Home blood testing

Hi, I am new to this forum so it is nice to meet you all.

Just have a quick question, I have had an ultrasound and found to have a fatty liver (falls just inside acceptable apparently) and a simple cyst. I only found out this from the nurse as I had gone to see her about something else. My GP now offers those home testing kits, I am thinking of doing one for liver and kidney (starting to have foaming urine at sparodic times) as I am losing trust in my GP. Has anyone had one and do you think they are reliable.

Thank you in advance.

Not from my GP( I take blood at home anyway and drop it off at them to get processed), but I have used the ones from Thriva before and found them to have the same results as ones from my GP. I would recommend taking the sample as close to last pickup time as a possible and never do one on a weekend.
