Test Components
Albumin, Alkaline Phosphatase, Alanine Amino Transferase, Aspartate Amino Transferase, Bicarbonate, Urea Nitrogen, Calcium, Chloride, Creatinine, Glucose, Potassium, Sodium, Total Bilirubin, Gamma Glutamyl Transferase, Lactate Dehydrogenase, Total Protein, Anion Gap, Uric Acid, Phosphorus, Cholesterol, Triglycerides, LDL Cholesterol, A/G ratio, BUN/Creat Ratio, TSH. (Note: LDL Cholesterol is only calculated and reported if an HDL is also ordered, and TRIG value is ≤ 400 mg/dL.)
