LupiKavach Complete Liver Check

The LupiKavach Complete Liver Check package is a comprehensive panel that is designed to assess your liver health. This health package plays a vital role in the early identification of conditions like hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver failure, and cancer. They evaluate how well your liver is functioning and can be used to make necessary lifestyle adjustments for improved health.

The signs and symptoms of liver disease depend on the specific condition present and may include:

The LupiKavach Complete Liver Check offers the following tests for comprehensive health screening:

Lipase: Measures the levels of lipase (a type of digestive enzyme) in the blood. High levels of lipase in the bloodstream could be a sign of pancreatic problems.

Amylase: Measures the levels of amylase (a type of digestive enzyme) in the blood. Abnormal amylase levels may indicate potential liver problems or pancreatitis.

Liver Function Test Gold: Assesses liver health by measuring enzymes and proteins, useful for diagnosing liver infections, jaundice, and cirrhosis.

Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg): Detects Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in the bloodstream. This test helps determine whether or not a person is infected with hepatitis B.

Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT): Measures GGT levels in the blood. High levels of GGT enzyme may indicate liver or bile duct damage.

Prothrombin Time Test and INR (PT/INR): Measures the duration it takes for a blood clot to develop in a blood sample. 

Protein Total: Measures total proteins present in the bloodstream. The majority of proteins in your blood are made by your liver. These proteins include albumin and globulin.

Lipase

Higher levels of lipase than usual could be caused by:

• Pancreatic diseases like blocked pancreatic duct and pancreatic cancer
• Chronic kidney disease
  Peptic ulcer
• Diseases of gall bladder
• Blockage in the intestine
• Alcohol abuse

Lower levels of lipase than usual could be caused by:

• Cystic fibrosis
• Chronic pancreatitis
• Certain medications like diuretics, cholesterol medications, birth control pills, etc.

Amylase

• Higher levels of amylase than usual may indicate a problem with your pancreas, such as acute or chronic pancreatitis, cholecystitis, gastroenteritis, peptic ulcers, perforated ulcers, etc.
• Lower levels of amylase than usual may indicate issues with the pancreas, liver, kidney problems, cystic fibrosis, etc. 

Liver Function Test Gold

• An elevated ALT test result can be a sign of liver damage, with very high levels often caused by viral hepatitis or injury from drugs.
• A higher than normal AST test result could indicate a problem with either the liver or the muscles. If AST is elevated without a corresponding increase in ALT, this may suggest heart or muscle-related diseases. Additionally, elevated levels of ALT, bilirubin, and ALP, when observed with AST, may point to liver damage.
• An elevated level of ALP may suggest blocked bile ducts, liver inflammation, or bone disease.
• A low albumin test result may suggest cirrhosis, malnutrition or cancer.
• A high bilirubin test result may indicate liver dysfunction, especially when accompanied by elevated ALT or AST levels, which may suggest cirrhosis or hepatitis.
• A high GGT test result may indicate damage to the liver or bile ducts.
• An elevated level of LD or PT may indicate liver damage.

Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg)
 

• A positive or reactive result suggests the presence of acute or chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, or a chronic HBV carrier state.
• A non-reactive or negative result suggests the absence of hepatitis B surface antigen. 

Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT)

A high GGT test result may indicate damage to the liver or bile ducts.

Prothrombin Time Test and INR (PT/INR)

The normal ranges for PT/INR results are:

• 11 to 13.5 seconds.
• INR of 0.8 to 1.1.
• INR of 2.0 to 3.0 (if the individual is taking warfarin). 

An elevated PT or INR level indicates a prolonged clotting time for your blood, which may suggest an underlying bleeding or clotting disorder, or a liver issue.

Protein Total

• Lower than normal protein levels can be the result of kidney or liver issues.
• Higher than normal protein levels may be caused by a gastrointestinal problem.
• Lower than normal albumin levels may be caused by malnutrition, kidney disease, liver disease, or inflammatory disease.
• Higher than normal albumin levels may be caused by stress from a heart attack or surgery, burns, or acute infections.
• Lower than normal globulin levels may be caused by malnutrition, kidney disease, or liver disease.
• Higher than normal globulin levels may be caused by an inflammatory disease or infection.
• Lower or higher than normal A/G ratios may be caused by certain cancers, autoimmune diseases, or some genetic disorders.
