Test Included:

• Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) Test

  • A blood test measuring ALT, an enzyme mainly found in the liver.
  • Elevated ALT levels often indicate liver cell injury.
  • A common liver function test.
  • Helps monitor liver health and the effectiveness of treatments for liver conditions.

• Albumin Test

  • A blood test measuring albumin, a major protein produced by the liver.
  • Low albumin can indicate liver disease, kidney disease, or malnutrition.
  • Helps evaluate overall health and protein levels in the blood.
  • A common test to check the liver's ability to produce this essential protein.

• Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) Test

  • A blood test measuring ALT, an enzyme mainly found in the liver.
  • Elevated ALT levels often indicate liver cell injury.
  • A common liver function test.
  • Helps monitor liver health and the effectiveness of treatments for liver conditions.

• Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST/SGOT) Test

  • A blood test measuring the enzyme aspartate aminotransferase (AST), also known as SGOT.
  • Elevated AST levels can indicate injury to the liver, heart, muscles, or other organs.
  • A common biochemical test, often ordered with ALT.
  • Helps assess tissue damage and organ function.

• Bilirubin Conjugated

  • Helps assess liver function and identify causes of jaundice.
  • Elevated conjugated bilirubin often indicates a blockage in the bile ducts or impaired bilirubin excretion by the liver.
  • A component of bilirubin testing.
  • Provides information about the liver's ability to process and eliminate bilirubin.

• Bilirubin Unconjugated

  • Helps assess liver function and identify causes of jaundice.
  • Elevated unconjugated bilirubin often indicates increased red blood cell breakdown or impaired bilirubin uptake by the liver.
  • A component of bilirubin testing.
  • Provides information about bilirubin production and initial processing by the liver.

• Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) Test

  • A blood test measuring the amount of urea nitrogen in the blood.
  • Elevated BUN levels can indicate impaired kidney function.
  • Often ordered with creatinine to evaluate kidney health.
  • Reflects the amount of nitrogen from urea, a waste product of protein metabolism.

• Calcium Test

  • A blood test measuring the level of calcium in the blood.
  • Abnormal calcium levels can indicate various medical conditions.
  • Measures total calcium in the blood, which includes free and protein-bound calcium.
  • Helps evaluate electrolyte balance and metabolic function.

• Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Test

  • A blood test measuring the level of carbon dioxide in the blood.
  • Abnormal CO2 levels can indicate respiratory or metabolic disturbances.
  • Often part of an electrolyte panel.
  • Reflects the bicarbonate (HCO3-) level, a major component of the body's buffering system.

• Chloride Test

  • A blood test measuring the level of chloride in the blood.
  • Abnormal chloride levels can indicate various medical conditions, including kidney problems and dehydration.
  • Often part of an electrolyte panel.
  • Chloride is an important electrolyte that works with other electrolytes to maintain bodily functions.

• Creatinine Test

  • A blood test measuring the level of creatinine in the blood.
  • Elevated creatinine levels often indicate impaired kidney function.
  • Often ordered with BUN to evaluate kidney health.
  • Creatinine is a waste product of muscle metabolism filtered by the kidneys.

• GFR

  • Estimates how well the kidneys are filtering waste from the blood.
  • Calculated based on creatinine levels, age, sex, and sometimes race.
  • Lower GFR values indicate reduced kidney function.
  • Used to stage chronic kidney disease.

• Glucose Test

  • A blood test measuring the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood.
  • Elevated glucose levels can indicate hyperglycemia (high blood sugar).
  • Usually performed after an overnight fast (fasting glucose).
  • Reflects the body's ability to regulate blood sugar.

• Phosphorus Test

  • A blood test measuring the level of phosphorus in the blood.
  • Abnormal phosphorus levels can indicate various medical conditions.
  • Phosphorus is an important electrolyte involved in bone health and energy production.
  • Often ordered with calcium to evaluate mineral balance.

• Potassium Test

  • A blood test measuring the level of potassium in the blood.
  • Abnormal potassium levels (high or low) can affect heart and muscle function.
  • Often part of an electrolyte panel.
  • Potassium is a crucial electrolyte for nerve and muscle cell function.

• Sodium (Na+) Test

  • A blood test measuring the level of sodium in the blood.
  • Abnormal sodium levels (high or low) can affect bodily functions, including nerve and muscle activity.
  • Often part of an electrolyte panel.
  • Sodium is a major electrolyte that helps regulate fluid balance in the body.

• Total Bilirubin Test

  • A blood test measuring the total amount of bilirubin in the blood.
  • Elevated total bilirubin levels can cause jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes).
  • Includes both conjugated (direct) and unconjugated (indirect) bilirubin.
  • Reflects the liver's ability to process and excrete bilirubin.

   

• Total Protein Test

  • A blood test measuring the total amount of protein in the blood.
  • Includes two main types of protein: albumin and globulins.
  • Abnormal total protein levels can indicate various medical conditions.
  • Provides a general overview of protein levels in the bloodstream.
