Liver-Screen®

Liver-Screen Rapid self-test for assessing the physiological state of the liver in blood.

The liver is an essential organ of the human body and plays a critical role in health. It helps to assimilate food, detoxify the blood, synthesise proteins and store energy.

In the event of a liver problem, a number of symptoms appear, such as the production of dark urine, discoloured stools, lack of appetite, yellowing of the whites of the eyes or the skin (jaundice). Other symptoms may include swelling of the abdomen, a feeling of weakness or extreme tiredness. There may be a number of reasons for these liver disorders, including hepatitis, the side effects of certain drugs, cirrhosis linked to alcohol abuse, and excess weight, particularly in cases of diabetes or hypertension.

Several diagnostic tests relating to liver function can be carried out, but the most commonly used tests are the measurement of the activity of the transaminase enzymes (ALAT and ASAT). These enzymes are released into the blood by the liver in the event of dysfunction or the development of disease.

LIVER-Screen® is a rapid immunodiagnostic test used to detect an increase in the activity of transaminases (ALAT and ASAT) from a capillary blood sample obtained from the fingertip. The test comes in the form of a cassette containing a strip with two distinct zones for the detection of transaminases (red if positive) and a control zone (blue).

How to use

How to use

1. Prepare the test device, the pipette, and the diluent dropper vial. Take them out from the protective pouch (tear at the notch). Remove the screw cap of the diluent dropper vial and leave it nearby. 2. Clean the tip of the middle finger or ring finger with cotton wool moistened with alcohol. Press the lancet firmly against the side of the previously cleaned finger and press the release button. 3. Without pressing the bulb, put in contact the plastic pipette with the blood sample. The whole blood migrates into the pipette through capillarity to the line indicated on the pipette. 4. Dispense the blood into the sample well of the cassette, pressing down on the bulb of the pipette. Wait 30-40 seconds for blood absorption. Unscrew the blue cap from the dropper bottle, keeping the white cap secure. Add 4 drops of diluent to the well, spacing each drop 2-3 seconds apart. Read the result after 10 minutes. Do not interpret after 15 minutes.
