Additional information

The Liver Function Metabolic Profile combines several biochemical markers to provide a comprehensive assessment of hepatic function.

Abnormal values may indicate liver injury, biliary tract disease, impaired protein synthesis or other metabolic disorders.

Reference Intervals:

AST
222–489 U/L

Gamma-GT
8–33 U/L

Total Bilirubin
0.50–2.10 mg/dL

Direct Bilirubin
0.10–0.55 mg/dL

Indirect Bilirubin
0.30–2.00 mg/dL

Alkaline Phosphatase
88–268 U/L

Albumin
2.9–3.6 g/dL

Results should always be interpreted together with the horse's clinical history, physical examination and any additional diagnostic tests recommended by your veterinarian.
