Chemical Pathology
Overview
Chemical pathology examines the chemical composition of blood and body fluids to evaluate organ health and metabolic balance.
Typical Tests
-
Liver function (ALT, AST, ALP, bilirubin)
-
Kidney function (urea, creatinine, electrolytes)
-
Lipid profile (cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides)
-
Blood glucose and HbA1c
-
Electrolyte and mineral analysis
Why It Matters
Detects early signs of diabetes, liver or kidney disease, and electrolyte imbalance—often before symptoms appear.
Preparation Tips
-
Some tests require fasting for 8–12 hours.
-
Drink water to stay hydrated unless instructed otherwise.
