Liver Fibrosis FibroTest ActiTest Panel
The FibroTest ActiTest panel is a noninvasive blood test that combines several markers a clinician can use to help assess liver fibrosis and liver activity. It brings established blood markers together into a single, calculated view.
About this panel
The liver can respond to long-term stress by building up scar-like tissue, a process broadly described as fibrosis, and it can also show varying degrees of ongoing activity. The FibroTest ActiTest panel gathers a set of routine blood markers and combines them, along with basic personal details, into scores that a clinician can use to help gauge these processes without an invasive procedure.
The panel is done with a routine blood draw at a Quest patient service center. A phlebotomist collects a sample from a vein, usually in the arm, and the sample goes to the laboratory, where the component markers are measured and combined into the panel's scores.

Additional details
What this panel looks at
The panel looks at a group of routine blood markers and combines them into scores meant to help a clinician assess two related things: the degree of fibrosis, or scar-like change, and the level of ongoing activity in the liver. By calculating a combined view from established markers, it gives a clinician a noninvasive estimate to consider next to everything else they know about a person.
Because the scores are built from underlying markers that can move for many reasons, they are best understood as an aid to assessment rather than a definitive measure. A clinician weighs them thoughtfully within a larger picture.
How it is often used
Clinicians commonly use noninvasive panels like this to help assess liver fibrosis and activity and to follow how they change over time. Because the panel is blood-based and repeatable, it can be useful for watching trends within a person's care, alongside imaging, history, and other tests. It is one input a clinician weighs rather than a stand-alone conclusion, and it works best as part of a plan a clinician is already guiding.

Frequently asked questions
What does the FibroTest ActiTest panel measure?
It combines several routine blood markers into calculated scores that a clinician can use to help assess liver fibrosis, or scar-like change, and the level of ongoing liver activity.
Is this panel invasive?
No. It is a noninvasive, blood-based panel done with a routine draw. It offers an estimate that supports a clinician's assessment rather than replacing the other tools a clinician may use.
Does the panel replace other liver evaluations?
No. It is one input a clinician weighs alongside imaging, history, and other tests. The scores are designed to support an assessment, not to serve as a stand-alone conclusion.
How is the sample collected?
Through a routine blood draw at a Quest patient service center. A phlebotomist takes a small sample from a vein in the arm, and the laboratory measures and combines the component markers.
Do I need to prepare?
Follow any preparation instructions your ordering clinician provides, since some liver-related markers can be sensitive to recent circumstances and individual situations vary.
What does a Liver Fibrosis FibroTest ActiTest Panel test cost without insurance?
$1045. Celio Health's price is a flat cash price and insurance is never billed: the required physician's order is included.
Do I need to prepare for this test?
Fast overnight before your blood draw if you can. This is the preparation Quest publishes for this test; if your clinician gives you different instructions, follow theirs.
