Find Answers for Recurrent Liver Concerns
When liver problems keep returning without clear explanation, it can feel overwhelming and isolating. The ATP8B1 Gene Cholestasis test offers the clarity you’ve been searching for – a definitive genetic diagnosis that explains those recurring episodes and provides a clear path forward for your health journey.
Understanding Your ATP8B1 Cholestasis Test
This specialised genetic test examines your ATP8B1 gene using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology – the most advanced method available. The ATP8B1 gene plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy bile flow from your liver. When this gene has specific mutations, it can cause benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis – a condition where bile builds up in the liver, leading to recurring episodes of jaundice, itching, and fatigue.
Unlike standard liver function tests that only show current problems, our genetic test identifies the root cause, giving you lifelong answers about your liver health.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Recurrent episodes of jaundice (yellowing skin/eyes)
- Persistent itching without clear cause
- Unexplained fatigue during liver flare-ups
- Dark urine and pale stools during episodes
- Family history of similar liver problems
- Multiple normal liver tests between episodes
If you’ve been told your liver issues are “benign” but they keep returning, this test provides the genetic confirmation you need for proper management.
