Acyl Carnitine
Acylcarnitine plays a crucial role in regulating the balance of intracellular sugar and lipid metabolism. This test helps in the diagnosis of fatty acid oxidation disorders and organic acidurias. By measuring the levels of acylcarnitine, which are fatty acid metabolites, healthcare professionals can directly assess metabolic disorders, facilitating quick and effective intervention.
Posaconazole Level, Serum
Testing serum levels of Posaconazole is indicated in individuals undergoing posaconazole therapy to optimize treatment efficacy and minimize side effects. Maintaining safe therapeutic posaconazole levels is crucial for treating severe fungal infections in immunosuppressed patients. Regular monitoring of Posaconazole achieves the balance between therapeutic benefits and potential adverse effects, enhancing therapeutic precision and treatment outcomes […]
Mercury – urine
Urinary mercury excretion indicates the presence of mercury toxicity in the body. Mercury poisoning or chronic occupational exposure is associated with significant neurological and renal disorders. Monitoring mercury levels is employed in identifying and managing suspected mercury toxicity and also as a public health protection measure to implement occupational safety and environmental regulations.
Aluminum
Aluminum, a common naturally occurring metal, can accumulate in the body through ingestion, industrial exposure, or medical conditions. Toxic levels of aluminum affect the functions of the brain, bone, kidney, and endocrine systems. Monitoring aluminum levels is indicated in cases of suspected toxicity, potentially linked to neurotoxicity, bone and kidney disorders, guiding interventions, reduced exposure, […]
Aldolase, Serum
The serum aldolase test is employed for the detection of tissue injuries in muscles, liver, kidneys, or the heart. There are three subclasses of aldolase expressed in different organs: aldolase A, B, and C. Healthcare professionals utilize this test to diagnose various conditions, such as skeletal muscle trauma, polymyositis, infectious mononucleosis, viral or auto-immune hepatitis, […]
Adalimumab with Reflex Antibody
The Reflex antibody test detects the presence of antibodies against adalimumab, a human therapeutic monoclonal antibody used in treating various autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and psoriasis. The presence of neutralizing antibodies hampers the treatment efficacy of adalimumab. This test helps to assess drug effectiveness loss, assisting clinicians to optimize therapeutic drug dosage […]
11-Deoxycorticol
11-Deoxycorticosterone is a mineralocorticoid hormone involved in mineral and fluid regulation. An increase or decrease in the level of 11-Deoxycorticosterone significantly affects blood pressure regulation and electrolyte imbalance. Testing its level is indicated in mineralocorticoid disorders, such as primary aldosteronism or congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Testing helps in diagnosing and managing diseases affecting the adrenal, mineralocorticoid […]
