HepQuant Fact

All the major manifestations of liver disease, such as ascites, varices, and encephalopathy, are related to an altered portal circulation. HepQuant tests were designed to assess the portal circulation – test parameters are continuous variables that may be correlated to clinical features or may be followed over time to measure disease progression. HepQuant tests are non-invasive, uses stable (not radioactive) isotopes, and relies on natural, well-defined hepatic functions to measure the portal circulation.
