KNOW ABOUT BIOCHEMISTRY

Biochemical diseases and disorders and tests

Clinical biochemistry plays a vital role in diagnosing and monitoring a wide range of diseases by analyzing blood, urine, and other body fluids. The concentration of biochemical markers in these samples helps identify organ dysfunction, metabolic imbalances, and hormonal disorders.

Diseases and Disorders

Biochemical imbalances in the body are often linked to various diseases and disorders affecting major organ systems. Metabolic conditions such as diabetes mellitus and lipid disorders arise due to improper regulation of blood glucose and cholesterol levels, increasing the risk of heart disease and obesity-related complications. Similarly, liver diseases, including hepatitis and fatty liver disease, result from enzyme abnormalities and metabolic disruptions, which can be detected through biochemical testing.

Kidney disorders, such as chronic kidney disease (CKD) and electrolyte imbalances, occur when the body fails to filter waste products efficiently, leading to complications like high blood pressure and dehydration. Cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension and heart attacks, are often linked to abnormal lipid profiles and inflammatory markers, which biochemistry tests help identify at an early stage. Endocrine disorders, such as thyroid dysfunction and reproductive hormone imbalances, disrupt metabolism, fertility, and overall energy levels, necessitating hormonal assessments for accurate diagnosis.

Neurological conditions such as meningitis and multiple sclerosis may involve alterations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) composition, which biochemistry tests can analyze to confirm infections or autoimmune activity. Autoimmune diseases like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis lead to inflammation and tissue damage, detectable through markers like C-reactive protein (CRP) and antinuclear antibodies (ANA). Infectious diseases, including dengue, malaria, and typhoid, can also be diagnosed through biochemical and serological tests that detect pathogens or inflammation levels in the blood.

Cancer detection is another critical area of biochemical testing, with tumor markers such as PSA for prostate cancer and CA-125 for ovarian cancer aiding in early diagnosis and monitoring of malignancies. Overall, biochemical analysis plays a key role in understanding the underlying causes of diseases and guiding effective treatment strategies.

Biochemistry tests

Biochemistry tests evaluate the chemical composition of blood, urine, and other body fluids to assess organ function and detect abnormalities. Liver function tests (LFTs) measure enzymes like ALT and AST to detect liver diseases, while kidney function tests (KFTs) assess creatinine and urea levels to monitor renal health. Blood glucose tests, including fasting glucose and HbA1c, help diagnose and manage diabetes, while a lipid profile measures cholesterol and triglyceride levels to assess cardiovascular risk.

Hormonal tests are crucial for diagnosing endocrine disorders, with thyroid function tests (TSH, T3, T4) used to evaluate thyroid health and reproductive hormone tests (LH, FSH, estrogen, testosterone) aiding in fertility assessments. Electrolyte panels measuring sodium, potassium, and calcium levels help diagnose dehydration, kidney dysfunction, and metabolic imbalances. Cardiac markers, such as troponin and CK-MB, are essential for detecting heart attacks, while inflammatory markers like CRP and ESR help assess infections and autoimmune conditions.

Biochemistry tests also extend to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis for diagnosing neurological infections like meningitis, while serological tests for infections such as typhoid, dengue, and tuberculosis help detect active disease. In oncology, tumor markers like AFP and CA-19-9 support cancer diagnosis and treatment monitoring. By evaluating biochemical markers, these tests provide valuable insights into disease progression, organ health, and treatment efficacy, ensuring accurate diagnosis and effective patient care.

FAQ on Biochemistry

No, fasting is required only for certain tests like blood glucose and lipid profiles. Your doctor will inform you if fasting is necessary.

A small blood sample is drawn from a vein, usually from your arm. Some tests may require urine or other body fluids.

The test is safe, with minimal side effects such as mild pain or bruising at the blood draw site.

Most results are available within 24 hours, though some specialized tests may take longer.

Routine biochemistry tests should be done annually for general health check-ups. If you have existing conditions like diabetes or liver disease, more frequent testing may be required.
