U Amph Scrn (Amphetamine Screen Urine)
The Amphetamine Screen Urine test detects the presence of amphetamines in urine, mainly intended to check drug abuse for illegal use. Positive results suggest recent amphetamine ingestion, prompting further evaluation. This test is valuable in various settings, including healthcare, forensic, and workplace drug testing programs.
TSH Basal (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) basal test is a blood test used to evaluate thyroid function by measuring the TSH level typically in the morning before any food or medication intake. This test helps to detect subclinical hypothyroidism based on the results from basal and Thyrotropin-releasing hormone stimulated TSH levels.
Triglycerides
A triglyceride test measures blood triglyceride level. This test is a part of a lipid panel for cholesterol measurement. High levels indicate risk of cardiovascular disease. Depending on the age, diet and medical distory clinician may advise this test to examine the risk and initiate treatment for maintaining heart health.
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) is a sex hormone-binding glycoprotein produced in the liver that regulates the bioavailability and biological activity of sex hormones, mainly testosterone and estradiol. SHBG levels are measured on automated immunoassays, indicated to assess reproductive health in conditions related to polycystic ovary syndrome, hypogonadism, and endocrine disorders affecting androgen or estrogen […]
Salicylate Level
Salicylate level estimation in the blood is crucial for titrating, assessing therapeutic levels of aspirin in individuals using aspirin, and assessing toxicity. Salicylate toxicity is common in over usage, accidental or intended over usage affecting organ functions. The test also aids in monitoring individuals taking prescription-strength aspirin for arthritis or other inflammatory conditions.
Normetanephrine 24 Hour Urine
Normetanephrine and metanephrine levels are measured as 24-hour urine tests. This screening test assesses neuroendocrine tumours secreting catecholamines and norepinephrine, such as pheochromocytomas or paragangliomas. This test is indicated by healthcare providers in patients with neuroendocrine symptoms to suggest further diagnostic workup.
Macro Prolactin Level (other names PEG prolactin and true prolactin)
True prolactin, a pituitary hormone, is vital in post-partum lactation, maintaining breast milk production, growth and development of mammary glands, suppressing ovulation during breastfeeding, and maintaining reproductive and endocrine regulation. Prolactin estimates protein-bound form and bioactive true prolactin in blood. It helps healthcare providers evaluate endocrine and reproductive disorders, infertility, irregular menstrual cycles, and lactation […]
Immunoglobulins
Immunoglobulins serve as essential diagnostic tools, providing insights into immune system function. Elevated or reduced levels of antibodies, particularly IgA, IgG, and IgM in serum, indicate various immune-related pathology. Assessing immunoglobulin helps healthcare professionals diagnose infections, certain types of cancer, immune deficiency syndromes, autoimmune disorders, and carrier and convalescent phases of immune recovery.
Immunofixation Electrophoresis Urine
Immunofixation electrophoresis involves protein separation on a gel through electrophoresis and visualization with specific antibodies for identifying abnormal immunoglobulins. This technique in urine samples provides diagnostic information about abnormal proteins, mainly monoclonal immunoglobulins. This test is indicated for detecting abnormal urine proteins in haematological disorders like multiple myeloma and related plasma cell disorders, aiding in […]
Immunofixation Electrophoresis Serum
Immunofixation electrophoresis of serum is a diagnostic test identifying and characterising abnormal proteins, particularly monoclonal immunoglobulins, in the blood. This advanced protein electrophoresis separates proteins based on molecular charge and size. The test is indicated by healthcare providers for diagnosing and managing haematological disorders like multiple myeloma or plasma cell disorder.
