Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme created mainly by the liver and the heart. High levels can indicate damage to the liver caused by alcohol, drugs, or hepatitis. They can also signal heart conditions or pancreas problems.Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is an enzyme mainly produced by the liver. It serves as a good indicator of liver damage caused by alcohol, drugs, or hepatitis. Checking levels of liver enzymes can help diagnose liver problems that are causing nausea, abdominal pain, fatigue, itchy skin, or loss of appetite.Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme located primarily in the liver and bones. High levels can indicate liver disease or bone growth, while low levels may signal a zinc deficiency.Bilirubin is a protein that is created when red blood cells break down. It is normally filtered out by the liver. Elevated bilirubin levels may be a sign of various health conditions, such as liver damage, liver disease, or anemia.Albumin is a protein produced by the liver that helps keep fluid in the bloodstream and carries vitamins, hormones, and enzymes to the body’s tissues. Low albumin levels may be a sign of liver disease, kidney disease, thyroid conditions, infection, or inflammatory bowel disease, while high levels may indicate dehydration.This test measures the overall amount of protein in the blood. In particular, it measures levels of globulins and albumin, the two most common blood proteins. Low levels of proteins in the blood may be a sign of liver or kidney conditions.

Does Marek Diagnostics accept insurance?
Marek Diagnostics is a cash-pay service. Our platform offers direct access to comprehensive testing without the limitations, denials, or delays imposed by insurance companies. If traditional insurance covered the kind of proactive, high-quality lab work we offer, Marek Diagnostics wouldn’t need to exist.
However, many clients successfully use their HSA/FSA to cover their testing costs. Marek Diagnostics is partnered with TrueMed for convenient deployment of HSA/FSA funds at checkout.
My panel Meets Treatment Requirements — what does that mean?
Marek Diagnostics is an extension of Marek Health, the leading health optimization platform designed to turn your results into informed action.
If your panel Meets Treatment Requirements, you’re eligible to enroll into Guided Optimization, an exclusive program that connects you with:
- Detailed, expert led lab analysis
- A consultation with a Marek Health coach and board-certified medical provider
- A precision health optimization plan
- Access to high-quality treatment options
If you’re unsure what to do with your results, Marek Health is the bridge between lab results and achieving your goals.
Do I need to pay a separate fee at the lab to get my blood drawn?
No additional payment is required at the lab. Our expert-built panels include the venipuncture and if you’re building a custom panel or testing biomarkers individually, a $5 venipuncture fee will be automatically added at checkout.
