FSH 30 mins (follicle-stimulating hormone)
The FSH 30 min test involves the collection of a blood sample at 30 min after administering a standard dose of FSH to evaluate the early response of the ovaries to the stimulation. This time point can help healthcare providers observe initial ovarian sensitivity to FSH stimulation, especially during the treatment of in vitro fertilization.
FSH 120 mins (follicle-stimulating hormone)
The FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone) 120-minute test allows for a complete assessment of the ovarian response to FSH stimulation. This extended time frame helps in determining the overall ovarian reserve and can provide valuable information about the quality and quantity of eggs remaining in the ovaries.
FIT Test for Lower GI Bleeding
The fetal immunochemical test (FIT) is a non-invasive preliminary screening tool to detect blood in the stool as a part of lower gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. The test involves examining small stool samples for the presence of human haemoglobin using immunological methods. The test is recommended by healthcare providers for colorectal cancer screening, to locate gastrointestinal […]
Electrolyte Panel
An electrolyte panel assesses vital minerals in the blood, including sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate, with the optional inclusion of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. These electrolytes are pivotal for fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contraction. Deviations may signal health issues like dehydration, kidney problems, metabolic disorders, and cardiovascular disease, making this test crucial for […]
C-Pep 5hr (Connecting Peptide 5hr)
The C-peptide 5-hour test involves the collection of blood samples at 5 hours post-intake of glucose solution to measure insulin production. Low insulin levels may suggest type 1 diabetes; high levels may indicate type 2 diabetes. The test is also used to identify insulinoma, Cushing’s syndrome, and acromegaly.
C-Pep 4hr (Connecting Peptide 4hr)
The C-peptide 4-hour test evaluates insulin production and pancreatic function. Blood samples are collected at 4-hour intervals to measure C-peptide levels. This helps to determine the body’s ability to produce insulin and glucose, aiding in diabetes diagnosis, distinguishing between type 1 and type 2, and guiding treatment.
C-Pep 3hr (Connecting Peptide 3hr)
The C-peptide 3-hour test is used to find out insulin production by the pancreas. Blood samples are taken 3 hours after the intake of glucose solution. This test helps to evaluate the production of insulin in response to glucose intake and is employed in the diagnosis and management of diabetes (especially during hypoglycemia) and pancreatic […]
C-Pep 2hr (Connecting Peptide 2hr)
A 2-hour C-peptide test measures the level of C-peptide in the blood two hours after the intake of glucose solution. This test helps to evaluate pancreatic function and insulin secretion, aiding in the diagnosis and management of diabetes. High levels may indicate insulin resistance, while low levels may suggest impaired insulin production.
C-Pep 1hr (Connecting Peptide 1hr)
The 1-hour C-peptide test assesses insulin production by measuring blood C-peptide levels one hour after glucose ingestion. It evaluates the pancreas responsiveness to glucose, aiding in diabetes diagnosis and management by evaluating insulin secretion. Abnormal test results may indicate insulin deficiency or resistance, guiding appropriate therapeutic interventions.
Cortisol AM
The Cortisol AM test analyzes cortisol levels in the morning (6 AM to 8 AM), capturing peak levels as adrenal gland cortisol production fluctuates daily. It assesses stress response and adrenal function, facilitating the diagnosis of disorders like Cushing’s syndrome or Addison’s disease through the identification of abnormal results.
