Alanine Aminotransferase
A liver health marker.
Why it matters
Higher levels can be a sign your liver is under stress, often linked to diet, alcohol, or fatty liver.
Comprehensive liver health assessment measuring key biomarkers including liver enzymes (ALT, AST, ALP, GGT), bilirubin, albumin, and ferritin. These markers evaluate hepatocyte integrity, bile duct function, detoxification capacity, and iron metabolism. Identifies early signs of fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, hepatitis, and metabolic dysfunction. Essential for monitoring liver function, supporting preventative health strategies, and maintaining systemic wellness.
Sample requirements
Collected by our partnered phlebotomist in your booked clinic appointment. Phlebotomy fee included in the price.
A liver health marker.
Higher levels can be a sign your liver is under stress, often linked to diet, alcohol, or fatty liver.
A marker linked to both liver and bone health.
Levels can shift when the liver is under strain or when bones are remodelling more than usual.
Another liver health marker.
Read alongside ALT, it gives extra insight into how your liver and muscles are coping.
A liver marker (often called GGT).
Often raised by alcohol or fatty liver — a useful check-in on lifestyle impact.
A waste product the liver clears from your blood.
Higher levels can be a sign your liver isn't clearing things as efficiently as usual.
The main protein in your blood, made by the liver.
Gives insight into liver function and overall nutrition.
Your body's iron stores.
Low levels can leave you feeling tired; very high levels can be a sign of inflammation or iron overload.

Symptoms tell you something is wrong. Tests tell you what. This panel measures the biomarkers that connect to how you actually feel — so you can act with evidence, not guesswork.
Liver Health results are typically delivered within 2 working days of the laboratory receiving your sample. You receive a plain English PDF report covering each liver biomarker, the lab reference range, and what each measures.
The Liver Health panel requires a venous blood draw at a Chxhealth or partner clinic. The phlebotomy fee is included in the price. Choose our Lanchester clinic or one of our 50+ UK partner and pop-up clinics when you book.
Fasting is not strictly required for the liver markers themselves, but it is good practice to avoid alcohol for at least 24 to 48 hours before testing and to avoid heavy meals or strenuous exercise on the day. Both can transiently affect liver enzyme readings.
The Liver Health panel is useful for anyone monitoring alcohol intake, taking medications that affect the liver (such as statins or methotrexate), tracking fatty liver risk, or wanting a baseline view of liver function.
ALT and AST are liver enzymes that rise when liver cells are damaged. The most common UK cause of mildly raised values is fatty liver disease, often linked to weight, sugar intake or alcohol. Your report will note any out-of-range result and suggest follow-up with a healthcare professional. Chxhealth is a biomarker and genetic data provider. We do not diagnose, treat or prescribe.
