Iron deficiency test at home - New Era Diagnostics

Description:
A Liver Function Test (LFT) is a blood test used to help diagnose and monitor liver disease or damage. It measures the levels of various substances in the blood that are produced or processed by the liver, including enzymes, proteins, and bilirubin. Components of Liver Function Tests Alanine Transaminase (ALT): An enzyme found in the liver that helps convert proteins into energy for liver cells. High levels of ALT can indicate liver damage. Aspartate Transaminase (AST): An enzyme found in the liver, heart, and muscles. Elevated levels can suggest liver damage, but AST is not as specific to the liver as ALT. Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP): An enzyme related to the bile ducts; often increased when they are blocked or damaged. Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT): An enzyme involved in bile production. High levels can indicate bile duct problems. Bilirubin: A waste product from the breakdown of red blood cells. Elevated levels can cause jaundice and indicate liver or bile duct problems. Albumin and Total Protein: Albumin is a protein made by the liver, and total protein measures all the proteins in your blood, including antibodies. Low levels can indicate liver damage or disease. Home Liver Function Tests The new era of diagnostics includes the possibility of conducting liver function tests at home using kits. These home test kits offer a convenient and private way to monitor liver health. Advantages of Home Liver Function Tests: Convenience: No need to visit a clinic or hospital. Privacy: Conduct tests in the comfort of your home. Timeliness: Get quick results without waiting for an appointment. How Home Liver Function Tests Work: Collection: Use a lancet to collect a small blood sample from a fingertip. Processing: Place the blood sample on a test strip or in a small vial. Analysis: The kit may include a device to analyze the sample, or you may need to send the sample to a lab. Results: Results can be read from the device, obtained via a mobile app, or received from the lab. Choosing a Home Liver Function Test Kit: Accuracy: Look for kits that are FDA-approved or have CE marks. Ease of Use: Ensure the instructions are clear and the process is straightforward. Support: Check if the kit provides customer support for any questions or issues. Reviews: Read reviews to learn about the experiences of other users. Limitations: While home liver function tests offer convenience, they should not replace professional medical advice. Abnormal results should be discussed with a healthcare provider to determine the cause and necessary treatment.
