Total bilirubin
Total bilirubin is a biomarker that measures the sum of conjugated (direct) and unconjugated (indirect) bilirubin in the blood. It is a product of hemoglobin breakdown and is primarily processed by the liver. Elevated levels can indicate liver dysfunction or other health issues.

Total Protein
Blood Protein Level represents the total amount of proteins circulating in your bloodstream, primarily consisting of albumin and globulins. These proteins are crucial in managing fluid balance, bolstering your immune system, and transporting nutrients and hormones, reflecting the overall functionality of nutrient use, hydration, and tissue maintenance in your body.
Plasma albumin
Plasma albumin is the most abundant blood protein, produced by the liver. It maintains oncotic pressure, transports hormones and drugs, and serves as a marker of nutritional status and liver function. Low levels can indicate malnutrition, liver disease, kidney disease, or chronic inflammation.
Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)
Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme found primarily in the liver, heart, and skeletal muscles. It plays a crucial role in amino acid metabolism by facilitating the transfer of amino groups. Elevated AST levels can indicate liver damage, heart problems, or muscle injury.
Alanine aminotransferase (ALAT)
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is an enzyme primarily found in the liver cells. It catalyzes the conversion of alanine to pyruvate, playing a key role in glucose metabolism. Elevated ALT levels are a sensitive indicator of liver cell damage and are commonly used to assess liver wellness.
Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)
Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphate esters at alkaline pH, found in tissues like bone, liver, and intestine. It plays a role in bone calcification and phosphate transport
Gamma-glutamyltransferase (γ-GT)
Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) is an enzyme found in various tissues, with the highest concentrations in the liver and bile ducts. It plays a role in glutathione metabolism and amino acid transport. Elevated GGT levels often indicate liver disease, bile duct problems, or excessive alcohol consumption.
