Hepatitis is a type of liver disease. Viruses called hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C are the most common causes of hepatitis. A hepatitis panel is a blood test that checks to see if a person has a hepatitis infection caused by one of these viruses.

Hepatitis A is most often spread by contact with contaminated f***s (stool) or by eating tainted food. Though uncommon, it can also be spread through sexual contact with an infected person. Most people recover from hepatitis A without any lasting liver damage.
Hepatitis B is spread through contact with infected blood, semen, or other bodily fluids. Some people recover quickly from a hepatitis B infection. The virus can cause long-term, chronic liver disease in others.
Hepatitis C is most often spread by contact with infected blood, usually through sharing of hypodermic needles. Though uncommon, it can also be spread through sexual contact with an infected person. Many people with hepatitis C develop chronic liver disease and cirrhosis.

A hepatitis panel includes tests for hepatitis antibodies and antigens. Antibodies are proteins that the immune system produces to help fight infections. Antigens are substances that cause an immune response. Antibodies and antigens can be detected before symptoms appear.

Malaria is an infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. These parasites are primarily spread by the bite of infected female Anopheles mosquitos. There are four main types of Plasmodium (P) species that infect humans namely; Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium falciparum. When a human is bitten by an infected mosquito, the parasites enter the bloodstream and travel to the the liver.

After a person is infected, there is usually an incubation period of 7-30 days, after which the parasites enter the person's red blood cells (RBCs). They then multiply inside these cells, which rupture within 48 to 72 hours, causing many of the symptoms of malaria to develop. P. vivax and P. ovale cause relapsing disease since the parasite can stay dormant in the liver before re-entering the bloodstream and causing symptoms months, and even years, after the initial infection. While any malaria infection left untreated can cause severe illness and death, infection by P. falciparum is most likely to cause life-threatening disease.

Testing is performed for the following reasons; to help diagnose malaria, to monitor for relapses, and to determine drug susceptibility of the parasite causing the infection. Diagnosis of malaria involves performing blood smears. When microscopy is not readily available, rapid diagnostic tests may be used instead of blood smears. These tests detect malaria antigens (proteins) in a sample of a person's blood (usually taken with a fingerstick) and indicate a positive result by a color change on the testing strip.

An erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a type of blood test that measures how quickly erythrocytes (red blood cells) settle at the bottom of a test tube that contains a blood sample. Normally, red blood cells settle relatively slowly. A faster-than-normal rate may indicate inflammation in the body. Inflammation is part of your immune response system. It can be a reaction to an infection or injury. Inflammation may also be a sign of a chronic disease, an immune disorder, or other medical condition.

Your health care provider may order an ESR if you have symptoms of an inflammatory disorder. These include; Headaches, Fever, Weight loss, Joint stiffness, Neck or shoulder pain, Loss of appetite and Anemia.

Other names for the test include; ESR, SED rate sedimentation rate; Westergren sedimentation rate.

Liver function tests (also known as a liver panel) are blood tests that measure different enzymes, proteins, and other substances made by the liver. These tests check the overall health of your liver. The different substances are often tested at the same time on a single blood sample, and may include the following:
-Albumin, a protein made in the liver
-Total protein. This test measures the total
amount of protein in the blood.
-ALP (alkaline phosphatase), ALT (alanine
transaminase), AST (aspartate
aminotransferase), and gamma-glutamyl
transpeptidase (GGT). These are different
enzymes made by the liver.
-Bilirubin, a waste product made by the liver.
-Lactate dehydrogenase (LD), an enzyme
found in most of the body's cells. LD is
released into the blood when cells have
been damaged by disease or injury.
-Prothrombin time (PT), a protein involved in
blood clotting.

Other names: liver panel, liver function panel, liver profile hepatic function panel, LFT

If one or more of your liver function test results were not normal, it may mean your liver is damaged or not working properly. Liver damage can be caused by a number of different conditions, including:
Hepatitis A. Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Alcohol use disorder (which includes alcoholism), Liver cancer or Diabetes

Creatinine is a waste product produced by muscles from the breakdown of a compound called creatine. Creatinine is removed from the body by the kidneys, which filter almost all of it from the blood and release it into the urine. This test measures the amount of creatinine in the blood and/or urine.

The creatinine blood test is used to assess kidney function. It is frequently ordered along with a BUN (blood urea nitrogen) test as part of a basic or comprehensive metabolic panel (BMP or CMP). The BMP or CMP are a groups of tests that are done to evaluate the health of your major organs. A BMP or CMP may be used to screen people during routine physical exams or to help evaluate people who seek medical care in the emergency room and/or are admitted to the hospital. Sometimes, creatinine may be performed as part of a renal panel to evaluate kidney function.

If the creatinine and BUN tests are found to be abnormal or if you have an underlying disease that is known to affect the kidneys, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, then creatinine and BUN tests may be used to monitor your kidney function and the effectiveness of treatment.

Blood creatinine and BUN tests may also be ordered to evaluate kidney function prior to some procedures, such as a CT (computed tomography) scan, that may require the use of drugs that can damage the kidneys if not cleared rapidly.
