Two core organ-function panels in one blood draw, so you can see how your liver and kidneys are working side by side.
Liver function
LFT Panel. A full liver function panel: the enzymes and proteins that show how your liver is working and coping with its workload.
Kidney function
U&E and Creatinine. Urea, electrolytes and creatinine: the markers that show how well your kidneys are filtering.
Three steps, no GP needed
Book a slot or walk in

What people say
Friendly and competent staff. Both at reception and the nurse. A much simpler process than going through doctors. Thank you ladies.
The staff at reception as well as the nurses are friendly and professional. I've also always received results timeously. I would give 10 stars if I could.
Highly highly highly recommend. The experience was painless and the practice was inviting and well kept. The report was extremely detailed and informative and I would have this as top of my list for preventive care.
Amazing experience, highly professional staff. Very reasonable prices. Highly recommend.
I cannot recommend Juliette and her team enough, friendly and kind from the get go. Bloods were drawn with minimal discomfort and the labs came back quickly.
Excellent experience at Epicentre. The staff were professional, kind, and took time to explain everything clearly. The facility was clean, booking was easy, and I did not feel rushed.
What this does not do
These panels show how your liver and kidneys are working at one point in time. They are a starting point for a conversation, not a diagnosis on their own.
- A single result is a snapshot; trends over time tell you more.
- They do not diagnose liver or kidney disease on their own; unusual results are followed up with your doctor.
- If you are on medication that needs monitoring, follow the testing schedule your doctor sets rather than relying on ad-hoc tests.
- Results are meant to inform a discussion with a registered practitioner.
