What is the Better2Know Liver Function test?
Our Better2Know Liver Function test allows you to assess the overall health of your liver by measuring a variety of proteins. Did you know that your liver is the largest internal organ? Your liver is a powerhouse, performing over 500 functions, including breaking down and processing food, fighting infections, and removing drugs and toxins.
Why consider a Liver Function test?
If you have any concerns over the health of your liver, our Liver Function test will be able to assess this. If you have any problems associated with your liver, the signs and symptoms could include the following:
- Nausea or vomiting
- Yellowing of the skin (jaundice)
- Abdominal pain or swelling
- Loss of appetite
- Chronic fatigue
- Itchy skin
- Dark coloured urine or stools
- Swelling of the ankles or legs
If you have experienced any of the symptoms listed above, regularly consume significant amounts of alcohol, or are concerned to know the health of your liver, then you should book the Better2Know Liver Function test.
How does the Liver Function test work?
The Better2Know Liver Function test requires a small blood sample, which can be taken from your arm at a clinic of your choice. Once we have taken a small sample of your blood, we will send your blood sample to our country accredited laboratory that will analyse your sample.
What happens if I need further help after my Liver Function test results?
Once available, you will be able to access your results from a secure patient area on our website, we will provide you with log in details once your test is booked. Our dedicated Patient Services team will be in touch when all your results are ready to view.
