Kidney & Liver Tests

The Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP)screens your blood's electrolyte and fluid balance, glucose levels, and your kidney’s overall function.

This blood test screens for the level of Albumin in your blood. Albumin is the most common type of protein produced making up over 60% of the total protein in the blood.  It is produced by the liver and helps to transport other substances such as vitamins and enzymes through the blood.  

This blood test will check for your uric acid levels. These levels are useful in the diagnosis and treatment of gout, renal failure, and a variety of other disorders including psoriasis, starvation, and other wasting conditions. 

This blood test measures the level of Creatine in the blood.  Creatine is an amino acid produced by the Liver, Kidneys, and Pancreas.

The Hepatic Function screens for the following:

• Alanine Amino Transferase (ALT): An enzyme produced by the liver which is typically elevated in cases of liver damage.
• Aspartate Amino Transferase (AST): A liver enzyme which is typically elevated in cases of liver damage or Hepatitis.
• Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP): An enzyme found in the liver and bones which is increased when there is liver or bone damage.
• Protein, Total: A measure of albumin and all other proteins on the blood.
• Albumin: The main protein produced by the liver.
• Bilirubin, Total: Helps to identify conditions such as anemia , sickle cell, hepatitis, cirrhosis, alcohol and drug abuse.
• Bilirubin Direct: Used in conjunction with Total Bilirubin to aid in the diagnosis of liver disorders.
