About this test

This test combines the standard liver function markers, ALP, ALT, bilirubin and Gamma GT, plus albumin, globulin and total protein, with hyaluronic acid, a marker used to help assess liver fibrosis and scarring. It is aimed at people who may be at risk of fatty liver disease, fibrosis or cirrhosis and want a more detailed look at liver health, potentially picking up early changes before symptoms appear.

Within its comparison group of liver function tests, this is the deepest option, with eight biomarkers against a group median of seven, but also by far the most expensive: at £199 it is priced around 340% above the £45.25 group median. Medichecks' own Liver Function Blood Test covers seven of the same markers for £39, and YorkTest, Blue Horizon Medicals and Thriva price similar seven-marker panels between £41 and £48.60.

The scores reflect this trade-off between depth and price. Clinical depth scores the maximum, reflecting the extra hyaluronic acid marker on top of the standard panel. Value for money scores the lowest possible mark, given the large gap to the group median. Collection convenience is limited too, since the test requires a venous draw at a clinic rather than an at-home option, with results in around six days.

Who is it for?

This suits people who, with their GP or a specialist, want a deeper look at liver health because of a risk of fatty liver disease, fibrosis or cirrhosis, rather than a routine check. Because the sample cannot be posted, you will need to visit Inuvi Clinic in London in person to provide it, so it is only practical if you can get there.

If you want standard liver function markers without the hyaluronic acid addition or the price premium, Medichecks' own Liver Function Blood Test covers seven of the same eight markers for £39, and can be done with an at-home finger-prick. YorkTest, Blue Horizon Medicals and Thriva price similar seven-marker panels between £41 and £48.60. Whichever option you choose, discuss any result that concerns you with your GP or specialist.

How it works

Collection options listed for this test are in-store clinic, a home nurse visit, or a venous draw at a clinic, though the provider notes that for this specific test you need to visit Inuvi Clinic in London in person, as the sample is not suitable for posting. Once the sample reaches the lab, results are typically ready within six days, and every result is reviewed by a doctor as standard.

Our editorial score

Compare Health Test Score Deepest liver panel in its group, priced well above peers
Editorial confidence: 10.0/10

This £199 test adds hyaluronic acid, a marker linked to liver fibrosis and scarring, to the standard seven-marker liver panel, making it the deepest test in its comparison group at eight biomarkers. It is also by far the most expensive, priced around 340% above the £45.25 group median and well above Medichecks' own £39 Liver Function Blood Test, which shares seven of its eight markers. The sample must be collected in person at Inuvi Clinic in London, since it is not suitable for posting.
