Inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis)

Calcium is essential for bone health, muscle contraction, nerve transmission, and blood clotting. Most calcium is stored in bones, with only a small portion circulating in blood under tight regulation.

Accounts for calcium bound to albumin, providing a more accurate measure of biologically active calcium. Essential for bone health, nerve transmission, and muscle contraction.

LDH is an enzyme present in most tissues and released when cells are damaged.

Fasting blood glucose measures blood sugar levels after fasting for at least 8 hours. It's used to screen for and monitor diabetes, with elevated levels indicating impaired glucose metabolism.

This ratio compares two liver enzymes to give insight into liver health.

Amylase is an enzyme that helps digest carbohydrates and is produced mainly by the pancreas and salivary glands.

An enzyme produced primarily by the pancreas that helps digest fats. Significantly elevated lipase (often 3-5 times normal) strongly suggests pancreatic inflammation (pancreatitis), while moderate elevations may indicate other pancreatic disorders or kidney disease.

GGT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase): An enzyme particularly sensitive to alcohol consumption and certain medications. Elevated GGT can indicate bile duct issues, fatty liver disease, or alcohol-related liver damage.

An enzyme present in liver, heart, muscle, and other tissues. While less specific to the liver than ALAT, elevated levels often indicate liver damage when other liver markers are also abnormal.

ALAT (Alanine Aminotransferase): An enzyme primarily found in liver cells. When liver cells are damaged, ALAT leaks into the bloodstream, making it a sensitive indicator of liver injury from various causes.

Triglycerides are the main form of fat stored in the body and circulating in blood. They serve as an energy source and are derived from calories not immediately used. Elevated levels increase risk of cardiovascular disease.
