Biochemical data helps in understanding the internal biochemical environment and can indicate nutrient deficiencies or excesses. Important tests include:
Serum Albumin: Indicates long-term protein status. Prealbumin: Reflects short-term changes in protein status. Total Protein: Assesses the overall protein levels in the body. Electrolytes: Such as sodium, potassium, and chloride, to understand fluid balance and cellular function.
