ALT test in Jumeirah, read by a doctor.
Most Jumeirah residents who book a ALT with us have either a family history, a vague symptom they can't shake, or a "borderline" result from somewhere else. Fatty liver is now the leading cause of chronic liver disease and strongly predicts cardiometabolic disease.
Why Jumeirah patients use us
Jumeirah's villa communities and family-focused residents are a perfect fit for what Aafiyah does best — continuity of care for the whole family. Rather than a different doctor every time someone in the household is unwell, our Jumeirah families work with one named GP who knows everyone's history, from the kids' vaccinations to a parent's blood pressure monitoring. Home visits, blood tests and IV therapy are all available across Jumeirah, and our Gold and Platinum memberships are particularly popular here for families wanting one less thing to think about when it comes to healthcare.
