    This document lists several common blood tests and their reference values, and what conditions may cause the values to increase or decrease. It includes tests for aminotransferases, ammonia, bilirubin, and blood urea nitrogen. Elevated results typically indicate organ dysfunction, disease, or trauma, while lowered values can result from nutritional deficiencies or other clinical factors. The tests and reference ranges provide information to help physicians evaluate liver, heart, and kidney function and other clinical conditions.
