Vital Organ Function Markers
Blood markers assessing liver function, kidney function, and electrolyte balance including ALT, AST, creatinine, and electrolytes.
About Vital Organ Function Markers
Vital organ function markers assess the health and function of your major organs, primarily the liver and kidneys. Liver function tests include enzymes (ALT, AST, GGT, ALP) and proteins (albumin, total protein, bilirubin). Kidney function is assessed through creatinine, BUN, and calculated eGFR. Electrolytes (sodium, potassium) are also monitored for proper cellular function.
These markers help detect liver disease, kidney dysfunction, and electrolyte imbalances early, often before symptoms appear. They're essential for monitoring medication effects, assessing hydration status, and ensuring vital organs are functioning optimally.
