A low glucose level may mean too much insulin in your blood. This new test measures the amount of glucose that circulates in your blood bound to protein. PBG levels provide an indication of your average blood glucose level over the preceding 7 to 15 days, and help to confirm the glucose result you have today. The combination of the PBG result and the glucose result provide a much better indication of your body's glucose metabolism than either test alone. Uric Acid Uric acid is the end product of the breakdown of purines in your body.
Purines are an important component of proteins.
A high level of uric acid in your blood may cause gouty arthritis or kidney stones. Also, stress, alcohol and certain diuretics may raise the level. Phosphate Phosphate is closely associated with calcium in bone development. Therefore, most of the phosphate in the body is found in the bones. But the phosphate level in the blood is very important for muscle and nerve function.
