TESTS
Biochemical Dept

A biochemical department in a microbiological (or diagnostic) laboratory typically includes tests that evaluate the function of the body's main organs and systems through the analysis of biochemical markers in blood and other biological fluids.

Below are the main categories of tests:

1. Liver Function (liver enzymes)

   • AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase)

   • ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase)

   • ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase)

   • GGT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase)

   • Bilirubin (total, direct, indirect)

2. Kidney Function

   • Urea

   • Creatinine

   • Uric Acid

3. Electrolytes

   • Sodium (Na)

   • Potassium (K)

   • Chloride (Cl)

   • Calcium (Ca)

   • Phosphorus (P)

   • Magnesium (Mg)

4. Lipid Profile

   • Total Cholesterol

   • HDL (high-density lipoprotein)

   • LDL (low-density lipoprotein)

   • Triglycerides

5. Glucose and Glycemic Control Markers

   • Fasting Glucose

   • Glucose Tolerance Test

   • Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c)

6. Pancreatic Function

   • Amylase

   • Lipase

7. Proteins and Albumins

   • Total Protein

   • Albumin

   • Globulins

   • Albumin/Globulin (A/G) Ratio
