- glutamate-oxalacetate-transaminase (GOT/ASAT)

- glutamate-pyruvate-transaminase (GPT/ALAT)

- gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT)

- creatinine and glomerular fitration rate (GFR)

- thyroid-stimulating-hormone (TSH)

- potassium, sodium, calcium

- non-fasting glucose

- regular and differential blood count
