FAQ’s

It's important to discuss these questions with your podiatrist to understand the best course of treatment for a fungal toenail infection.

Why is a liver function blood test necessary before starting the medication?

A liver function blood test is often necessary before starting certain medications, including oral antifungal prescription medications, because these medications can potentially affect the liver. The liver plays a crucial role in metabolizing drugs, and some medications, although rare, can cause liver damage or affect liver function.

The liver function blood test helps assess the health of the liver by measuring the levels of various enzymes, proteins, and other substances in the blood that are produced or processed by the liver. By evaluating these levels, healthcare providers can determine if the liver is functioning normally or if there are any signs of liver dysfunction or damage.

Before starting medication, a liver function test serves several purposes:

Baseline Assessment: The test establishes a baseline measurement of liver function, allowing healthcare providers to compare future test results and identify any changes or abnormalities that may occur during the course of treatment.

Pre-existing Liver Conditions: If a patient already has an underlying liver condition, such as hepatitis or liver disease, the liver function test helps determine the current state of their liver health. This information is vital for prescribing medications and monitoring any potential risks or interactions.

Medication Safety: Certain medications, including antifungal drugs, have the potential to affect liver function. By conducting a liver function test before starting the medication, healthcare providers can identify any pre-existing liver issues that may increase the risk of adverse effects.

Ultimately, the liver function blood test provides valuable information about the patient's liver health, allowing healthcare providers to make informed decisions regarding the suitability and safety of starting specific medications, including oral antifungal prescription medications.

What does the liver function blood test involve?

A liver function blood test is a simple blood test that measures different markers related to liver health. It checks levels of enzymes like ALT, AST, and ALP, as well as substances like bilirubin, albumin, total protein, and prothrombin time. These markers help evaluate liver function and detect any potential liver damage or disease. The test involves drawing a small blood sample from a vein in your arm. The results are used by healthcare providers to assess your liver health and determine the best course of action.

How often will I need to repeat the liver function blood test during my course of medication?

The frequency of liver function blood tests during your course of medication can vary depending on several factors, including the specific medication you are taking, your medical history, and the healthcare provider's recommendations. Generally, healthcare providers may monitor liver function at regular intervals to ensure your liver is functioning properly while taking oral antifungal prescription medication.

In many cases, the initial liver function blood test before starting the medication establishes a baseline measurement. Subsequent tests may then be scheduled periodically to monitor any changes or abnormalities. The frequency of these tests can vary but is typically determined by your healthcare provider.

For some medications, such as those known to have a higher risk of liver toxicity, more frequent monitoring may be necessary. In such cases, liver function blood tests may be conducted monthly or every few months during the course of medication.

It's important to communicate with your healthcare provider to understand the specific monitoring plan for your situation. They will consider factors such as the medication's potential impact on the liver, your medical history, and any pre-existing liver conditions to determine the appropriate timing and frequency of follow-up liver function tests. Regular monitoring helps ensure the safety and effectiveness of the medication while minimizing potential risks to your liver health.

How will the liver function blood test results be used to monitor my liver health?

Liver function blood test results are used by healthcare providers to monitor your liver health during medication and identify any potential issues or changes in liver function. Here's how the test results are typically used:

Baseline Comparison: The initial liver function test provides a baseline measurement of your liver health before starting the medication. Subsequent tests are then compared to this baseline to detect any abnormalities or deviations.

Monitoring Liver Function: The test results help evaluate the levels of enzymes, proteins, and other substances associated with liver health. Significant changes in these markers may indicate liver damage or dysfunction caused by the medication.

Identifying Liver Toxicity: Certain medications, including oral antifungal prescription medications, have the potential to cause liver toxicity. Monitoring liver function through blood tests helps identify early signs of drug-induced liver injury and allows healthcare providers to take appropriate action.

Adjusting Medication Dosage: If liver function test results indicate impaired liver function or potential toxicity, healthcare providers may consider adjusting the dosage or discontinuing the medication to prevent further liver damage.

Assessing Overall Health: Liver function tests are often part of a comprehensive evaluation of your overall health. Abnormal results can provide insights into liver conditions beyond medication-related effects, such as liver diseases or other health issues.

By closely monitoring your liver function through blood tests, healthcare providers can proactively detect and address any liver-related concerns during your course of medication. It allows them to make informed decisions regarding the medication's safety, adjust the treatment plan if necessary, and ensure your liver remains healthy throughout the treatment period.

What happens if the liver function blood test shows abnormalities?

If the liver function blood test shows abnormalities, further evaluation and action will be taken by your podiatrist. The specific steps taken will depend on the nature and severity of the abnormalities, as well as your individual circumstances. Here are some possible actions that may be taken:

Additional Testing: Your podiatrist may order further tests to gather more information about your liver health. This could include more specific liver function tests, imaging studies (such as an ultrasound or CT scan), or other specialized tests to assess liver function and detect any underlying liver conditions.

Medication Adjustment: If the abnormalities are believed to be related to the medication you are taking, your podiatrist may consider adjusting the dosage, changing the medication, or discontinuing it altogether. This decision will be made based on the potential risks and benefits of the medication and the impact on your liver health.

Close Monitoring: Depending on the severity of the abnormalities and the underlying cause, your podiatrist may choose to closely monitor your liver function by scheduling more frequent blood tests. This allows them to track any changes and ensure that your liver health improves over time or stabilizes.

Referral to a Specialist: In complex cases or if there is a suspected underlying liver condition, your podiatrist may refer you to a liver specialist, such as a hepatologist or gastroenterologist, for further evaluation and management.

Lifestyle Recommendations: Your podiatrist may provide guidance on lifestyle changes that can support liver health. This could include recommendations to avoid alcohol, maintain a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and avoid potentially hepatotoxic substances.

It's important to remember that the course of action will depend on your specific situation, and decisions will be made by your podiatrist based on their clinical judgment and expertise. They will carefully assess the abnormalities in your liver function test results and work with you to develop an appropriate plan to address the underlying cause and protect your liver health.

Who will carry out the liver function blood test?

The podiatrist is fully qualified to carry out liver function blood tests, she has completed and successfully passed a phlebotomy and cannula training course and insured to offer this service.

This allows for the convenience of having the entire treatment, including the blood tests, conducted in one place by the same professional, ensuring continuity of care and efficiency. It can also expedite the initiation of treatment without the need for multiple appointments with different practitioners.

Is the liver function blood test painful?

No, a liver function blood test is generally not painful. The blood test itself involves a small needle being inserted into a vein in your arm to collect a blood sample. While you may feel a brief prick or stinging sensation when the needle is inserted, the discomfort is usually minimal and short-lived.

Most people find the procedure to be relatively quick and tolerable. The podiatrist performing the blood draw will make efforts to minimize discomfort and ensure your comfort during the process. After the blood is drawn, you may experience temporary mild bruising or soreness at the site, but this usually resolves quickly.

If you are particularly sensitive to needles or have concerns about pain, it can be helpful to communicate this to your podiatrist beforehand. They may be able to use techniques to help make the process more comfortable for you.

Overall, while everyone's pain tolerance can vary, a liver function blood test is typically considered to be a routine and generally painless procedure.

Do I need to do anything to prepare for the liver function blood test?

The specific preparation instructions for a liver function blood test can vary depending on the healthcare provider and the laboratory performing the test. However, in many cases, you may be advised to follow these general guidelines:

Fasting: It is possible that you may be instructed to fast for a certain period before the blood test, typically around 8 to 9 hours. This means refraining from consuming any food or drinks, except for water, during this fasting period. Fasting helps ensure accurate measurements of certain markers in the blood, including liver enzymes.

Water Intake: Drinking water before your appointment is generally encouraged as it helps ensure adequate hydration and can make it easier to draw blood. . It's best to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or the laboratory where the test will be conducted.

To ensure you have the correct instructions for your specific liver function blood test, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider or the facility performing the test. They will provide you with any specific preparation guidelines you need to follow, including fasting requirements and water intake instructions. Following these instructions will help ensure accurate and reliable test results.

Are there any risks with the surgery?

Like any surgical procedure, toenail removal surgery, carries some risks and potential complications. However, the risks are generally low, and the vast majority of people who undergo this procedure do not experience any significant problems. Some possible risks and complications of toenail removal surgery include:

Infection: There is a small risk of infection following toenail surgery. To reduce the risk of infection, your podiatrist may prescribe antibiotics, provide you with specific instructions for wound care, and advise you to keep the affected foot clean and dry.
Bleeding: Toenail surgery may cause bleeding, particularly if a large portion of the nail is removed. Your podiatrist will apply pressure to the site of the surgery to help stop any bleeding.
Nerve damage: Toenail surgery can potentially damage nerves in the toe, leading to numbness, tingling, or other sensory changes. This is a rare complication.
Regrowth of the nail: In some cases, the nail may grow back thicker or misshapen following toenail surgery. This is more likely if the nail bed is not fully removed during the procedure.
Allergic reaction: Some people may have an allergic reaction to the anesthesia used during the procedure.

It is important to discuss any potential risks and complications of toenail removal surgery with your podiatrist before the procedure to ensure that you are fully informed and prepared. Additionally, be sure to follow all post-operative instructions carefully to minimize the risk of complications and ensure a smooth recovery.

Will my insurance cover the cost of the liver function blood test?

Health insurance coverage for private liver function blood tests can vary. Insurance companies generally cover medically necessary laboratory tests ordered by a healthcare provider. Review your specific policy or contact your insurance provider to understand coverage details, as deductibles, copayments, and pre-authorization requirements may apply. Different coverage rules may exist for preventive screenings versus diagnostic tests. Discussing your needs with your insurance provider will provide accurate information about coverage for private liver function blood tests.
