Cardiff’s private GP Liver Function Test at Mayfield Clinic — discreet, professional care from a trusted private medical clinic in the heart of the city.
A Liver Function Test (LFT) is a simple blood test used to check liver health and function. The test typically measures several markers, including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), bilirubin, and albumin. These results help our clinicians assess whether the liver is inflamed, damaged, or not functioning as it should. LFTs are commonly used to monitor known liver conditions or to investigate symptoms such as abdominal discomfort, persistent fatigue, or other signs that may relate to liver health.
At Mayfield Clinic, Cardiff, we offer targeted liver testing as part of our comprehensive blood tests service. If you’ve been told to check your liver health or you’re seeking a private alternative to NHS pathways, our clinicians provide accurate testing and clear interpretation in plain language. This service can be a helpful first step in identifying issues early and guiding next steps in care. As part of our linked Cardiff Blood Tests service, you can access a full panel of tests through a single private GP consultation.
A blood test (LFT) to measure liver enzymes and other markers is typically quick. You’ll usually receive results within 24–48 hours after the blood sample is taken.
Yes. If you’re experiencing abdominal pain, persistent fatigue, or have risk factors such as alcohol use or certain medications, a Liver Function Test can help our private GPs assess liver health and guide further care.

Public guidance from the NHS states that liver disease can develop without obvious symptoms, and early diagnosis improves outcomes. For reliable private testing in Cardiff, our GPs use Liver Function Tests (LFTs) to assess liver health, screen for potential damage, and guide treatment for conditions such as fatty liver or hepatitis. For reference, you can learn more about liver disease on the NHS site: Liver disease - NHS UK.
Our private GPs in Cardiff will review your LFT results with you, discuss any lifestyle or medication factors that could affect the liver, and outline personalised next steps. If needed, we can tailor a plan, arrange follow-up testing, or refer you for specialist care while keeping you informed every step of the way. Private GPs use LFTs to assess your liver’s health, screen for damage, and guide treatment for conditions like fatty liver or hepatitis.
