Bor Burgdorferi IgM Ab
The Borrelia Burgdorferi IgM Antibody test is conducted in suspected cases of Lyme borreliosis. This test is performed as a supplementary measure to IgG testing and aims to identify probable or possible Borrelia infections. Healthcare professionals utilize this test for early diagnosis and to corroborate the presence of the infection when there is a clinical […]
Bone Marrow FISH Workup
Bone marrow fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) workup involves bone marrow sample aspiration or biopsy, treating with fluorescently labelled DNA probes targeting specific genetic abnormalities. This molecular diagnostic technique identifies and analyzes congenital abnormalities such as translocations, deletions, amplifications, and mutations in marrow cells. It helps healthcare professionals evaluate and manage hematologic malignancies such as […]
Bone Alkaline Phosphatase
Bone Alkaline Phosphatase (BAP) is the bone-specific isoenzyme of the serum alkaline phosphatase. The Bone Specific Alkaline Phosphatase test is utilized to diagnose Paget disease, Osteomalacia, and other states of high bone turnover. By measuring the levels of BAP, healthcare providers can directly assess the metabolic bone diseases, facilitating prompt and effective intervention.
Beta Galactosidase Test
The Beta-galactosidase test evaluates enzyme deficiency, particularly beta-galactosidase, a lysosomal enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of gangliosides. This test is performed in suspected cases of GM1 gangliosidosis and Mucopolysaccharidosis where reduced beta-galactosidase enzyme activity is observed. Healthcare professionals employ this test to identify lysosomal storage disorders such as GM1 gangliosidosis and mucopolysaccharidosis type IVB, guiding […]
Beta 2 Microglobulin Urine
Beta-2-Microglobulin (B2M) Urine test evaluates kidney dysfunction. B2M is usually present in urine in tiny amounts as the kidneys filter and process it. Elevated urine B2M levels typically signify tubular disorders of the kidney. The test assesses kidney function, which is crucial for transplant patients and those with tubule or interstitial problems.
Aspergillus Fumigatus IgM Ab
Aspergillus fumigatus is the common pathogen causing fungal infections found in hay, grain, rotten plants and bird’s faeces. The test measuring serum aspergillus fumigatus IgM helps in diagnosis of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) by quantifying the concentration of Aspergillus fumigatus antibodies especially the IgM levels present in the patient’s sample.
Alpha 2 Macroglobulin
In humans, Alpha 2 macroglobulin is among the highly abundant proteins in peripheral blood circulation. Measurement of Alpha 2 Macroglobulin helps evaluate individuals suffering from nephrotic syndrome and pancreatitis. By measuring the levels of Alpha 2 Macroglobulin, a protease inhibitor, healthcare professionals can directly assess vital organ function, facilitating quick and effective intervention.
Alpha 2 Antiplasmin Activity
Alpha 2 Antiplasmin is vital in responding to uncontrolled, plasmin-mediated proteolysis of coagulation factors. This test evaluates Alpha 2 Antiplasmin levels and function in suspected congenital or acquired deficiencies and cardiovascular diseases. The test helps healthcare professionals identify cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases, such as ischemic stroke, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism and Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura.
Alpha-1-microglobulin Test
The urinary alpha-1-microglobulin (α1m) test evaluates particularly proximal tubule resorption. Hepatocytes synthesize this protein, freely filtered across the glomerulus, and subsequently avidly reabsorbed by the proximal tubule. This test helps Healthcare professionals detect impaired tubular reabsorption, acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic kidney damage, and the need for dialysis post-non oliguric AKI.
Alpha 1 Acid Glycoprotein
The Alpha 1 Acid Glycoprotein (orosomucoid) test serves as a biomarker plasma protein aiding in identifying infections, cancers, injuries, and obesity. As a positive acute-phase protein synthesized by the liver, healthcare professionals utilize this test to diagnose conditions such as myocardial infarction and stroke, sepsis, diabetes, chronic inflammatory disorders, and malignancies.
