The test is for use at home by members of the public for checking the physiological status of the liver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGeneral information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiver disease is almost entirely preventable, with the main risk factors being alcohol consumption, obesity, and hepatitis.

At this stage, symptoms may include loss of appetite, weight loss, and jaundice. Speak with your doctor if you have any symptoms of liver disease, or are concerned about your health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of the most common blood tests for liver function include the transaminase enzymes aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT), which are released by the liver when it is damaged. Although ALT is found mainly in the liver, AST is less specific, as it can also be present in heart muscle and other tissues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTime to result\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe test gives a result in 10 minutes at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA test for biomarkers, such as ALT or AST is not a diagnosis.
