BAP

BAP, or Blood Ammonia Profile, is a medical test that measures the levels of ammonia in the blood. Ammonia is a waste product formed when your body breaks down proteins, and it’s usually processed by the liver into less harmful substances. Elevated ammonia levels can indicate liver dysfunction, certain genetic disorders, or other health issues affecting how your body manages waste. The BAP helps doctors diagnose these conditions, monitor treatment effectiveness, and assess the risk of complications like brain swelling. Overall, it provides important insights into your metabolic health related to ammonia processing.
