ALB (Albumin) – Low levels of this protein can be an indication of chronic liver or kidney disease or of a parasitic infection.

ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase) – These are found in liver, bone, kidney and intestines. High levels of this enzyme may indicate organ disease.

ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase) – Increased levels of this enzyme can be a sign of liver disease.

AMY (Amylase) – Elevated blood levels may indicate pancreatic and/or kidney disease.

TBIL (Total Bilirubin) – Bilirubin, a component of bile, is secreted by the liver into the intestinal tract. Blood bilirubin levels are helpful in evaluating liver disease and certain anemias.

BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) – BUN is produced by the liver and excreted by the kidneys. Testing for it helps detect liver and kidney abnormalities.

CA++, NA+ and K+ (electrolytes) – Identifying imbalances is important in the evaluation of various illnesses.

PHOS (Phosphorus) – Elevated levels may indicate kidney disease.

CRE (Creatinine) – Elevated levels of creatinine can indicate kidney disease or urinary obstruction.

GLU (Glucose) – High blood glucose may indicate diabetes or stress. Low levels may be signs of liver disease.

TP (Total Protein) – Total Protein helps with the diagnosis of many conditions including liver, kidney and gastrointestinal disease.

GLOB (Globulin) – These liver proteins are found in the blood and give a good indication about liver function.

T4 (Thyroid Test) – T4 fluctuation may indicate thyroid disease or secondary liver, kidney or metabolic abnormalities.

CHOL (Cholesterol) – Elevated levels of cholesterol can be an indication of a variety of disorders including hypothyroidism, liver and kidney disease.

CBC (Complete Blood Count) is a hematology test that provides measurements of red blood cells (carry oxygen to the tissues of the body and remove carbon dioxide to be exhaled from the lungs), white blood cells (play an important role in fighting infection) and platelets (play a vital role in blood clotting). The CBC is an important tool that can indicate anemia, leukemia, stress, inflammation, infection and blood clotting capabilities.
