About this item:

GetTested's Liver test is a straightforward at-home test that doesn't require sending it to a lab for analysis; you receive immediate results instead. You perform the test using urine, and then visually compare the result with a colour chart included in the package. By testing for the presence of bilirubin and urobilinogen in the urine, and thereby reflecting their concentrations in the blood, you can effectively monitor your liver's health.

To understand the importance of a liver test, it is crucial to learn more about the liver itself. The liver is the largest glandular organ in the body. Since the liver does not have any sensory nerves connected to it, we do not feel when the liver is out of balance. However, there are several symptoms that may indicate liver problems. Jaundice stands out as the most obvious or common sign. It develops when a large amount of bilirubin accumulates and dissolves in the skin's fat layer.

The body forms bilirubin through the breakdown of red blood cells. Blood then transports it to the liver, and from there, it moves to the intestines via the duct connecting the liver and intestines. The gallbladder can also store bilirubin. In the intestines, intestinal bacteria convert bilirubin into a compound called urobilinogen. The bloodstream then reabsorbs a small percentage of this compound. Increased levels of urobilinogen and/or bilirubin in the blood affect the appearance of urine.
