What does the test measure?
ALT
ALT (also known as ALAT) is an enzyme found primarily in liver cells. Elevated levels can occur when liver cells are affected.
GGT
GGT (or Gamma-GT) is an enzyme linked to the liver and bile ducts; it can be affected by various conditions, medications, and alcohol.
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP)
ALP is an enzyme originating from sources including the liver, bile ducts, and bones.
Bilirubin
Bilirubin is formed when red blood cells break down and is processed by the liver.
Albumin
Albumin is the most abundant protein in the blood and is produced in the liver.
Total protein
Total protein indicates the combined amount of albumin and globulins in the blood.
Globulin (calculated)
Globulin is calculated from total protein and albumin.
Albumin/globulin ratio (calculated)
The ratio is calculated from albumin and globulin levels and can provide additional information regarding the distribution of proteins in the blood.
Common symptoms and when the test may be relevant
The profile provides information on various aspects of liver and biliary tract function and can be used for monitoring over time. Individual abnormalities are not specific to any particular disease.
Liver impairment may be asymptomatic. Possible symptoms of liver or biliary tract problems include fatigue, nausea, discomfort under the right rib cage, dark urine, pale stools, or jaundice.
The symptoms are non-specific and can have many other causes. A laboratory test does not establish a diagnosis.
Who is this test for?
- For those who want to check several liver-related markers.
- For those who want to track previous liver values.
- For those taking medication or maintaining lifestyle habits that require medical monitoring.
How the at-home lab test works
- Order the test and receive the sampling kit at home.
- Read the instructions and prepare for the sample collection.
- Prick your fingertip and collect liquid capillary blood in the sample tube.
- Label, pack, and send the sample to the laboratory.
- The laboratory analyzes the markers.
- View the results digitally in your personal health portal.
Before sample collection
Follow the instructions in the sampling kit. Medications, alcohol, physical activity, and other factors can affect certain liver values.
Laboratory and quality
The sample is analyzed at a medical laboratory accredited according to ISO 15189. The laboratory's quality assurance also adheres to Rili-BÄK guidelines for laboratory medical testing.
- Sample material: liquid capillary blood
- Sampling location: at home
- Result: digital laboratory report
- Turnaround time: transport time and the scope of the analysis affect the total time
Results and reference values
The result shows the measured markers and any calculated values, along with the laboratory's units and current reference ranges. Results should be evaluated in conjunction with symptoms, medical history, and other relevant examinations.
Important information regarding the result
Contact a healthcare provider in the event of clearly abnormal results, persistent symptoms, or concerns. Seek urgent medical attention for severe or rapidly worsening symptoms.
Frequently asked questions
Which liver markers are included?
ALT, GGT, ALP, bilirubin, albumin, and total protein, as well as calculated globulin and the albumin/globulin ratio.
Can alcohol affect liver markers?
Yes, alcohol can affect certain liver markers, but an abnormal value can have many possible causes.
Can exercise affect the result?
Strenuous physical activity can affect certain laboratory values.
Can the test detect fatty liver?
No. Blood tests can provide clues but do not diagnose fatty liver on their own.
What should I do if the result is abnormal?
Contact a healthcare provider for an assessment and any potential further investigation.
What is analysed

Frequently asked questions
What does the liver lab test measure?
The test measures ALT, GGT, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bilirubin, albumin and total protein, and reports globulin (calculated) and the albumin/globulin ratio (calculated) based on the measured values.
How is the sample taken?
You prick your finger and collect a capillary blood sample in the sample tube provided. Follow the sampling instructions carefully.
Do I need to prepare?
Follow the instructions that come with the sampling kit. Any preparation needed is described there.
How is the sample sent?
Label and pack the sample, then send it to the laboratory as instructed.
When and how will I get my results?
When the laboratory analysis is complete, you receive your results digitally. Transport time and the scope of the analysis affect the total turnaround time.
Can the test provide a diagnosis?
No. The test provides laboratory values that need to be assessed together with symptoms, medical history and other circumstances.
