High levels of urobilirubin in the urine may indicate liver or biliary tract disease, such as hepatitis or cirrhosis. It can also be a sign of increased bilirubin production due to excessive breakdown of red blood cells or obstruction in the biliary system. Further medical evaluation is recommended to determine the underlying cause.
A low pH indicates high acidity levels.
Abnormal results are increased levels in those with a bleeding disorder or liver disease. With those taking heparin, low levels indicate the dose is too low, high levels indicate the dose is too high.
High levels may indicate the presence of wet rot.
High pH levels indicate alkalinity in a substance or solution. This means that the substance is on the basic end of the pH scale, which ranges from 0 to 14. A pH level above 7 is considered alkaline or basic.
High levels of BUN may indicate kidney disease or failure; blockage of the urinary tract by a kidney stone or tumor; a heart attack or congestive heart failure; dehydration; fever; shock; or bleeding in the digestive tract.
A high glycemic index indicates that a food can cause a rapid increase in blood sugar levels after consumption.
High levels of nitrates and phosphates in water indicate nutrient pollution, which can lead to excessive algae growth and eutrophication. This can harm aquatic ecosystems by reducing oxygen levels and causing algal blooms, which can be harmful to fish and other aquatic organisms. Monitoring and reducing these nutrient levels is important to maintain water quality.
Decreased renin levels may indicate increased blood volume due to a high-sodium diet, salt-retaining steroids, primary aldosteronism, licorice ingestion syndrome, or essential hypertension with low renin levels
Thyroglobulin levels can indicate the presence of thyroid cancer, monitoring of thyroid cancer treatment effectiveness, or the presence of autoimmune thyroid diseases such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis. High levels can indicate thyroid cancer recurrence, while low levels can occur after thyroid surgery when the thyroid gland has been removed.
Urobilinogen is a colorless byproduct of bilirubin reduction, primarily produced in the intestines by the action of gut bacteria. It is formed from bilirubin, which is derived from the breakdown of hemoglobin in red blood cells. Urobilinogen is normally excreted in urine and can be oxidized to urobilin, giving urine its characteristic yellow color. Elevated or decreased levels of urobilinogen in urine can indicate various liver or hemolytic disorders.
SGPT is primarily found in the liver. Low levels of SGPT may indicate deficiency of vitamin B6. Hepatitis can cause high levels.
