Liver, Pancreas & Stomach Profile LIS Code: LPS
Assess liver, pancreas, and stomach function with our comprehensive profile. Detect enzyme imbalances, digestive issues, and organ health markers early.
What's included in this profile
- An enzyme found mainly in the liver
- Raised levels can indicate liver inflammation or damage
- Commonly checked alongside AST to assess liver health
- The main protein made by the liver
- Helps maintain fluid balance in the blood
- Low levels can indicate liver or kidney problems, or poor nutrition
- An enzyme found in the liver, bone and bile ducts
- Raised levels can point to liver, bile duct or bone conditions
- Interpreted alongside other liver markers for context
- An enzyme produced by the pancreas and salivary glands
- Helps digest carbohydrates
- Raised levels can indicate pancreatitis or other pancreatic issues
- An enzyme found in the liver, heart and muscles
- Raised levels can suggest liver or muscle damage
- Used alongside ALT to help pinpoint the cause of liver stress
- A general tumour marker, most associated with bowel cancer
- Can also be raised in some noncancerous conditions and in smokers
- Used for monitoring rather than as a standalone diagnostic test
- The processed (conjugated) form of bilirubin
- Raised levels often point to a blockage in bile flow
- Interpreted together with total bilirubin
- An enzyme sensitive to liver and bile duct problems
- Often raised with alcohol intake or bile flow issues
- Helps confirm whether a raised ALP is liverrelated
- A group of proteins involved in immune function and transport
- Assessed alongside albumin to give a fuller liver/immune picture
- Abnormal levels can reflect liver disease, infection or inflammation
- Indicates past or current exposure to H. pylori bacteria
- Linked to stomach ulcers and digestive symptoms
- A positive result may prompt further breath or stool testing
- The unprocessed (unconjugated) form of bilirubin
- Raised levels can suggest increased red cell breakdown
- Interpreted together with total bilirubin
- An enzyme found in many tissues including liver, heart and muscle
- Raised levels can indicate tissue damage from various causes
- A general marker, usually interpreted alongside more specific tests
- An enzyme produced by the pancreas to help digest fats
- A more specific marker than amylase for pancreatic problems
- Raised levels often indicate pancreatitis
- Separates blood proteins to look at their relative proportions
- Can help detect certain immune or bone marrow conditions
- Interpreted by a specialist alongside other results
- A breakdown product of old red blood cells, processed by the liver
- Raised levels can cause jaundice (yellowing of skin/eyes)
- Helps assess liver function and red cell turnover
- The combined total of albumin and globulin in the blood
- Reflects overall nutritional and liver status
- Abnormal results prompt a closer look at albumin/globulin individually

Liver, Pancreas & Stomach Profile
Comprehensive Blood Test for Digestive Organ Health
The Liver, Pancreas & Stomach Profile is a detailed diagnostic blood test designed to assess the health and function of the liver, pancreas, and digestive system. It offers vital insights into enzyme levels, protein production, and digestive markers, helping to detect and monitor a wide range of gastrointestinal conditions.
Who Should Take This Test?
This profile is ideal for individuals who are:
Experiencing abdominal pain, digestive issues, or jaundice
Struggling with unexplained weight loss or loss of appetite
Diagnosed with liver or pancreatic conditions requiring ongoing monitoring
At risk for gastrointestinal diseases, such as liver disease or pancreatitis
Seeking a preventive health check-up for digestive organ function
What Can This Test Detect?
The profile evaluates:
Liver health: By measuring enzymes and proteins such as ALT, AST, ALP, bilirubin, and albumin
Pancreatic function: Through markers like amylase and lipase
Digestive function and inflammation: Detects signs of gastrointestinal irritation, inflammation, or digestive enzyme dysfunction
This test supports the diagnosis and management of:
Liver disease (e.g. hepatitis, fatty liver, cirrhosis)
Pancreatic disorders (e.g. pancreatitis)
Gastrointestinal issues including inflammation or impaired digestion
When Should You Get Tested?
Consider this test if you are experiencing:
Persistent abdominal discomfort or bloating
Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)
Digestive changes, such as nausea, poor appetite, or changes in bowel habits
A history of alcohol use, liver/pancreatic conditions, or gastrointestinal disease
Fasting Requirements
Fasting is not always required, but may be recommended based on the specific markers being assessed. Follow your healthcare provider's instructions for the most accurate results.
