Full profile
The expanded set eliminates “additions”: the doctor sees the whole picture - from enzymes and bilirubin fractions to electrolytes and uric acid, which is important for unclear complaints, preparation for major operations, and selection of therapy for patients with several diagnoses. The panel is noticeably more profitable than the sum of individual tests; the result is on one form for easy comparison over time.
When is it appointed?
- prevention - condition of the liver, kidneys, metabolism;
- preoperative examination;
- control when taking medications that affect the liver and kidneys;
- diabetes, gout, jaundice, edema - targeted diagnosis;
- monitoring of chronic diseases over time.
What is blood biochemistry
Biochemical tests measure organ function through molecules in the serum: liver enzymes (ALT/AST) “leak” when cells are damaged, bilirubin reflects bile metabolism, creatinine and urea - kidney filtration, glucose - carbohydrate metabolism. A panel of six key indicators closes the basic check; individual tests are selected in a targeted manner. Strictly on an empty stomach - otherwise some of the indicators will be distorted.
