Adults: 3.5-4.8 g/dL or ^ 35-48 g/L Panic value: <1.5 g/dL Adults: 25-100 U/L
Marker of hepatic injury; more specific of liver damage than AST. Found in heart, liver, and skeletal muscle. Can also be used to indicate liver injury. Is a protein produced by the liver. Found in the tissues of the liver, bone, intestine, kidney, and placenta. Used as an index of liver and bone disease when correlated with other clinical findings. The liver converts ammonia, a by-product of protein metabolism, into urea which is excreted by the kidneys. breakdown of hemoglobin in the red blood cells; removed from the body

Found primarily in the liver, kidney, prostate, and spleen. Is more specific for the hepatobiliary system. A hormone produced by the ventricles of the heart and is a marker of ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction. This test is an important screening test for heart .disease. The "good" cholesterol. The "bad" cholesterol. This test evaluates suspected atherosclerosis and measures the body's ability to metabolize fat.
