When time is of the essence and costs must be considered, choose Walk-in Lab every time! And now, our hepatic function panels are available, and they’re able to test for a host of liver functionality concerns, including: • Amino acid levels: Appropriate levels of amino acids in the blood will allow the body to regulate nearly every function and process within the body. These acids are the building blocks of proteins, and they aid in the building and maintenance of bones, tendons, skin, ligaments, and more. • Total protein: This test detects the protein levels in the blood and measures both major groups of blood proteins – albumin and globulin. Albumin is created in the liver and helps carry medicinal substances throughout the body. It can also help to repair and grow new tissue. Globulin is comprised of three proteins – alpha, beta, and gamma, and is helpful in fighting infections. Abnormal globulin levels can also indicate the presence of blood diseases. • Bilirubin tests: The presence of bilirubin in the blood can indicate whether the liver is functioning appropriately. High levels of bilirubin can indicate blood disorders, jaundice, or blockage of the bile ducts. This is an especially important test for newborns, as the presence of high levels of bilirubin can inflict serious injury – including brain damage. • Creatine serum levels: This important test detects the level of creatine in the blood. Creatine is a substance that is made primarily in the liver, then transported to the muscles where it acts as an energy source for muscle movement. Many individuals take creatine as a supplement, so it is important to tell your doctor if you are taking it – prior to the test. Before taking any hepatic function panel or liver blood tests, ensure that you follow the pre-testing requirements and act in accordance with doctor’s orders. These tests are remarkably accurate, but they may require the patient to abstain from food or alcohol prior to testing to ensure exact results. As always, you can expect incredibly low prices, a convenient and low-stress testing process, and remarkably quick turnaround times. Instead of paying exorbitant amounts for your hepatic blood testing, simply choose the test that will help your doctor make an accurate assessment of your current health condition – select a test through Walk-in Lab. A hepatic function panel can help you assess your present state of health, and liver concerns are often quite manageable when they are caught early on.
