Take a liver test at home
High reliability - you can do the test at home - get an immediate answer Are you taking a lot of medication? Maybe you drink too much alcohol? The liver is an important organ that plays a critical role in your health. Your liver helps break down food, purify blood, produce proteins and store energy, among other things. Liver problems can cause a number of symptoms, such as dark urine or light stools, poor appetite, yellowish whites of the eyes or skin (jaundice), swelling over the stomach, weakness or severe fatigue. There can be many causes related to liver problems such as hepatitis, side effects of certain medications, cirrhosis due to heavy alcohol consumption, obesity, diabetes or high blood pressure. There are many tests that can be performed on the liver, but the most common tests are to measure the level of transaminases (ALT and AST), which are specific liver enzymes. These enzymes are released into the blood by the liver in response to damage or liver disease. Our liver test is a reliable immunodiagnostic test for the immunological detection of elevated transaminase levels (both ALT and AST). A simple finger prick provides a fast and safe answer. The liver test from Quicktest is very reliable and safe - it is also CE marked. Why should I test myself? It can be difficult to detect liver problems, the symptoms are quite general and therefore easily confused with other conditions. A simple test can help ease your worries. A positive test means your liver is not doing well - you can seek care more easily and quickly and get the right treatment, which is important as liver damage can cause serious complications.
