Growth Hormone 90min
Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is a medical condition where the body doesn’t produce enough growth hormone (GH), from pituitary which is essential for growth, development, and metabolism. At 90 minutes into the insulin tolerance testing (ITT), the accuracy for diagnosing Growth hormone deficiency was less in the prepubertal group and more in the adolescent group. […]
Growth Hormone 60min
At the 60-minute mark, the accuracy for growth hormone (GH) deficiency was less in the prepubertal group compared to the adolescent group after injecting glucagon or insulin. This test also helps in making decisions on growth hormone replacement therapy and adjusting doses according to the time point.
Overview of Growth Hormone 30min
Healthcare professionals use growth hormone 30 min assay to diagnose hypopituitarism in patients who have suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Apart from this, the test is mainly employed for screening acromegaly, a condition caused by an excess growth hormone in the body.
Growth Hormone 180min
Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is a type of clinical syndrome that can manifest as isolated or linked with other pituitary hormone deficiencies. Growth hormone 180 min test helps diagnose growth hormone deficiency. It helps to replace growth hormone in case of deficiency or reduce the dose in case of excess. To analyse whether dopamine (DA) […]
Growth Hormone 150 min
Growth hormone 150 test measures the growth hormone levels, after injecting glucagon or Insulin. This helps to assess the growth hormone deficiency (GHD)at 150 min in case of paediatric patients, as complication in case of individuals suffering from Haemophilia. Furthermore, assess growth hormone levels in individuals suffering from psoriasis.
Growth Hormone 120min
The decision to perform the GH 120-minute test is based on the clinical suspicion of the treating endocrinologist. In the case of pediatric patients combining GH testing results with the patient’s anthropometric measurements, a more precise clinical picture can be obtained that allows proper individualized diagnostic evaluation of growth hormone deficiency and treatment.
Growth Hormone
Healthcare professionals use Growth Hormone (GH) tests to diagnose GH disorders, including GH deficiency, which can lead to the low density of bones and decreased muscle mass. Apart from this, Acromegaly, which affects adults, causes the body to produce excess growth hormone. Adults with Acromegaly have thicker than normal bones and enlarged limbs and facial […]
Glucose-6-PD Quantitative
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) quantitative testing is a diagnostic tool used to measure the levels of the G6PD enzyme in the blood. This test is primarily used to diagnose G6PD deficiency, a genetic condition where individuals lack sufficient levels of the G6PD enzyme, which can lead to hemolytic anemia. The results can help healthcare providers assess […]
Glucose Urine
The glucose urine test may be ordered when the healthcare professional suspects renal glycosuria. This is a rare condition in which glucose is secreted from the kidneys into the urine, even when the level of glucose in blood is normal. Furthermore, a glucose in urine test may be part of a urinalysis.
Glucose Tolerance Test 75g 1Hr
During the process of glucose tolerance test (GTT), 75 g of glucose is dissolved in 250 to 300 ml of water. When testing for gestational diabetes, blood is taken twice – first after one hour and then again after another two hours. It is recommended by healthcare professionals that individual does the test while lying down […]
