Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is an enzyme inside the liver cells. The bigger the liver damage, the more of it will be present in the blood.
Also Known As: ALT/SGPT
Albumin is the smallest protein molecule in our blood and every single albumin in it is produced in the liver. It is a sensitive indicator of liver and kidney function.
Alkaline phosphatase is predominantly produced in liver, kidney, and bones. It is an extremely important diagnostic tool for hepatitis, cirrhosis, cholecystitis and many other serious health conditions.
Also Known As: ALP
This test measures Ammonia levels in the blood. Ammonia is produced in the body during the digestion of protein. It is normally broken down by the liver and then passed through the kidneys where it is removed from the body in urine. If any of the body's natural processes for removing ammonia do not function properly, ammonia can build up causing health problems.

Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme inside the liver cells. The bigger the liver damage, the more of it will be present in the blood.
Also Known As: AST(SGOT)
Measurement of the levels of bilirubin is used in the diagnosis and treatment of liver, hemolytic, hematologic, and metabolic disorders, including hepatitis and gallbladder obstruction. The assessment of direct bilirubin is helpful in the differentiation of hepatic disorders.
Also Known As: Bilirubin Conjugated
Measurement of the levels of bilirubin is used in the diagnosis and treatment of liver, hemolytic, hematologic, and metabolic disorders, including hepatitis and gallbladder obstruction. The increase in total bilirubin associated with obstructive jaundice is primarily due to the direct (conjugated) fraction.
Also Known As: T-Bili
Measurement of the levels of bilirubin is used in the diagnosis and treatment of liver, hemolytic, hematologic, and metabolic disorders, including hepatitis and gallbladder obstruction. The increase in total bilirubin associated with obstructive jaundice is primarily due to the direct (conjugated) fraction.
Also Known As: Conjugated and Unconjugated Bilirubin
BNP is increased in congestive heart failure, left ventricular hypertrophy, acute myocardial infarction, coronary angioplasty, and hypertension. Elevations are also observed in pulmonary hypertension (indicating right ventricular dysfunction), acute lung injury, hypervolemic states, chronic renal failure and cirrhosis.
Also Known As: B-Type Natriuretic Peptide
A large percentage of patients with gastrointestinal tumors (such as pancreatic, liver, gastric, colorectal tumors) and some other malignancies have been shown to have elevated serum CA 19-9 levels. Serum CA 19-9 levels may be useful for monitoring disease activity or predicting relapse following treatment.
Also Known As: Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9
Serum carnitine analysis is useful in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with carnitine deficiency (either primary or secondary).
Also Known As: Carnitor, Levocarnitine
Decreased levels of ceruloplasmin are found in Wilson's Disease, fulminant liver failure, intestinal malabsorption, renal failure resulting in proteinuria, chronic active hepatitis and malnutrition. Elevated levels are found in primary biliary cirrhosis, pregnancy (first trimester), oral contraceptive use and in acute inflammatory conditions since ceruloplasmin is an acute phase reactant.
Chloride is the major extracellular anion and counterbalances the major cation, sodium, maintaining electrical neutrality of the body fluids. Two thirds of the total anion concentration in extracellular fluids is chloride and it is significantly involved in maintaining proper hydration and osmotic pressure.
Also Known As: Cl
