not sure that you can do a self test to find out if you have liver disease, but i can suggest you do a liver cleanse to get rid of stones (everyone has them, if they've never cleansed before).
go to the following website & learn about liver & gallbladder stones & how to remove them. having stones in your body can cause a slew of diseases. i've done the cleanse a couple of times and it's amazing the stuff that comes out!

It is always a good idea to see a doctor because there are more efficient ways of detecting liver disease through blood labs.
Even if you did test for viruses that affect the liver, you will have to see a doctor anyway.
Sometimes you can have liver disease without the presence of a viral infection such as HCV or HBV.
If your having upper right quadrant pain or feel there may be an issue with your gallbladder, I would certainly head to the doctors office.
You will have to ask him specifically to test you for liver disease such as hcv or hbv because sometimes even in a normal liver panel blood lab, the alt and ast levels aren't always indicative of an issue because they sometimes remain well within the normal limits.
Other than ordering a test online, there really isn't a way to detect fatty liver/NASH or autoimmune hepatitis.
good luck

although u generally need to see a doctor for this but the internet does have at home testing kits for hepatitis which is a form of liver disease, you just google it. I would however inform you that your liver is a vital organ in living and if you want to continue to live, I would go to the doctor, bc if you do have liver disease you can be treated various different ways..Hope it all works out

Other than a blood test there is no way to find out if you have liver damage or liver disease.

You can't. You HAVE to see your doctor and have a urinalysis and blood work. No self-test exists.
