Hyaluronic Acid Blood Test (Liver Fibrosis Marker)
Detect silent liver scarring before symptoms appear.
What’s tested
Pick a time
The Hyaluronic Acid Blood Test measures a key biomarker of liver fibrosis, helping to assess the degree of liver scarring in people with chronic liver conditions. It is particularly useful for monitoring disease progression in chronic hepatitis B and C, alcohol-related liver disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and other chronic liver disorders. The test may also be used to help differentiate between mild fibrosis and advanced cirrhosis, and to track response to treatment or lifestyle changes.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan produced throughout the body, but it is primarily cleared by the liver's sinusoidal endothelial cells. When the liver is damaged and fibrosis develops, clearance is impaired, leading to elevated HA levels in the blood. This makes HA a valuable non-invasive marker for assessing liver fibrosis severity.

Why it matters
Liver fibrosis often develops silently over years, with few or no symptoms until significant scarring has occurred. Early detection of fibrosis is crucial because it allows for timely intervention, which can slow or even reverse liver damage in some cases. The Hyaluronic Acid Blood Test offers a simple, non-invasive way to assess liver fibrosis, helping you and your doctor make informed decisions about monitoring, treatment, and lifestyle changes to protect your liver health.
