Liver health is often overlooked until symptoms become serious. A liver check-up at King’s College Hospital London, Dubai Bahrain Clinic helps patients in Bahrain understand how well their liver is functioning and whether there are early signs of fatty liver disease, inflammation, fibrosis, or metabolic risk factors.
The liver check-up is especially useful for people with diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol, insulin resistance, family history of liver disease, or abnormal liver blood test results. Through King’s Bahrain Clinic, patients can be assessed locally and connected to King’s College Hospital Dubai for advanced hepatology, FibroScan, liver disease management, and specialist care when needed.
What is included in a liver check-up?
A liver check-up is used to detect early liver problems before they become advanced. It may include a specialist consultation, blood tests, metabolic screening, and liver stiffness assessment such as FibroScan when clinically required.
What does a liver check-up do?
A liver check-up helps identify whether the liver is under stress, inflamed, fatty, scarred, or affected by another condition. It also helps doctors assess related risks such as diabetes, insulin resistance, high cholesterol, and metabolic syndrome.
The assessment may include:
- Review of symptoms, lifestyle, family history, and risk factors
- Liver function blood tests
- Complete blood count
- HbA1c and blood sugar assessment
- Fasting insulin and insulin resistance screening
- Lipid profile
- FibroScan referral when needed
- Specialist hepatology or gastroenterology review
When should you see us?
You should consider a liver check-up if you have abnormal liver blood tests, fatty liver, diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, insulin resistance, unexplained tiredness, abdominal discomfort, or a family history of liver disease.
It is also suitable for patients who feel well but want a preventive assessment, especially if they have metabolic risk factors.
