A 25-hydroxy vitamin D test measures the level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in your blood. This form of vitamin D is the most reliable indicator of your vitamin D status. Vitamin D is essential for maintaining healthy bones and teeth, supporting immune system function, and regulating calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood. This test helps diagnose vitamin D deficiency or excess and monitor the effectiveness of vitamin D supplementation.

An Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) test measures the amount of ALT enzyme in your blood. ALT is primarily found in the liver, and it plays a vital role in converting alanine, an amino acid, into pyruvate, an intermediate in cellular energy production. The test helps assess liver function and detect liver damage.

An albumin test measures the amount of albumin in your blood. Albumin is a protein made by your liver, and it plays a crucial role in maintaining the osmotic pressure needed for the proper distribution of body fluids between body tissues and the bloodstream. It also transports hormones, vitamins, and drugs throughout the body.

An alkaline phosphatase (ALP) test measures the amount of ALP enzyme in your blood. ALP is found in several tissues throughout the body, with higher concentrations in the liver, bile ducts, and bones. This test helps diagnose and monitor conditions related to the liver, bones, and bile ducts.

An ammonia test measures the amount of ammonia in your blood. Ammonia is a waste product formed primarily from the breakdown of proteins by bacteria in the intestines. Normally, the liver converts ammonia into urea, which is then excreted by the kidneys. Elevated levels of ammonia in the blood can indicate liver dysfunction or other metabolic conditions.

An amylase test measures the amount of amylase enzyme in your blood or urine. Amylase is an enzyme produced primarily by the pancreas and the salivary glands that helps digest carbohydrates. This test is often used to diagnose and monitor conditions related to the pancreas, such as pancreatitis, or other digestive disorders.

An Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) test measures the amount of AST enzyme in your blood. AST is found in various tissues throughout the body, including the liver, heart, muscles, and kidneys. It plays a role in amino acid metabolism. This test helps diagnose and monitor liver damage, heart disease, and other conditions affecting tissues where AST is present.

A bilirubin test measures the amount of bilirubin in your blood. Bilirubin is a yellow pigment that is produced during the normal breakdown of red blood cells. The test typically measures two types of bilirubin:

Unconjugated (Indirect) Bilirubin: This form has not yet been processed by the liver.
Conjugated (Direct) Bilirubin: This form has been processed by the liver and is water-soluble.
This test helps diagnose and monitor liver function, bile duct health, and conditions that cause increased breakdown of red blood cells.

Protect sample from light.

A Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) test measures the amount of urea nitrogen in your blood. Urea nitrogen is a waste product formed in the liver when protein is metabolized and broken down. It is then filtered out of the blood by the kidneys and excreted in urine. The BUN test helps assess kidney function and can help diagnose and monitor kidney disease, dehydration, and other conditions affecting the kidneys.

A calcium test measures the amount of calcium in your blood. Calcium is essential for many bodily functions, including bone formation, muscle contraction, nerve function, and blood clotting. This test helps diagnose and monitor conditions related to the bones, kidneys, parathyroid gland, and other aspects of metabolism.

A carbon dioxide (CO2) test measures the amount of carbon dioxide in your blood. This test usually measures the total amount of carbon dioxide, which is present in the form of bicarbonate (HCO3-). The CO2 test helps evaluate the acid-base balance in your blood and can aid in diagnosing and monitoring conditions affecting the lungs, kidneys, and metabolic processes.

A chloride test measures the level of chloride in your blood. Chloride is an electrolyte that helps maintain fluid balance, acid-base balance, and proper muscle and nerve function. This test helps diagnose and monitor conditions related to electrolyte imbalances, kidney function, and acid-base disorders.
