Components
FibroTest combines 5 standard biomarkers (gamma-glutamyltransferase, total bilirubin, alpha-2-macroglobulin, apolipoprotein A1, and haptoglobin). The ActiTest adds a marker for inflammatory activity (alanine aminotransferase: ALT). These markers are weighted depending on the patient's age and gender.
