  30. Antigen • Ag • Stimulates the production of antibodies • Back

  31. Albumin-globulin ratio • A:G • The ratio of albumin (water soluble proteins) to globulin (non water soluble proteins) in the urine, which indicates a variety of diseases such as those of the liver and kidneys • Back

  32. Albumin • ALB • Water soluble proteins that make up about 60% of the plasma in blood, maintains osmotic pressure necessary for intravasular blood transfer • Back

  33. Alkaline Phosphatase • ALK PHOS • ALP • Group of enzymes found in the liver, measuring them checks for bone and liver disease • Back

  34. Alkaline Amino Transferase • ALT • An enzyme which promotes transfer of an amino group, high levels could mean liver disease • Back
