The liver performs important functions that ensure the smooth functioning of our body.

The main biochemical parameters provide information about liver function, cell damage, and the condition of the biliary tract.

Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) - early diagnosis of hepatitis, even before the onset of symptoms

Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) - severe liver damage

Total bilirubin is a violation of liver function, biliary tract patency.

An increase in blood levels of Gamma-GlutamylTranspeptidase (GGTP) and Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) may indicate viral hepatitis, alcoholic and toxic liver damage, obstruction of the bile ducts, probable stagnation of bile (cholestasis), and other diseases.

Transferrin is a liver protein capable of binding iron, as well as a number of other trace elements. A decreased transferrin level may indicate a pronounced liver pathology.

Glycated hemoglobin is a stable indicator that helps to differentiate previous prolonged glycemia from an accidental rise in glucose levels detected for the first time. It reflects the state of carbohydrate metabolism over the last 3 months.

INR is a standard for determining the effectiveness of blood clotting. Evaluates the synthesis of prothrombin complex factors in the liver

Homocysteine - in normal concentrations does not affect the viscosity and fluidity of blood, but when its concentration in the blood increases, there are risks of increased thrombosis.

Vitamin B9 (folic acid) is necessary for the normal maturation of red blood cells. Vit. B9 is involved in the production of methionine from homocysteine.

Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) plays an important role in metabolic processes, participates in protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism, in the functioning of the nervous system and the development of blood cells.

Vitamin B9 and B12 deficiency leads to disruption of the folate cycle, as well as an increase in homocysteine levels, which increases the risk of thrombosis, heart attacks, and strokes.

Many liver pathologies are asymptomatic and therefore organ diseases are often detected when they are started. Early diagnosis of pathology makes it possible to start treatment on time and avoid complications.

The liver check-up will allow the doctor to understand in depth the details of not only the structural changes detected during ultrasound, but also changes in liver function. Early detection of hidden liver diseases using both ultrasound diagnostics and laboratory parameters is an effective prevention of fatty hepatosis, various hepatitis, cirrhosis and liver cancer.

Recommended:

• Diseases and injuries of the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, bile ducts (cholestasis)
• Hepatocardial syndrome (cardiac disorders (hypotension, tachycardia, etc.), due to diseases of the liver or biliary tract
• Changes in the structure and size of the liver according to ultrasound examination data
• To evaluate the effectiveness of treatment for existing liver diseases
• Assessment of hepatotoxicity of medicinal products

Preparation

• It is recommended to donate blood in the morning (between 8 and 11 o'clock), strictly on an empty stomach (at least 12 and no more than 14 hours of fasting, you can drink water). The day before, avoid food overload, avoid stressful loads, and intense sports.
• Eliminate physical and emotional stress 30 minutes before the study.
• Exclude (in consultation with a doctor) the use of steroid hormones within 48 hours before the study. Do not smoke for 3 hours before the study.
