The alkaline phosphatase test (ALP) is used to help detect liver disease or bone disorders.
Sed Rate is for inflammation.
A high triglycerides or a combination of high triglycerides and low HDL (good) cholesterol, you may need medication along with diet to lower triglycerides.
Finally the urine, I'll let you read about it. https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/encyclopedia/con...
