Alanine aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT)- an enzyme found primarily in the liver. Abnormalities may represent liver disease.
Albumin - serum one of the major proteins in the blood and a reflection of the general state of
nutrition.
Albumin/Globulin ratio - Calculated by dividing the albumin by the globulin.
Alkaline phosphatase - A body protein important in diagnosing proper bone and liver functions.
Aspartate aminotransferase (AST or SGOT) - an enzyme found in skeletal and heart muscle, liver and other organs. Abnormalities may represent liver disease.
Bilirubin - Total A chemical involved with liver functions. High concentrations may result in jaundice.
Gamma Glutamyl transferase (GGTP) - an enzyme which can be an early indicator of liver abnormalities. It is highly sensitive to recent ingestion of alcohol.
Globulin, Total - A major group of proteins in the blood comprising the infection fighting antibodies.
Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) - An enzyme found mostly in the heart, muscles, liver, kidney, brain, and red blood cells. When an organ of the body is damaged, LDH is released in greater quantity into the blood stream.
Protein, Total - Together with albumin, it is a measure of the state of nutrition in the body.
