BASIC CHEM 10 (HYPERTENSION AND LIVER SCREENING)

It’s all in the BLOOD. Have yourself CHECKED!

  • Lipid Profile (Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL, LDL/VDL)
  • FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar)
  • Creatinine
  • BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen)
  • BUA (Blood Uric Acid)
  • SGPT
  • SGOT

It includes all the Basic CHEM 8 test with the addition 2 basic liver function test. Liver function tests check the levels of certain enzymes and proteins in your blood. Levels that are higher or lower than normal can indicate liver problems. 

Alanine transaminase (ALT). ALT is an enzyme found in the liver that helps convert proteins into energy for the liver cells. When the liver is damaged, ALT is released into the bloodstream and levels increase.

Aspartate transaminase (AST). AST is an enzyme that helps metabolize amino acids. Like ALT, AST is normally present in blood at low levels. An increase in AST levels may indicate liver damage, disease or muscle damage.
