Introduction

Your liver is one of the hardest working organs in your body. It digests food, helps you digest , removes waste from your blood and stores energy . The tricky thing about liver problems is that they don’t always come with clear warning signs.

Something may be changing, and you may feel perfectly fine. That’s why it’s not always the best approach to wait for pain or discomfort. Regular checkups can catch changes early and give you a better chance to do something before they become a bigger concern.

Why Is Liver Screening Important?

Fatty liver, liver inflammation and other liver disorders can develop without warning signs. Things are already changing, but you may feel completely normal.

A liver health check can give your doctor a better understanding of your overall health and help determine if further investigation is required.

What Does a Liver Check Up Cover?

A full liver health package can consist of:

CBC – provides information on your blood cells.
LFT (Liver Function Test) – looks for markers of liver function and damage.
Lipid Profile – Assesses cholesterol and triglycerides linked to metabolic health.
HbA1c – Provides you with an idea of your average blood sugar over the past few months.
RFT (Renal Function Test) – To check the function of kidneys.
USG Abdomen with Fatty Liver Screening – It’s useful to screen for changes like fat deposition in the liver.

Combined, these tests can give a more complete picture of your metabolic and liver health.

Who should be screened for liver disease?

If you have any of the following, you might want to discuss liver screening with your doctor:

• Extra weight or belly fat
• High blood sugar or diabetes
• High cholesterol or High triglycerides
• Sedentary Lifestyle
• Drinking alcohol regularly
• A history of liver disease in the family
• History of fatty liver

Don’t Wait for Signs.

Your liver can be quiet when it’s supposed to be talking. All of these are easy things to do and can help you maintain a healthy liver: regular screening, a healthy diet, physical activity and avoiding excessive alcohol.

If you have risk factors or concerns about your liver, discuss with a healthcare professional the appropriate screening plan for you.
