Advanced Fatty Liver Disease Panel
Take control of your liver health with our Advanced Fatty Liver Disease Panel, designed to detect and monitor non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This condition, which can lead to serious complications like liver fibrosis or cirrhosis, is often undiagnosed. Our test is recommended by the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology, ensuring you receive a reliable and clinically validated assessment.
What is Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)?
NAFLD is the most common liver disease globally, affecting a significant portion of the population, yet less than 5% are aware they have it. This panel tests for key biomarkers, including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and platelet levels in your blood, providing crucial insights into your liver health.
Key Features of the Test
- Sample Type: Blood
- Preparation: No special preparation required
- Test Type: In-person collection
- Price: $125.00 + $6.00 Physician Service Fee
How the Test Works
Our process is straightforward and empowering. Simply purchase the test online and schedule an appointment at one of our 2000+ Quest locations. After sample collection, you’ll receive fast results online, and you can discuss your findings with an independent physician at no additional cost.
Understanding Your Results
Your test results will include a fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index score calculated using your ALT, AST, and platelet levels along with your age. A score of 1.30 or higher indicates the need for further testing (Enhanced Liver Fibrosis [ELF] score) to assess your risk of progression to cirrhosis or liver-related complications. Early diagnosis can open the door to treatment options that may reverse or slow the disease.
