Hepatic Profile
Comprehensive Blood Test to Assess Liver Function and Health
The Hepatic Profile is a detailed blood test designed to evaluate liver function, enzyme activity, and metabolic health. It offers essential insights into how well the liver is performing its vital roles in detoxification, protein production, and digestion, and helps identify early signs of liver dysfunction.

Experience symptoms suggestive of liver dysfunction
Are managing a chronic liver condition
Need to monitor treatment impact on liver health
Want to include a comprehensive liver screen in your annual health assessment
Fasting Requirements
Fasting is not strictly required, but it is recommended for optimal accuracy, especially when the test is combined with other metabolic panels. Follow your healthcare provider's guidance for best results.
What’s Measured?
The Hepatic Profile typically includes:
Liver enzymes (ALT, AST, ALP, GGT): Indicate liver cell damage or bile duct issues
Bilirubin (Total and Direct): Elevated levels can signal liver or bile duct problems
Albumin and Total Protein: Assess the liver’s ability to produce essential proteins
Prothrombin Time (optional): May be included to evaluate blood clotting function related to liver health
