CHEMISTRY LAB TEST'S

Flashcards for Chemistry Tests and Procedures

1. Alanine Aminotransferase Test (ALT) - Detects liver damage.

2. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) - Monitors alpha-fetoprotein levels during pregnancy.

3. Alkaline Phosphatase (AP) Test - Measures alkaline phosphatase enzyme levels.

4. Ammonia - Indicates cirrhosis or hepatitis.

5. Amylase - Checks for enzyme levels linked to liver disease or cholecystitis.

6. Aspartate Aminotransferase Test (AST) - Identifies liver damage through AST enzyme levels.

7. Bilirubin Test - Assesses bilirubin levels; indicates red blood cell destruction.

8. Arterial Blood Gases (ABG) - Measures acid-base balance (pH, CO₂, O₂).

9. Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) - Detects impaired renal function through urea nitrogen levels.

10. B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) Test - Indicates congestive heart failure via BNP hormone levels.

11. C-reactive Protein High Sensitivity (hs-CRP) - Measures CRP levels.

12. Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) Test - Monitors CEA protein levels for cancer diagnosis and management.

13. Blood Calcium - Determines total calcium, aiding in renal failure assessment.

14. Total Cholesterol - Evaluates cardiovascular disease risk.

15. Cortisol - Detects adrenal hypofunction or hyperfunction.

16. Creatine Kinase (CK) - Assesses muscle damage.

17. Creatinine - Indicates renal impairment or muscular dystrophy.

18. Drug Analysis - Monitors therapeutic drug levels to avoid toxicity.

19. Electrolytes (Na⁺, K⁺, Cl⁻, CO₂) - Identifies kidney and adrenal disorders.

20. Glucose - Checks for diabetes, liver disease, or malnutrition.

21. Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) - Diagnoses hepatobiliary and liver problems.

22. Hemoglobin A1C - Measures glycosylated hemoglobin levels for diabetes monitoring.

23. Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) - Detects lung, kidney, and liver dysfunction.
