Which Test Do I Need?
Essential – Best for an initial check
Suitable if you have no known liver condition and want a simple assessment of liver fibrosis risk.
Advanced – Best for a broader liver health check
Adds a fuller liver assessment, metabolic markers and hepatitis B & C screening.
Comprehensive – Best for detailed fibrosis assessment
Adds specialist blood markers that directly assess processes associated with liver scarring. Particularly useful where there are known risk factors, abnormal liver results or a need for more detailed investigation.
Clinical Recommendation
If you are generally healthy with no known liver concerns, the Essential test provides a useful first-line assessment. Choose Advanced for a broader assessment including liver function, metabolic health and viral hepatitis screening. The Comprehensive test is most appropriate when a more detailed assessment of liver fibrosis is required using specialist fibrosis markers.
