Alk Phos stands for Alkaline Phosphatase is an enzyme found in many tissues throughout the body, but mainly in the liver, bones, and bile ducts. When the liver or bones are damaged, the levels of Alk Phos in the blood may increase. Alk Phos is used as a marker to detect liver and bone diseases and to monitor the effectiveness of treatment.
AST stands for Aspartate Aminotransferase, which is an enzyme found in many organs, including the liver, heart, and muscles. When cells in these organs are damaged, AST leaks out into the bloodstream and its levels increase. Therefore, measuring AST levels in the blood can help identify damage or disease in these organs. Elevated levels of AST in the blood can be an indicator of liver disease, heart disease, or muscle injury.
ALT stands for Alanine Aminotransferase is an enzyme found primarily in the liver. When liver cells are damaged or die, ALT is released into the bloodstream, and the blood level of ALT rises. An ALT blood test is used to help detect liver damage or disease, as well as monitor treatment for liver disorders. Elevated ALT levels may be caused by conditions such as hepatitis, fatty liver disease, or alcohol abuse.
Gamma-glutamyl transferase is an enzyme found in many tissues, including the liver, pancreas, and kidneys. The Gamma GT test measures the level of GGT in the blood. High levels of GGT in the blood can indicate liver disease or damage, alcohol abuse, or other conditions that affect the liver. However, the Gamma GT test is not specific to liver disease and can also be elevated in other conditions, such as diabetes or heart disease.
Proteins are important molecules that play various roles in the body, including building and repairing tissues, transporting molecules, and helping to fight infections. The test is used to help diagnose and monitor conditions that affect protein levels in the blood, such as liver and kidney disease, malnutrition, and some types of cancer.
Albumin is a protein produced by the liver. The albumin test measures the level of albumin in your blood. Abnormal levels of albumin in your blood can indicate problems with liver function, kidney function, or malnutrition. The albumin test is often used to monitor liver and kidney function and to diagnose and manage a range of medical conditions.
Globulin is a blood test that measures the level of globulin, a type of protein in your blood. Globulins are produced by the liver and immune system and play a role in maintaining your immune system and transporting other substances in the blood. The test can help detect conditions such as liver or kidney disease, malnutrition, and autoimmune disorders.
