About the Kidney and Liver Function Test

Your kidneys and liver play a vital role in filtering toxins, balancing chemicals, producing proteins, and maintaining overall metabolic health. The Kidney and Liver Function Test is a comprehensive blood test designed to evaluate how well these essential organs are functioning — even before symptoms appear.

At Total Health Medical Centre, we offer a Kidney and Liver Function Test package that measures a wide range of important health markers. Whether as part of a routine check-up, chronic disease monitoring, or to investigate specific symptoms, this test provides a clear picture of your organ health.

What’s Included in the Test?

Our Kidney and Liver Function Test covers a full panel of key indicators:

Kidney Markers:

• Creatinine – Measures kidney filtration ability; elevated levels may indicate impaired kidney function.

• Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) – Evaluates how well your kidneys are removing waste.

• Uric Acid – High levels may signal kidney issues, gout, or other metabolic problems.

Liver Markers:

• AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase) – An enzyme released with liver or muscle damage.

• ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase) – A more liver-specific enzyme, indicating liver inflammation or damage.

• GGT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase) – Often elevated in bile duct or alcohol-related liver issues.

• ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase) – Indicates issues with the bile ducts or bones.

• Bilirubin (Total) – A waste product from red blood cells; high levels may suggest liver dysfunction or bile flow issues.

• Albumin – A key protein produced by the liver, reflecting liver and nutritional status.

• Total Protein – Measures the overall level of proteins in your blood, including albumin and globulin.

Why You Might Need This Test:

• Fatigue, nausea, or abdominal discomfort

• History of alcohol use or liver disease

• High blood pressure, diabetes, or medication monitoring

• Gout, joint pain, or unexplained swelling

• Routine wellness screening or pre-surgical assessment

What to Expect:

The test is performed through a simple blood draw, with results usually available within 24 hours. Fasting is not usually recommended, but depending on your doctor’s instructions, if you’re doing a cholesterol test as well you should fast approximately 8 to 10 hours before the test.
