Lipoprotein (a)
The lipoprotein (a) test measures a protein called apolipoprotein(a). Higher concentrations indicate a risk of heart attack and stroke. Testing for Lp(a) levels can assess cardiovascular risk, especially in individuals with a family history of heart disease or those with other risk factors.
Leptospira IgM Ab
The Leptospira IgM antibody test detects IgM antibodies produced by the body in response to infection with Leptospira bacteria that cause leptospirosis. The detection of IgM antibodies indicates a recent or active infection. The test diagnoses early-stage leptospirosis when symptoms are nonspecific.
Leishmania Antibody
Leishmania is a group of parasitic protozoa transmitted through the bites of infected sand flies, causing clinical condition Leishmaniasis as visceral, cutaneous, and mucocutaneous involvement, leading to a group of organ derangements transmitted through the bites of infected sandflies. Leishmania Antibody detection is a serological test used by healthcare professionals to detect antibodies against Leishmania […]
Lead Level, Urine
The urine lead level test measures the presence of lead in urine, particularly in suspicions of toxicity among industrial workers or accidental exposures. The measurement of urinary lead is primarily associated with lead excretion following provocative chelation, such as the lead-mobilization test or chelation therapy in cases of lead poisoning in children or workers.
Lead Level
The whole blood lead level test detects lead in the blood, especially in suspected toxicity among industrial workers and accidental exposures. Lead toxicity can cause health issues, including anaemia, peripheral neuropathy, gastrointestinal symptoms, skin and breast cancers, lymphoma, and elevated serum cholesterol. This test is used to diagnose lead poisoning and assess the effectiveness of […]
LDH Isoenzymes
The LDH Isoenzymes test evaluates different isoforms of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) that have distinct distributions in the body. LDH isoforms are LDH-1 to LDH-5, with each isoform present in specific organs or tissues. This test helps in diagnosing myocardial infarction, liver disease, anemia, and muscular dystrophy.
Intrinsic Factor Antibody
The intrinsic Factor Antibody test is utilized in the diagnosis of pernicious anaemia and evaluation of Vitamin B12 deficiency. There are two types of Intrinsic Factor Antibodies that is Type 1 (Intrinsic Factor blocking antibodies) and Type 2 (Intrinsic Factor binding antibodies). Measurement of IFAb levels can aid healthcare providers to provide quick and effective […]
Induced Chromosomal Breakage Rate
Induced Chromosomal Breakage Rate is a quantitative measurement testing the rate at which chromosomes undergo breakage when exposed to inducing agents or conditions. This test is helpful for assessing chromosomal disorders and evaluating chromosomal instability syndromes. It is an important test used by healthcare professionals in genotoxicity testing to assess potential mutagenic and carcinogenic effects […]
IgH Gene Clonality Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
The IgH Gene is a unique immunoglobulin receptor gene showing an unusual genetic rearrangement of the IgH gene. Hematological malignancies, such as B-cell lymphomas, show uncontrolled proliferation of B Cells, leading to the expansion of the population of cells with identical IgH gene rearrangements. IgH Gene Clonality PCR detects the clonality of immunoglobulin heavy chain […]
Hereditary Hemochromatosis Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
Hereditary Hemochromatosis is an inherited genetic disorder characterized by excessive absorption and storage of iron in the body, leading to organ damage over time in liver, heart, and pancreas. Hereditary hemochromatosis is commonly associated with HFE gene mutations in regions C282Y and H63D. PCR is used to amplify and detect specific regions of HFE gene […]
