GPT opt. (ALAT)
Der Biomarker GPT (auch bekannt als ALAT) ist ein Enzym, das hauptsächlich in der Leber vorkommt. Ein erhöhter GPT-Spiegel im Blut kann auf Leberschäden hinweisen, wie z.B. bei Leberentzündungen oder Lebererkrankungen. Daher ist die Bestimmung des GPT-Wertes ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Leberfunktionsdiagnostik und kann bei der Früherkennung und Überwachung von Lebererkrankungen helfen.
Bilirubin, ges.
Bilirubin ist ein wichtiger Biomarker für die Leberfunktion. Ein Anstieg des Bilirubinspiegels im Blut kann auf Lebererkrankungen wie Hepatitis oder Leberzirrhose hinweisen. Es ist auch ein Indikator für hämolytische Anämie. Ein niedriger Bilirubinspiegel kann auf eine gestörte Leberfunktion oder eine Blockade der Gallenwege hindeuten. Die regelmäßige Überwachung des Bilirubinspiegels ist daher entscheidend für die Diagnose und Behandlung von Lebererkrankungen.
Gamma-GT (G-GT)
Gamma-GT (G-GT) ist ein wichtiger Biomarker für Lebererkrankungen und alkoholbedingte Schäden. Ein erhöhter G-GT-Wert im Blut kann auf Leberprobleme hinweisen, wie z.B. Fettleber, Hepatitis oder Leberzirrhose. Es ist auch ein Indikator für übermäßigen Alkoholkonsum. Die regelmäßige Überwachung des G-GT-Werts ist daher wichtig für die Früherkennung und Behandlung von Lebererkrankungen.
Alk. Phosphatase (AP)
Der Biomarker Alk. Phosphatase (AP) ist ein Enzym, das hauptsächlich in Knochen und Leber produziert wird. Ein Anstieg des AP-Spiegels im Blut kann auf Knochen- oder Lebererkrankungen hinweisen. Daher ist die Messung von AP ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Diagnose und Überwachung von Knochen- und Lebererkrankungen.
