ULTRASENSITIVE PROTEIN (M-TP)
Urine is formed by ultrafiltration of plasma across the glomerular capillary wall. Proteins with a relative molecular mass >40 000 are almost completely retained, while smaller substances easily enter the glomerular filtrate. Most CSF protein originates by diffusion from plasma across the blood-CSF barrier. Elevated levels occur as a...

LDH is widely distributed in tissue, particularly, liver, muscle, and kidney. LDH in serum can be separated into five different isoenzymes based on their electrophoretic mobility. Each isoenzyme is a tetramer composed of two different subunits. These two subunits have been designated heart and muscle, based on their polypeptide...
Glycosylated Hemoglobin

Creatine Phosphokinase (MB) ( CPK – MB )
Creatine kinase (ATP: Creatine N-phosphotransferase, EC2.7.3.2) is a dimeric enzymecomposed of two types of monomer subunits, M (Muscular) and B (Brain). The subunits combine to form three distinct CK isoenzymes, CK-BB (CK-1), CK-MB (CK-2) and CK-MM (CK-3). CK-MM is the predominant form of CK in skeletal muscle. CK-BB is...
Calcium ( Arsenazo III )
Calcium has numerous functions within the body, not only as a structural factor in bones and teeth, but also in normal neuromuscular function and the clotting of blood. The calcium content of an adult is somewhat over 1.0 kg i.e. about 2% of the body weight. Of this, 99%...
Bilirubin, ( Direct )
Bilirubin is formed in the reticuloendothelial system during the degradation of aged erythrocytes. The heme portion from hemoglobin and from other-containing proteins is removed, metabolized to bilirubin, and transported as a complex with serum albumin to the liver. This process accounts for about 80% of bilirubin formed daily. Other...
Bilirubin Total Caffiene
Bilirubin is formed in the reticuloendothelial system during the degradation of aged erythrocytes. The heme portion from hemoglobin and from other-containing proteins is removed, metabolized to bilirubin, and transported as a complex with serum albumin to the liver. This process accounts for about 80% of bilirubin formed daily. Other...
Fibrinogen
At present there are known to be at least eleven factors in circulating blood, which are required for normal haemostasis. Deficiency in any of these factors viz., Factors I, II, V, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI and XIII, results in a notable hemorrhagic condition, and the severity of the...

Chloride
Chloride is the most abundant extracellular anion. Together with natrium-chloride is responsible for the maintenance of osmotic pressure, the anion-cation balance and therefore of the water distribution in the extracellular fluid compartment.Decreased plasma Cl—concentrations (hypochloremia) can result from salt-losing nephritis, persistent gastric secretion, prolonged vomiting and metabolic acidosis that...
Cholesterol CHOD – PAP (Single Reagent)
Cholesterol is a steroid with a secondary hydroxyl group in the C3 position, and found in blood, bile, and brain tissue. It serves as a precursor to bile acids, steroids and vitamin D. It is synthesized in many types of tissue, but particularly in the liver and intestinal wall....
Bilirubin, Total ( DCA )
