LIVER FUNCTION TESTS ARE A GROUP OF BLOOD TESTS THAT EVALUATE THE HEALTH AND FUNCTION OF YOUR LIVER. THEY MEASURE LEVELS OF VARIOUS ENZYMES, PROTEINS, AND SUBSTANCES PRODUCED BY THE LIVER. ABNORMAL RESULTS CAN INDICATE LIVER DAMAGE, INFLAMMATION, OR DISEASE. COMMON LIVER FUNCTION TESTS INCLUDE ALT, AST, ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE, BILIRUBIN, AND ALBUMIN. THESE TESTS HELP DIAGNOSE CONDITIONS LIKE HEPATITIS, CIRRHOSIS, AND FATTY LIVER DISEASE, AS WELL AS MONITOR LIVER HEALTH IN PEOPLE WITH CHRONIC CONDITIONS.

Kidney Function Tests (KFTs) evaluate how well your kidneys are filtering waste products from your blood. These tests typically include measurements of creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and electrolytes. By assessing these values, healthcare providers can identify potential kidney problems, monitor kidney disease progression, and evaluate the effectiveness of treatment. KFTs are crucial for individuals with diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of kidney disease.

A COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) IS A COMPREHENSIVE BLOOD TEST THAT PROVIDES INFORMATION ABOUT THE CELLS IN YOUR BLOOD. IT MEASURES THE NUMBER OF RED BLOOD CELLS, WHITE BLOOD CELLS, AND PLATELETS, AS WELL AS HEMOGLOBIN (THE PROTEIN THAT CARRIES OXYGEN) AND HEMATOCRIT (THE PERCENTAGE OF RED BLOOD CELLS IN YOUR BLOOD). A CBC IS USED TO DIAGNOSE AND MONITOR A WIDE RANGE OF CONDITIONS, INCLUDING ANEMIA, INFECTIONS, BLEEDING DISORDERS, AND BLOOD CANCERS.
