Alkaline Phosphatase
Isoenzyme
|
|
Alkaline phosphatase (ALK) is a substance found in all
body tissues. There are many different forms of it. Each
type of ALK is different and is called an isoenzyme. The
isoenzyme test will show where in the body the ALK is
different and is called an isoenzyme. The isoenzyme test
will show where in the body the ALK is being produced,
such as from the liver or the bones.

Complete Blood Count
(CBC)
|
|
A complete blood count provides important information
about the kinds and numbers of cells in the blood,
especially red blood cells, white blood cells, and
platelets. A CBC helps your health professional evaluate
symptoms (such as weakness, fatigue, or bruising) and
diagnose conditions (such as anemia, infection, and
many other disorders.)
|
|
|
Comprehensive

|
|
The CMP is used as a broad screening tool to evaluate
organ function and check for conditions such as diabetes,
liver disease, and kidney disease. The CMP may also be

control of diabetics over time. The goal of those with
diabetes is to keep their blood glucose levels as close to
normal as possible.
|
|
|
Hepatitis A
Antibody Total
|
Hepatitis A antibodies remain present for many years
after infection or immunization, and protect you against
further infection by the hepatitis A virus.
|
|
|
Hepatitis A is the first antibody produced by the body
when it is exposed to hepatitis A. The Hepatitis A IgM test
is used to screen for early detection of infection and is
used to diagnose the disease in a patient with evidence
of acute hepatitis.
|
|
|
The Hep B Core Ab IgM positivity indicates recent infection
with Hepatitis B virus, usually within the last 6 months. Its
presence indicates acute infection.
|
|
|
Hepatitis B
Surface Antibody
|
|

presence of adequate protection against the Hepatitis-B
virus. Can also be used to detect a recent or past
infection.
|
|
Hepatitis B
Surface Antigen
|
|
The Hep B Surface Antigen is a serologic marker on the
surface of Hepatitis B virus. It can be detected in high
levels in serum during acute or chronic hepatitis. The
presense of HBsAg indicates that the person is infectious.
|
|
|
Hepatitis B Core Ab Total
|
Can be used to help detect acute and chronic HBV
infections; it is produced in response to the core antigen
and usually persists for life.
|
|
|
The Hepatitis C AB IgG is a screening test for hepatitis C.
Positivity indicates that antibodies to Hepatitis C virus
were detected in the blood.
|
|
|
Herpes Simplex Virus
(HSV)
Types 1 & 2 IgG
and IgM Antibody
|
|
The presence of HSV-1 or HSV-2 IgG antibodies indicates
a previous infection.
The presence of HSV-1 or HSV-2 IgM antibodies indicates
an active or recent infection.
|
|
|
|
The Lipd Panel is a group of tests that are often ordered
together to determine risk of coronary heart disease. The
panel typically includes: Total Cholesterol, High Density
Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C, good cholesterol), Low
Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C, bad cholesterol),
and Triglycerides.
|
|
|
A liver (hepatic) function panel is a blood test used to
evaluate how the liver is working. High or low levels may
mean that liver damage or disease is present.
|
|
|
|
Used to evaluate the level of magnesium in your blood
and to help determine the cause of abnormal calcium
and/or potassium levels.
|
|
|
Confirms the presence of adequate protection against the
Measles virus. Can also be used to detect a recent or
past infection.
|
|
|
|
Confirms the presence of adequate protection against the
Mumps virus. Can also be used to detect a recent or past
infection.
|
|
|
|
Evaluates the level of phosphorus in your blood and to aid
in the diagnosis of conditions known to cause abnormally
high or low levels.
|

|
|
The presence Parathyroid Horomone is ordered to help
diagnose the reason for a low or high calcium level and to
help distinguish between parathyroid-related and
non-parathyroid-related causes. It may also be ordered to
monitor the effectiveness of treatment when a patient has
a parathyroid-related condition.
|
|
Prostate Specific
Antigen (PSA)
|
|
PSA is a substance produced by the prostate gland.
Elevated PSA levels may indicate prostate cancer or a
non-cancerous condition such as prostatitis or an
enlarged prostate.
|
|
|
|
Pro-Time is a blood test that measures how long it takes
the blood to clot. A pro-time (pro-thrombin time) test can
be used to screen for bleeding abnormalities. PT is also
used to monitor treatment with medication that prevents
the formation of blood clots.
|
|
|
|
This is an innovative blood test that measures the
cell-mediated immune response of TB-infected
individuals. The test has several advantages over a TB
skin test. The test only requires one visit. The results are
unaffected by BCG vaccination. The results are
unaffected by most environmental non-tuberculosis
mycobacterium.

Detects an abnormal testosterone level in males and
females. It may be used to help diagnosis infertility,
premature or delayed puberty, to diagnose the cause of
masculine physical features in females, or polycystic
ovary syndrome.
|
|
|
Measures the amount of T3 (the active form of the
hormone) available to the cells and tissues.
|
|
|
Evaluates the amount of T4 available to the cells and
tissues.
|
|
|
A T3 test helps to determine whether the thyroid is
functioning properly, and also monitors the progress of a
patient with a known thyroid disorder.
|
|
|
The T4 test helps evaluate thyroid gland function and
helps diagnose hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
|
|
Thyroid Stimulating
Horomone
(TSH)
|
|
The TSH blood test is used to check for thyroid gland
problems. TSH is produced when the hypothalamus
releases a substance called thyrotropin-releasing
hormone (TRH). TRH then triggers the pituitary gland to
release TSH.
|
|
|
|
Detects high levels of uric acid in the blood, which could
be a sign of the condition gout or to monitor uric acid
levels when undergoing chemotherapy or radiation
treatment.
|
|

Varicella (Chickenpox) virus. Can also be used to detect
a recent or past infection.
|
|
|

follow-up test when large RBCs adn a decreased
hemoglobin concentration are found during a CBC test.
