Amylase and lipase tests are diagnostic tests that can provide valuable information about the health of your pancreas and digestive system. These tests measure the levels of enzymes in your body that are involved in the digestion of carbohydrates and fats. By analyzing the levels of amylase and lipase in your blood, healthcare professionals can diagnose and monitor conditions such as pancreatitis and pancreatic diseases, making them crucial tools in the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis.
Protein, Gloublin and Albumin - The major proteins seen in the serum are albumin and globulin-the latter being primarily alpha 1 and alpha 2 globulin, beta globulin and gamma globulin. Albumin accounts for more than 50% of the total serum proteins. The albumin to globulin (A/G) ratio has been used as an index of disease state, however, it is not a specific marker for disease because it does not indicate which specific proteins are altered. The normal A/G ratio is 0.8-2.0. The A/G ratio can be decreased in response to a low albumin or to elevated globulins. Total globulins may be increased in some chronic inflammatory diseases (TB, syphilis) multiple myeloma, collagen disease, and rheumatoid arthritis. Decreased levels are seen in hepatic dysfunction, renal disease and various neoplasms.
This TRT basic lab test panel includes essential tests (CBC, CMP, ultrasensitive estradiol, and total & free testosterone) to monitor treatment in men on that have been testosterone replacement therapy for a few months. Test included: Fasting is required for proper glucose testing as part of CMP.
