel
This panel is instrumental in diagnosing and managing conditions such as:
- Liver Diseases: Including hepatitis, fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, indicated by abnormal enzyme levels and bilirubin.
- Hemolytic Anemia: Suggested by elevated bilirubin and LDH levels, where increased red blood cell breakdown overwhelms the liver's processing capacity.
- Bile Duct Obstructions: Elevated bilirubin and GGT levels can indicate blockages in the bile ducts, affecting bile flow.
Using the Liver Health - Basic Plus Panel Results in Clinical Practice
Healthcare professionals leverage the results from the Liver Health - Basic Plus panel to:
- Diagnose Liver Conditions: Identifying specific patterns in test results to pinpoint liver diseases or dysfunctions.
- Monitor Disease Progression and Treatment: Tracking changes in liver function tests and blood counts to assess the progression of liver diseases and the effectiveness of treatments.
- Evaluate Lipid Metabolism: Assessing the liver's impact on lipid levels to manage associated risks such as cardiovascular diseases.
The Liver Health - Basic Plus panel offers a comprehensive overview of liver function and its impact on overall health, enhancing the basic assessment with additional blood health and enzyme level tests. This panel aids in the early detection, diagnosis, and management of liver-related conditions, ensuring timely intervention and monitoring. For those seeking an even more in-depth analysis, the Advanced and Comprehensive panels provide additional tests for a thorough evaluation, addressing a wider range of liver health concerns and associated conditions.
We advise having your results reviewed by a licensed medical healthcare professional for proper interpretation of your results.
