Biochemistry Tests: Introduction, Group of Tests, Description, and Keynotes

Introduction of Biochemistry Tests

Biochemistry Tests are the most common clinical laboratory tests used by clinicians to diagnose the pathological conditions of patients. For example, some tests and their clinical significances are as follows-

  • Liver: Bilirubin Total, Direct, and  Indirect, SGOT,  SGPT, S. Alk. Phosphatase, Protein, Albumin, Globulin, GGTP
  • Diabetes: Glucose Fasting and PP
  • Kidneys: Urea, Creatinine, Uric Acid, Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Calcium, Phosphorus, S. Alk. Phosphatase
  • Heart: Lipid Profile, SGO , SGPT, Homocysteine
  • Nutrients: Protein, Albumin, Globulin,  A/G Ratio
  • Bones and Joint: Calcium, Phosphorus, Alkaline Phosphatase, Uric Acid
  • General Health: Haemogram, (Complete Blood Counts), Urine Routine, Blood Group
  • Metabolic Function: Glucose Fasting and PP, Urea. Creatinine, Uric Acid, Potassium, Sodium, Chloride, TSH

Group of Biochemistry Tests

This grouping system has been brought into use by some laboratory software for easy access. It is one example of LabMate software.

  1. I would like to thank you for the efforts you have put in writing this blog. I am hoping the same high-grade website post from you in the upcoming also. In fact your creative writing skills has encouraged me to get my own blog now. Really the blogging is spreading its wings quickly. Your write up is a good example of it.

  2. The root of your writing while appearing reasonable initially, did not really sit perfectly with me personally after some time. Somewhere within the sentences you managed to make me a believer unfortunately only for a short while. I however have a problem with your leaps in logic and one might do nicely to fill in those breaks. If you actually can accomplish that, I could certainly end up being amazed.

  3. Good blog! I truly love how it is easy on my eyes and the data are well written. I’m wondering how I might be notified whenever a new post has been made. I’ve subscribed to your RSS feed which must do the trick! Have a nice day!

  4. Many thanks for this article. I might also like to say that it can become hard when you find yourself in school and simply starting out to initiate a long credit ranking. There are many individuals who are only trying to survive and have long or beneficial credit history can occasionally be a difficult element to have.
