Choose Health Introduces Comprehensive At-Home Liver Function Test for Enhanced Health Monitoring

Choose Health Launches Comprehensive Liver Function Test

In a groundbreaking move towards proactive health management, Choose Health has unveiled its new Comprehensive Liver Function Test. This innovative at-home blood test aims to revolutionize the way individuals monitor their liver health by allowing them to self-collect samples and receive results in the comfort of their homes. This diagnostic tool measures more than 20 important liver health biomarkers, providing users with detailed insights into their liver function and overall metabolic health.

The Silent Epidemic of Liver Disease

Liver disease remains an ongoing health crisis, with approximately 100 million Americans—including one-third of U.S. adults—affected yet largely undiagnosed. Among these, fatty liver disease stands out as one of the most frequently overlooked conditions. According to Mark Holland, the founder of Choose Health, “Fatty liver disease is arguably the most underdiagnosed condition in America. The tragedy is that it’s largely preventable and reversible when identified early.” The Comprehensive Liver Function Test is designed specifically to change this narrative by encouraging proactive screening and intervention.

What Does the Test Measure?

The Comprehensive Liver Function Test evaluates a multitude of liver function markers, including:

- Liver enzymes: AST, ALT, GGT, and albumin
- Metabolic markers: fasting glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin
- Lipid markers: LDL, HDL, triglycerides, and VLDL
- Iron markers: ferritin and transferrin saturation

This detailed analysis, combined with calculated scores such as the Fatty Liver Index and Hepatic Steatosis Index, ensures a comprehensive understanding of liver health and potential risks associated with metabolic dysfunction.

Clinical Relevance of Multi-Biomarker Analysis

Dr. Alan Farrell, Chief Medical Officer at Choose Health, emphasizes the importance of understanding multiple biomarkers rather than relying solely on elevated liver enzyme readings. “One elevated ALT reading doesn’t say much. By integrating various biomarkers into published indices, we can clarify patterns of steatosis and metabolic risk.” This multidimensional approach not only enhances diagnostic accuracy but also empowers individuals to make informed lifestyle changes that can significantly improve their liver health.

Addressing Insulin Resistance and Cardiometabolic Risk

Incorporating metabolic and lipid markers into liver testing provides a more thorough picture of health. Anomalies in glucose levels, insulin resistance, and lipid profiles are critical as they often correlate with fatty liver conditions. Addressing these issues can help patients mitigate risks associated with metabolic dysfunction. As Holland noted, "With the rise of treatments and awareness surrounding metabolic health, consumers can no longer afford to ignore their liver health "

Availability and Accessibility

This test is available for distribution across 48 states, with the exception of New York and Rhode Island. The simple finger-prick sample facilitates at-home testing, making it an accessible option for many Americans. Results are reviewed by licensed physicians and delivered in just a few days, ensuring timely feedback for users.
