|
GlycoMark®, 1-5 Anhydroglucitol is an approved assay for monitoring glycemic control in diabetic patients.
|
The Liver Function Panel measures 7 liver chemistries to evaluate liver function and health. The tests are Alanine aminotransferase (ALT/SGPT), Albumin, Alkaline phosphatase , Aspartate aminotransferase (AST/SGOT), Direct Bilirubin Total Bilirubin, Total Protein.
|
Total protein in serum test measures the amount of total protein in blood. It is used to help evaluate disorders affecting albumin or immunoglobulin levels.
