  3. Urea (Blood Urea Nitrogen – BUN)
    • Indicates renal health and evaluates kidney efficiency.
  4. Creatinine
    • Provides a precise measure of kidney function and filtration capability.
  5. Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)
    • Detects liver disease, liver damage, and potential bone disorders.
  6. Aspartate Transferase (AST)
    • Identifies liver damage and monitors conditions such as hepatitis or medication effects.

  9. Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT)
    • Detects liver issues and bile flow obstructions.
  10. Calcium
  • Evaluates bone and teeth health, as well as other essential physiological functions.
  1. Uric Acid
  • Diagnoses gout and monitors risks for kidney stones.
  1. Cholesterol
  • Assesses risk for heart and vascular diseases, including heart attack and stroke.
  1. HDL Cholesterol (“Good Cholesterol”)
  • Measures levels of protective cholesterol to reduce cardiovascular risks.
  1. LDL Cholesterol (“Bad Cholesterol”)
