Liver
12 markers in this category
ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase)
According to the Cleveland Clinic, the liver is where alkaline phosphatase is primarily found, which is why it is often considered a liver enzyme, although it also exists in the bones, bile ducts, kidneys and intestines.
ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase)
ALT (alanine aminotransferase) is an enzyme in the liver cells: according to the NVKC, a protein that helps cells convert one substance into another.
AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase)
In liver cells, AST sits mainly in the mitochondria, the small power plants inside the cell, according to the NVKC.
Albumin
Albumin reflects liver health and protein status, both fundamental for maintaining muscle mass, recovery capacity, and overall male vitality.
Amylase
Amylase is a protein from the pancreas and the salivary glands that, according to the NVKC, helps digest sugars from food.
Bilirubin (Direct)
According to the Cleveland Clinic, red blood cells at the end of their life are broken down, and the yellow waste product released, bilirubin, is processed in the liver.
Bilirubin (Indirect)
Indirect bilirubin is the part of your bilirubin that your liver has not yet processed.
Bilirubin (Total)
Bilirubin is a substance that according to the NVKC, the Dutch society of clinical chemists, is formed when red blood cells are broken down.
GGT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase)
GGT is a highly sensitive liver enzyme particularly relevant for men's health.
LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase)
Skeletal muscle, the liver, the heart and the red blood cells all contain lactate dehydrogenase, LDH for short.
Lipase
Lipase is a pancreatic enzyme important for men's digestive health. Men are at higher risk for alcohol-related pancreatitis, and monitoring lipase alongside dietary and lifestyle factors supports proactive health management.
Liver Function Test (LFT)
A liver function test provides a comprehensive assessment of liver health, which is particularly relevant for men.
