A chemistry screen tells your doctor about your general health, helps look for certain problems, and finds out whether treatment for a specific problem is working. a.. Albumin. a.. Alkaline Phosphatase. a.. Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT). a.. Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST). a.. Bilirubin (total and direct). a.. Blood Glucose. a.. Blood Urea Nitrogen. a.. Calcium (Ca) in Blood. a.. Carbon Dioxide. This is but a small part of the entire article, which I think you will read with interest. Many newbies will also benefit from reading this article on Chemistry Screens.
