Laboratory tests
An extensive laboratory test (blood, urine, stool), like the Dr. Keulen Kliniek performs as a standard, provides information about a lot of aspects within your body and about your state of health.
Through the blood:
- heart (GOT/CK/LDH)
- liver (GammaGT/ GPT/GOT)
- bile (GammaGT/ AF)
- pancreas (amylase)
- muscles (CK/ GPT)
- kidneys (creatinine/ urea)
- fat metabolism (cholesterol/ HDL/ triglycerides)
- minerals (sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphate)
- protein metabolism (total protein/ albumin/ uronic acid, urea)
- diabetes (glucose/ HBA-1C)
- anemia (Hb/ HT/ mcv)
- infection/ inflammation (BSE/ leukocyte differentiation/ CRP)
- thrombosis (platelets)
Through urine:
- specific gravity
- number of leukocytes (inflammation cells)
- PH (acid value)
- nitrite (bacteria)
- protein – glucose (sugar)
- ketone bodies (degradation substances)
- urobilinogen and bilirubin (bile pigments)
- blood
Many other laboratory tests can also be performed upon request, for example into:
- trace elements (selenium, zinc)
- heavy metals (lead, chrome, cadmium)
- thyroid function
