10283. Package #4.1.3 (Electrolytes/Liver tests: potassium, sodium, chlorine, ALT, AST, GGT)

Package No. 4.1.3 (Electrolytes/Liver Function Tests: Potassium, Sodium, Chloride, ALT, AST, GGT) is designed for a comprehensive assessment of fluid and electrolyte balance and liver function. It helps identify imbalances in potassium, sodium, and chloride levels, which affect the heart, kidneys, and nervous system, and determine liver function using ALT, AST, and GGT enzymes, which indicate inflammation or liver cell damage.

Sodium, potassium, and chloride are the body's primary electrolytes. Present in tissues and blood as salt solutions, they help transport nutrients into cells and remove waste products from cells, maintaining fluid balance and proper acidity.

ALT and AST are enzymes necessary for amino acid metabolism. Although these enzymes can also be detected in many other tissues and organs (heart, skeletal muscle, kidneys, brain, red blood cells), changes in their blood concentrations are most often associated with liver disease. ALT is considered a more specific marker of liver disease than AST.

• If a water-electrolyte imbalance is suspected.
• If symptoms of liver disease are present.
• To monitor the treatment of chronic liver diseases.
• If intoxication or liver damage is suspected.

• Venous blood
