Neonatal Blood Screen
Neonatal Blood Screen is a group of biochemical screening tests performed on blood samples usually collected from the baby’s heel using a lancet offered as part of neonatal care. This screening test, performed shortly after birth, helps detect various inherited genetic, metabolic, and congenital disorders in newborns, allowing for early detection and planning of appropriate […]
Myoglobin Urine
A myoglobin urine test is ordered when the provider suspects you have heart or skeletal muscle damage. Myoglobinuria is the presence of an excess quantity of myoglobin in the urine. It mostly happens due to muscle breakdown. Myoglobinuria can lead to acute renal injury. To avoid the high morbidity and mortality linked with this condition, […]
Myoglobin
Myoglobin test is performed to assess if there has been damage to muscle tissue, including heart muscle. It is commonly recommended by a healthcare professional if an individual is experiencing symptoms of severe damage to muscles, such as from accidents which result in muscle trauma. Myoglobin levels must be estimated to confirm a diagnosis of […]
Mucopolysaccharide Test
The Mucopolysaccharide test is conducted to diagnose conditions related to the genetic disorder known as Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS). MPS, resulting from glycosaminoglycans degradation deficiency, comprises 11 lysosomal diseases. It affects multiple systems, causing cardiovascular, nervous, respiratory, and gastrointestinal issues. This test identifies high-risk groups and establishes an MPS diagnosis, guiding appropriate management to Clinicians.
Methylmalonic Acid Quantitative
The methylmalonic acid quantitative test estimates the amount of methylmalonic acid (MMA) in blood or urine. This test is commonly used to diagnose a vitamin B12 deficiency. It is also used to diagnose methylmalonic acidemia. Symptoms of this disorder may comprise vomiting, dehydration, developmental delays, and intellectual disability. The test is included as part of […]
Methaqualone Screen Urine
The methaqualone urine screen detects the presence of methaqualone in urine, aiding in drug screening and monitoring for substance abuse. This test serves forensic or medical objectives, aiming to assess drug usage or investigate suspected overdose incidents, ensuring accurate insights into an individual’s health and compliance with medical recommendations.
Mercury Levels
The whole blood mercury level test detects the presence of mercury in the blood, indicating suspected toxicity among industrial workers and accidental exposures. Mercury toxicity can lead to acute perioral and facial paresthesias, visual-field constriction, respiratory distress, nonspecific dermatitis, extremity numbness. This test helps to diagnose acute or chronic mercury poisoning and assess the effectiveness […]
Manganese, Whole blood
The Manganese whole blood test helps assess manganese exposure or toxicity that might occur in occupational settings. This test detects neurological symptoms associated with manganese toxicity and provides information for managing exposure and determining appropriate interventions if levels are abnormal.
Manganese Urine
A manganese urine test measures the manganese level in urine and determines exposure to manganese, particularly in occupational settings. High levels can indicate overexposure, causing adverse effects like nausea, headaches, and Parkinson’s disease. This test monitors manganese levels and assess potential health risks associated with exposure.
Manganese, 24Hr Urine
Manganese is a mineral that the body requires to stay healthy. The body uses manganese to make energy and protect cells from damage. The 24-hour urine manganese test helps assess manganese exposure, nutritional deficiency, and toxicity. Healthcare professionals may recommend this test for someone experiencing fatigue, weakness, or neurological symptoms.
