Liver disease is almost entirely preventable, with the major risk factors being alcohol, obesity and hepatitis. The liver is the body’s second-largest organ and plays a vital role in maintaining good health;
Removes toxins, such as drugs and alcohol from the body
Produces bile which helps with the digestion of fats
Helps to fight infections
Controls cholesterol levels
Liver disease typically does not cause noticeable symptoms until it has progressed significantly and the liver has sustained damage. At this stage, symptoms may include loss of appetite, weight loss, and jaundice.
Some 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. The measurement of ALT and AST levels is just a tool to give you information, and is not a final diagnosis.
Your doctor is able to refer you for a more comprehensive liver function screen than is available by self-testing, and you should speak to your doctor if you are anxious about your health or are concerned about your symptoms.
