With expert analysis and personalised advice, we help you take control of your liver health and overall well-being.
A Liver Health Blood Test service is a medical assessment that involves the analysis of an individual’s blood to evaluate various markers and factors related to liver function. This assessment helps in the early detection of liver-related issues and provides insights into an individual’s overall liver health. The test results can inform individuals and healthcare professionals about their liver enzymes, bilirubin levels, and other factors, allowing for the development of appropriate strategies to maintain or improve liver health. Liver health blood tests are important tools used to check how well the liver is working and to see if it’s healthy. At The Health Suite Leicester, these tests help find possible liver problems by measuring certain enzymes, proteins, and substances made or handled by the liver. If these levels are not normal, it could mean you have conditions like hepatitis, fatty liver disease, or cirrhosis. By finding problems early, these tests help doctors give you the right care and treatment, so you can keep your liver working well and stay healthy overall.

Liver Health Blood Tests in Leicester
Below are the key blood tests used to assess liver health, each focusing on a specific hormone or indicator. Please confirm the package you are looking for.
Anti-HBc IgM indicates recent hepatitis B infection, while IgG shows past exposure or immunity. Testing these helps assess infection history, monitor liver health, and determine immune protection against hepatitis B.
Vitamin B12 is essential for red blood cell formation, nerve function, and DNA synthesis. Testing B12 levels helps detect deficiencies that can cause anaemia, neurological issues, or worsen liver-related metabolic problems.
Bence-Jones protein testing detects abnormal proteins in the urine or blood linked to kidney or plasma cell disorders. It helps identify conditions like multiple myeloma and can indicate liver-related or systemic health issues.
A Biochemistry Profile measures liver enzymes, proteins, electrolytes, and metabolic markers. It helps assess liver function, detect liver disease, monitor overall metabolic health, and guide diagnosis and treatment decisions.
A Full Blood Count measures red and white blood cells, haemoglobin, and platelets. It provides a comprehensive overview of blood health, helping detect anaemia, infection, clotting issues, and potential liver or systemic disorders.
Ferritin reflects the body’s iron stores and helps assess iron levels. Measuring ferritin can detect iron deficiency, overload, or liver-related metabolic issues, supporting the diagnosis and management of anaemia and overall health.
Hepatitis B anti-HBe indicates reduced viral replication or recovery from hepatitis B infection. Testing this marker helps assess infection activity, monitor liver health, and guide treatment or management decisions.
Folate is a vital vitamin for red blood cell formation and DNA synthesis. Testing folate levels helps detect deficiencies that may cause anaemia, support liver function, and maintain overall metabolic and nutritional health.
HBeAg is a marker of active hepatitis B viral replication and infectivity. Testing HBeAg helps assess disease activity, monitor liver function, and guide treatment decisions, providing insight into infection severity and risk of transmission.
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) measures how quickly red blood cells settle in a test tube. A high ESR indicates inflammation or infection, helping detect liver disease, systemic disorders, or ongoing inflammatory conditions.
Immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG, IgM) are antibodies that evaluate the immune system’s response. Measuring their levels helps detect liver disease, infections, or immune disorders, providing insight into overall immune and metabolic health.
Hepatitis B core IgM detects recent or acute hepatitis B infection. Measuring this antibody helps identify early-stage infection, assess liver health, and guide timely treatment or monitoring of disease progression.
Protein Electrophoresis separates and measures different blood proteins to assess liver, kidney, and immune health. It helps detect abnormalities, monitor liver disease, and identify conditions like infections, inflammation, or plasma cell disorders.
Hepatitis B sAb (surface antibody) indicates immunity to hepatitis B from vaccination or past infection. Measuring sAb helps confirm protection, assess liver health, and guide decisions on vaccination or further monitoring.
Transferrin saturation measures the percentage of iron bound to transferrin in the blood. It helps assess iron status, detect deficiency or overload, and monitor metabolic and liver health, guiding diagnosis and treatment of related disorders.
Iron testing measures the amount of circulating iron in the blood. It helps assess iron status, detect deficiency or overload, and monitor metabolic and liver health, supporting the diagnosis of anaemia or related disorders.
Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) measures the average size of red blood cells. It helps detect types of anaemia, nutrient deficiencies, or liver-related blood disorders, providing insight into overall blood and metabolic health.
Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) measures the blood’s capacity to transport iron by evaluating transferrin levels. It helps detect iron deficiency, iron overload, and supports the assessment of liver function and overall metabolic health.
White Blood Cell Count and Differential measures the number and types of white blood cells in the blood. It helps assess immune function, detect infections, inflammation, or liver-related immune issues, and monitor overall health.
Haemoglobin levels measure the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells. Abnormal levels can indicate anaemia, blood loss, or liver-related issues, helping assess overall blood health, detect underlying disorders, and guide diagnosis and treatment.
Platelet count measures the number of platelets in the blood, which are essential for clotting. Abnormal levels can indicate liver disease, bone marrow issues, or bleeding disorders, helping assess overall blood and liver health.

Our clinicians will carry out a full assessment to ensure an accurate diagnosis and appropriate care.
Do you experience persistent fatigue or low energy?
Ongoing tiredness can be linked to reduced liver function or metabolic strain. Blood tests assess key liver enzymes to identify inflammation or impaired liver performance.
Have you noticed yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice)?
Jaundice may indicate elevated bilirubin levels and impaired liver processing. Blood testing helps assess liver function and detect underlying hepatic or bile duct issues.
Do you experience upper abdominal discomfort or bloating?
Discomfort in the upper right abdomen may be associated with liver inflammation or fatty liver changes. Blood tests help evaluate liver enzyme levels and overall liver health.
Have you had unexplained nausea or loss of appetite?
Reduced appetite and nausea can occur with liver dysfunction. Testing helps assess whether liver enzymes are elevated and if further investigation is required.
Do you consume alcohol regularly or have a history of liver risk factors?
Alcohol intake and other risk factors can affect liver health over time. Blood testing helps monitor enzyme levels and detect early signs of liver stress or damage.
Do you have general symptoms such as itching, fatigue, or malaise?
Non-specific symptoms may be linked to liver dysfunction. Blood tests help assess whether inflammation or impaired liver function may be contributing.
