Dengue Antibody Igm & Igg
Dengue fever is a viral infection transmitted to humans by mosquitoes that live in tropical and subtropical climates and carry the virus. Blood testing detects the dengue virus or antibodies produced in response to dengue infection. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), dengue infections have been reported in more than 100 countries from parts of Africa, the Americas, the Caribbean, the Eastern Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, and the Western Pacific. It is a fast emerging infectious disease, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), with an increasing number of cases and countries affected throughout the world. The actual number is not known because about 75% of cases are asymptomatic, but a recent estimate put the number of annual dengue infections as high as 390 million. Approximately 50 to 100 million symptomatic cases occur annually worldwide. In the U.S., the majority of dengue cases occur in travelers returning from areas where dengue is endemic. Most dengue cases in U.S. citizens occur in people who live in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Samoa and Guam. Outbreaks where a large number of cases occur in a defined area are rare in the U.S. In recent years, there have been small outbreaks in Texas and Hawaii and a few cases diagnosed in southern Florida. Many individuals will develop no symptoms at all, or have only a mild illness when exposed to one of the four serotypes (1-4) of the dengue virus. For those who do develop symptoms, prognosis is still very good for full recovery within a few weeks. The most common initial symptoms are a sudden high fever (104°F or 40°C) and flu-like symptoms that appear roughly 4 to 7 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito (this is called the incubation period and can range from 3 to 14 days). Additional signs and symptoms may include severe headache, especially behind the eyes, muscle and joint pain, skin rash, nausea, vomiting, and swollen glands. Some people who d

Blood Typing (abo Group & Rh Type)
Blood Typing (ABO & Rh) is a laboratory test that determines an individual's blood group based on the ABO and Rh systems. The test identifies the presence or absence of A and B antigens on the surface of red blood cells, classifying blood as type A, B, AB, or O. It also detects the Rh factor (positive or negative), which indicates whether the Rh antigen is present. Blood typing is crucial for safe blood transfusions, organ transplants, and maternal-fetal compatibility during pregnancy. Knowing one’s blood type helps prevent transfusion reactions, hemolytic disease of the newborn, and other complications related to blood group incompatibility.

Serum Glutamic-oxaloacetic Transaminase (sgot) Or (ast)
Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), also known as Serum Glutamic-Oxaloacetic Transaminase (SGOT), is an enzyme found in various tissues, including the liver, heart, muscles, kidneys, and brain. It plays a key role in amino acid metabolism and energy production within cells. The AST test measures the amount of this enzyme in the blood, which can help evaluate liver health and detect tissue damage. Since AST is not specific to the liver, elevated levels may also indicate muscle injury, heart conditions, or other organ damage. This test is often performed alongside Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) to provide a more comprehensive assessment of liver function.
Serum Glutamic-pyruvic Transaminase (sgpt) Or (alt)
Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), also known as Serum Glutamic-Pyruvic Transaminase (SGPT), is an enzyme primarily found in the liver, with smaller amounts in the kidneys, heart, and muscles. It plays a key role in amino acid metabolism and liver function. The ALT test measures the amount of this enzyme in the blood to assess liver health and detect liver damage. Since ALT is mostly concentrated in the liver, elevated levels are more specific to liver injury compared to AST. This test is often performed alongside Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) to provide a more complete evaluation of liver function.
Blood Urea And Nitrogen (bun) (serum)
Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) is a waste product formed from the breakdown of proteins in the liver and excreted by the kidneys. This test measures BUN levels in the blood to assess kidney function and how well the body eliminates waste.
Blood Uric Acid (bua)
Uric acid is a chemical created when the body breaks down substances called purines. Purines are normally produced in the body and are also found in some foods and drinks. Most uric acid is dissolved in the blood, filtered through the kidneys, and expelled in the urine. Sometimes the body produces too much uric acid or doesn’t filter out enough of it. This test measures the amount of uric acid in a sample of your blood. It can help determine how well your body produces and removes uric acid.
Chest X-ray Lateral View
The lateral chest view can be particularly useful in assessing the retrosternal and retrocardiac airspaces. If locating a specific pulmonary opacity within the chest cavity, it would be useful for requesting doctors to ensure that the side of the opacity is mentioned in their clinical notes.

Branches: Magsaysay, Norzagaray, Pureza
High Density Lipoprotein (hdl Direct)
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is a type of cholesterol often referred to as "good cholesterol" because it helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream and transports it to the liver for elimination. Higher HDL levels are generally associated with a lower risk of heart disease. This test measures the amount of HDL cholesterol in the blood to assess cardiovascular health and lipid balance.
Low Density Lipoprotein (ldl) Direct
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is a type of cholesterol that carries fats through the bloodstream to various tissues in the body. While cholesterol is essential for cell function and hormone production, excessive LDL can contribute to the buildup of fatty deposits in the blood vessels. This test measures LDL levels to assess how effectively the body regulates cholesterol and to help evaluate cardiovascular health. It is often included in a lipid profile to provide a more complete picture of lipid balance.
Magnesium (serum)
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in numerous biochemical processes, including nerve function, muscle contraction, energy production, and bone health. It also helps regulate heart rhythm and supports enzyme activity. This test measures the amount of magnesium in the blood to assess overall mineral balance and metabolic function.

Rapid Antigen Test For Covid-19 (without Medical Certificate)
The role of antigen tests is to determine if a person has COVID-19. They are primarily used in screening for and in some cases diagnosing COVID-19: Diagnosis is testing once a person has shown symptoms of a disease or has a known exposure to a disease. For COVID-19, molecular tests like the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR or just PCR) are considered the gold standard for diagnosis. When those tests are unavailable, an antigen test can be used for diagnosis in people who have symptoms consistent with COVID-19. However, antigen tests have a higher risk of indicating a negative result in someone who has actually been infected with the virus, also called a false negative result. Screening is looking for a disease in people who don’t have any signs or symptoms. Because antigen tests can be performed rapidly and at relatively low cost, they may be used in large screening programs that involve repeatedly testing people to help prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2. This type of screening must be done cautiously, though, because of a risk of false positive results. The risk of false positives is highest in places with low rates of virus transmission.

Random Blood Sugar (rbs)
A Random Blood Sugar (RBS) test measures the level of glucose in the blood at any time of the day, regardless of when the person last ate. It helps assess how well the body is regulating blood sugar and provides a quick snapshot of glucose levels. This test is commonly used for monitoring glucose control and evaluating potential blood sugar imbalances.
Drug Test (dt)
Urine drug testing can detect evidence of recent drug use or misuse. Drug use refers to using an illegal drug, like heroin or cocaine, while drug misuse refers to the use of medication in a manner that is unhealthy or differs from what is prescribed by a doctor. The most common role of urine drug testing is to screen for drug use or misuse in the workplace. A urine drug test may be requested by an employer when screening job applicants, for periodic or random drug testing of employees, and when drug use is suspected based on symptoms or workplace accidents. For patients taking prescription drugs that have the potential for misuse, a doctor may order a urine drug test to confirm that the patient is taking medication as prescribed. Some of the most commonly misused prescription drugs include opioids, central nervous system depressants used to treat anxiety and sleep issues, and stimulants used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (esr)
The Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) test measures how quickly red blood cells (erythrocytes) settle at the bottom of a test tube over a specific period. Normally, red blood cells settle slowly, but increased settling can indicate inflammation or other underlying conditions. ESR is a nonspecific test used to help detect and monitor inflammatory processes, infections, and certain chronic diseases. It is often used alongside other tests to provide a more complete picture of a person’s health.
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (tsh)
Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that regulates the function of the thyroid gland. It stimulates the thyroid to produce hormones such as thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), which control metabolism, energy production, and overall growth and development. The TSH test measures the amount of thyroid-stimulating hormone in the blood to assess how well the thyroid is functioning. It helps detect thyroid disorders, including underactive (hypothyroidism) or overactive (hyperthyroidism) thyroid conditions.

The body carefully regulates potassium levels through the kidneys, which filter excess amounts into the urine. This test measures potassium levels in the blood to assess electrolyte balance, kidney function, and overall metabolic health. Abnormal potassium levels can impact heart function, muscle activity, and nerve communication, making this test crucial for monitoring overall physiological stability.
Sodium (na) (serum)
Sodium is an essential electrolyte that helps regulate fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contractions. It plays a critical role in maintaining blood pressure and supporting the proper function of cells. The body controls sodium levels through the kidneys, hormones, and fluid intake. This test measures the amount of sodium in the blood to assess electrolyte balance, hydration status, and overall metabolic health. Abnormal sodium levels can affect nerve signaling, muscle activity, and organ function, making this test important for monitoring fluid and electrolyte imbalances.
Bleeding Time
The Bleeding Time test measures how long it takes for small blood vessels to stop bleeding after a controlled skin puncture. It assesses platelet function and the ability of blood to clot properly. This test helps evaluate bleeding disorders and platelet-related abnormalities.
Clotting Time
The Clotting Time test measures how long it takes for blood to form a clot after being drawn. It evaluates the overall function of the coagulation system and helps assess the body's ability to stop bleeding. This test is used to check for clotting disorders and monitor the effects of anticoagulant therapy.
Malarial Smear
A blood smear is a drop of blood spread thinly onto a glass slide that is then treated with a special stain and the blood cells on the slide are examined and evaluated. Traditionally, trained laboratorians have examined blood smears manually using a microscope. More recently, automated digital systems have become available to help analyze blood smears more efficiently. A blood smear is a snapshot of the cells that are present in the blood at the time the sample is obtained. The blood smear allows for the evaluation of these cells: White blood cells (WBCs, leukocytes) — help fight infections or participate in immune responses Red blood cells (RBCs, erythrocytes) — carry oxygen to tissues Platelets (thrombocytes) — small cell fragments that are vital to proper blood clotting

Peripheral Blood Smear (pbs)
A Peripheral Blood Smear is a laboratory test that examines the appearance, size, shape, and number of red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets under a microscope. It helps in identifying abnormal cell morphology, detecting blood disorders such as anemia, infections, and certain types of leukemia, and assessing overall blood health. This test is often used alongside a Complete Blood Count (CBC) for a more detailed evaluation of blood cells.
Reticulocyte Count
The Reticulocyte Count test measures the number of reticulocytes, which are immature red blood cells, in the bloodstream. This test helps evaluate bone marrow function and the body's ability to produce red blood cells. It is commonly used to assess anemia, monitor response to treatment (such as iron or vitamin therapy), and evaluate bone marrow recovery after conditions like blood loss or chemotherapy. A high or low reticulocyte count can provide insights into the underlying cause of abnormal red blood cell levels.
Prothrombin Time (pt)
The Prothrombin Time (PT) test measures how long it takes for blood to clot by evaluating the function of clotting factors in the extrinsic and common coagulation pathways. It is commonly used to assess clotting disorders, monitor anticoagulant therapy (such as warfarin), and evaluate liver function. This test is often performed alongside the Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT) test for a comprehensive assessment of blood coagulation.
Partial Thromboplastin Time (ptt)
The Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT) test measures the time it takes for blood to clot by evaluating the function of specific clotting factors in the coagulation cascade. It helps assess blood clotting ability and is commonly used to detect bleeding disorders, monitor anticoagulant therapy (such as heparin treatment), and evaluate clotting system abnormalities. This test is often performed alongside the Prothrombin Time (PT) test for a comprehensive assessment of blood coagulation.
Lupus Anticoagulant Testing
Lupus anticoagulant (LA) testing is performed to detect the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies, which can interfere with normal blood clotting. Despite its name, lupus anticoagulant does not cause excessive bleeding but is instead associated with an increased risk of abnormal clot formation in veins and arteries. These antibodies can prolong clotting times in laboratory tests, making them useful for assessing clotting disorders. The test is often part of an antiphospholipid syndrome evaluation and is typically done alongside other coagulation tests, such as the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and dilute Russell’s viper venom time (dRVVT). It is important for assessing clotting abnormalities and monitoring individuals with recurrent clotting issues or autoimmune conditions.
Hepatitis A Virus Screening
Hepatitis A immunoglobulin G (IgG anti-HAV) antibody test: The IgG anti-HAV antibody test detects IgG antibodies that develop later in the course of the disease. IgG antibodies are detectable in the body for life, providing protection against a future hepatitis A virus infection. The IgG anti-HAV test is used to detect past HAV infections and may occasionally be used to determine if an individual has developed immunity from a previous infection or vaccination.
Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (hbsag) Screening Test/ Titer
Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg): Hepatitis B surface antigens are proteins present on the surface of the hepatitis B virus. These proteins can be detected in high levels during both an acute or chronic hepatitis B infection. This test may be used to screen for, detect, and help diagnose acute and chronic HBV infections.
Hepatitis B Surface Antibody (anti Hbs)
Hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs): In response to hepatitis B surface antigens, the body naturally produces hepatitis B surface antibodies within a few weeks or months. Detecting anti-HBs suggests that a patient has recovered from hepatitis B and is now immune to the disease. These antibodies are also detected in patients who have previous exposure to HBV, including through vaccination.
Hepatitis B E Antigen (hbag) Test
Hepatitis B e antigen is a protein from the hepatitis B virus found in some patients who are positive for hepatitis B surface antigen. Measuring this antigen can help doctors understand infectivity, which describes a person’s ability to spread HBV to others.
Hepatitis B E Ag (anti Hbe)
Anti-HBe is an antibody produced by the body in response to the hepatitis B e antigen. Disappearance of HBeAg and detection of anti-HBe in the blood is called seroconversion and suggests improvement of the condition and predicts long-term clearance of the virus. Chronic liver disease is more common in patients with HBeAg and is less common in patients with anti-HBe, so this test may be used to monitor acute HBV infections.
Hepatitis B Core Antibody (igm Anti-hbc)
IgM Hepatitis B core antibody (IgM anti-HBc): This test detects only IgM anti-HBc antibodies. IgM Hepatitis B core antibody is detected only in acute hepatitis B infections within six months of infection.
Hepatitis A Immunoglobulin M (igm Anti-hav)
Hepatitis A immunoglobulin M (IgM anti-HAV) antibody test: When a person is first infected with hepatitis A, the body produces IgM anti-HAV antibodies. These antibodies are usually detectable from two weeks after symptoms begin to around six months later.
Hepatitis A Immunoglobulin G (igg Anti Hav)
Hepatitis A immunoglobulin G (IgG anti-HAV) antibody test: The IgG anti-HAV antibody test detects IgG antibodies that develop later in the course of the disease. IgG antibodies are detectable in the body for life, providing protection against a future hepatitis A virus infection. The IgG anti-HAV test is used to detect past HAV infections and may occasionally be used to determine if an individual has developed immunity from a previous infection or vaccination.
Hepatitis C Antibody (anti -hcv)
Hepatitis C antibody (anti-HCV) test: Antibodies are a part of the body’s response to an infection. Testing for hepatitis C antibodies determines whether or not a patient has been exposed to the hepatitis C virus at some point in their life. If this test is positive, the next step is to test for hepatitis C RNA which can tell you if you have a current infection.
Adrenal Glands Ultrasound
Each abdominal ultrasound examination of a child or adult should include the assessment of the suprarenal areas. Ultrasonography is a method of choice in the assessment of the adrenal glands in neonates and young children. It is particularly useful in the assessment of adrenal masses as hematoma and neuroblastoma.

The IgG anti-HAV test is used to detect past HAV infections and may occasionally be used to determine if an individual has developed immunity from a previous infection or vaccination.
Hepatitis B Profile
Hepatitis B testing looks for antigens, antibodies, or the genetic material of the hepatitis B virus. HBV antigens are substances from the virus that cause a patient’s body to produce an immune response. Antibodies are substances made by the immune system in response to the hepatitis B virus. Hepatitis B profile tests includes the ff: Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg): Hepatitis B surface antigens are proteins present on the surface of the hepatitis B virus. These proteins can be detected in high levels during both an acute or chronic hepatitis B infection. This test may be used to screen for, detect, and help diagnose acute and chronic HBV infections. Hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs): In response to hepatitis B surface antigens, the body naturally produces hepatitis B surface antibodies within a few weeks or months. Detecting anti-HBs suggests that a patient has recovered from hepatitis B and is now immune to the disease. These antibodies are also detected in patients who have previous exposure to HBV, including through vaccination. Total hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc): Hepatitis B core antibodies appear as a patient develops symptoms of hepatitis, and they remain detectable for life. The results of this test are interpreted alongside other tests to assess recovery from a previous HBV infection and to differentiate between acute and chronic infections. This test detects two types of anti-HBc antibodies, called IgM and IgG anti-HBc antibodies. IgM Hepatitis B core antibody (IgM anti-HBc): This test detects only IgM anti-HBc antibodies. IgM Hepatitis B core antibody is detected only in acute hepatitis B infections within six months of infection. Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg): Hepatitis B e antigen is a protein from the hepatitis B virus found in some patients who are positive for hepatitis B surface antigen.

Hepatitis B Virus (hbv) Dna
Hepatitis B viral DNA: A hepatitis B viral DNA test detects the virus’s genetic material and determines the viral load in the blood. A positive test indicates that the virus is multiplying in a person’s body, making that person contagious. The test is often used to monitor the effectiveness of antiviral therapy in people with chronic HBV infections.
Hepatitis C Rna ( Hcv Rna)
Hepatitis C RNA test: RNA is a type of genetic material from the hepatitis C virus that can be detected in the blood. If test results are positive after a hepatitis C antibody test, doctors use a hepatitis C RNA test to look for and/or measure the amount of the virus in the blood. Qualitative HCV RNA tests can detect the presence of HCV RNA, while quantitative HCV RNA tests measure the amount of HCV RNA. Understanding the amount of HCV in the blood helps to monitor response to treatment.

Dengue Ns1 Antigen
Dengue fever is a viral infection transmitted to humans by mosquitoes that live in tropical and subtropical climates and carry the virus. Blood testing detects the dengue virus or antibodies produced in response to dengue infection. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), dengue infections have been reported in more than 100 countries from parts of Africa, the Americas, the Caribbean, the Eastern Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, and the Western Pacific. It is a fast emerging infectious disease, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), with an increasing number of cases and countries affected throughout the world. The actual number is not known because about 75% of cases are asymptomatic, but a recent estimate put the number of annual dengue infections as high as 390 million. Approximately 50 to 100 million symptomatic cases occur annually worldwide. In the U.S., the majority of dengue cases occur in travelers returning from areas where dengue is endemic. Most dengue cases in U.S. citizens occur in people who live in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Samoa and Guam. Outbreaks where a large number of cases occur in a defined area are rare in the U.S. In recent years, there have been small outbreaks in Texas and Hawaii and a few cases diagnosed in southern Florida. Many individuals will develop no symptoms at all, or have only a mild illness when exposed to one of the four serotypes (1-4) of the dengue virus. For those who do develop symptoms, prognosis is still very good for full recovery within a few weeks. The most common initial symptoms are a sudden high fever (104°F or 40°C) and flu-like symptoms that appear roughly 4 to 7 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito (this is called the incubation period and can range from 3 to 14 days). Additional signs and symptoms may include severe headache, especially behind the eyes, muscle and joint pain, skin rash, nausea, vomiting, and swollen glands. Some people who d

Follicle Stimulating Hormone (fsh)
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a key role in reproductive health. In females, FSH stimulates the growth and development of ovarian follicles, which are responsible for producing eggs and hormones. In males, it supports sperm production by stimulating the testes. This test measures FSH levels in the blood to help assess reproductive function, hormone balance, and pituitary gland activity.
Growth Hormone (gh)
Growth hormone (GH) is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a key role in growth, metabolism, and cell regeneration. It helps regulate body composition, muscle and bone growth, and the use of fats and carbohydrates for energy. This test measures GH levels in the blood to assess pituitary function and detect abnormalities in hormone production.
Progesterone (serum)
Progesterone is a hormone produced primarily by the ovaries and, during pregnancy, by the placenta. It plays a crucial role in regulating the menstrual cycle, preparing the uterus for pregnancy, and supporting early fetal development. In men, progesterone is present in small amounts and contributes to hormone balance. This test measures progesterone levels in the blood to assess ovulation, fertility, and hormone imbalances. It is also used to monitor pregnancy and evaluate disorders affecting reproductive health.
Procalcitonin
Procalcitonin is a protein produced by the body in response to bacterial infections and inflammation. It is a precursor of the hormone calcitonin, which regulates calcium levels, but its levels rise significantly during systemic infections. This test measures procalcitonin levels in the blood to help assess the body's response to infection and inflammation. It is particularly useful in distinguishing bacterial infections from other causes of inflammation and monitoring the severity of an infection and response to treatment.
Luteinizing Hormone (lh)
Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a key role in regulating reproductive function. In females, LH helps control the menstrual cycle and triggers ovulation, the release of an egg from the ovary. In males, it stimulates the production of testosterone, which is essential for sperm development. This test measures LH levels in the blood to assess reproductive health, hormonal balance, and the function of the pituitary gland. It is often used alongside other hormone tests, such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), to provide a more comprehensive evaluation of fertility and endocrine function.
Internal Medicine Medical Clearance
Internal Medicine Gastroenterologist clearance is considered to be an authorization from an evaluating doctor that a patient is cleared, or deemed healthy enough, for a proposed activity.

Prolactin Hormone (serum)
Prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a key role in breast development and milk production in women. It also influences reproductive health in both men and women by affecting hormone balance and fertility. Prolactin levels naturally fluctuate throughout the day and can be influenced by factors such as stress, sleep, and physical activity. This test measures prolactin levels in the blood to evaluate pituitary function, hormonal imbalances, and conditions affecting reproductive health.
Plasma Renin Activity (serum)
Plasma Renin Activity (PRA) measures the activity of renin, an enzyme secreted by the kidneys that plays a crucial role in regulating blood pressure and electrolyte balance. Renin helps control the production of angiotensin, a hormone that influences blood vessel constriction and sodium retention. This test is useful in evaluating conditions related to blood pressure regulation, fluid balance, and adrenal gland function.
Testosterone (serum)
Testosterone is a hormone primarily produced by the testes in men and, in smaller amounts, by the ovaries and adrenal glands in women. It plays a vital role in reproductive health, muscle mass development, bone density, and the regulation of sex drive. In men, testosterone is essential for sperm production and secondary sexual characteristics, while in women, it contributes to hormone balance. This test measures the level of testosterone in the blood to assess hormonal status, reproductive health, and metabolic function. It is often used to evaluate symptoms related to hormonal imbalances, such as changes in libido, energy levels, or muscle mass.
Vitamin D Assay (serum)
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a vital role in calcium and phosphorus absorption, which are essential for maintaining strong bones and teeth. It also supports immune function, muscle health, and overall metabolic processes. The body produces vitamin D when the skin is exposed to sunlight, but it can also be obtained from dietary sources and supplements. This test measures the level of vitamin D in the blood to assess whether it is within a healthy range. It helps evaluate vitamin D status, detect deficiencies or excess levels, and monitor individuals at risk of bone disorders, malabsorption conditions, or other metabolic imbalances. Maintaining an optimal vitamin D level is important for preventing bone-related diseases and supporting overall health.
Anti-nuclear Antibody (ana) Immunoflourescense Test
The Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA) Immunofluorescence Test detects the presence of antinuclear antibodies in the blood using fluorescence microscopy. This test helps identify autoimmune disorders by examining specific staining patterns, which can indicate conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), scleroderma, or other connective tissue diseases. It provides a more detailed assessment of ANA presence compared to standard screening tests.
Anti-nuclear Antibody (ana) Profile
The Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA) Profile detects and identifies specific autoantibodies that target components of the cell nucleus. It provides a more detailed analysis than a standard ANA titer test by identifying specific antibody patterns associated with autoimmune disorders, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), scleroderma, and Sjögren’s syndrome. This test helps in diagnosing and differentiating between various autoimmune conditions.
Anti-double Stranded Dna (anti-dsdna)
The Anti-Double Stranded DNA (Anti-dsDNA) test detects autoantibodies that specifically target double-stranded DNA. These antibodies are strongly associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and can help confirm the diagnosis, monitor disease activity, and assess the risk of complications. Elevated levels of Anti-dsDNA are often linked to active lupus, particularly lupus nephritis, a condition affecting the kidneys.
Anti-nuclear Antibody (ana) Titer
he Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA) Titer test detects and measures the presence of antinuclear antibodies in the blood. These antibodies target the nuclei of the body's own cells, which may indicate an autoimmune response. This test is commonly used to help evaluate autoimmune disorders, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and other connective tissue diseases. The titer refers to the concentration of ANA in the blood, with higher levels potentially indicating an ongoing immune system reaction.
Anti-streptolysin O (aso) Quantitative
The Anti-Streptolysin O (ASO) Quantitative test measures the level of ASO antibodies in the blood. These antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to an infection with Group A Streptococcus bacteria. This test helps determine recent or past streptococcal infections and is often used to assess complications such as rheumatic fever or post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis. Elevated ASO levels indicate a recent immune response to a streptococcal infection.
Complement 3 (c3)
The complement system consists of almost 60 proteins, approximately 30 of which are circulating blood proteins that work together to promote immune and inflammatory responses. Complement tests measure the amount or activity of complement proteins in the blood. The complement system’s principal role is to help identify, destroy and remove foreign pathogens like bacteria and viruses, as well as damaged “self” materials (e.g., cells and proteins). The complement system is so named because it “complements” or aids the natural body defenses, such as antibodies. So, the complement system is also activated when the body makes antibodies, whether against itself or foreign invaders. The body makes antibodies against its own tissues that it thinks are foreign (autoantibodies) in various autoimmune diseases. The complement system is part of the body’s innate immune system. Unlike the acquired immune system, which produces antibodies that target and protect against specific threats, the innate immune system is non-specific and can quickly respond to foreign substances. It does not require previous exposure to an invading microbe or offending substance and does not maintain a memory of previous encounters. There are nine primary complement proteins that are designated C1 through C9. These components, in addition to the remaining proteins, work together in a cascade-like approach by activating, amplifying, breaking apart, and forming protein complexes that respond to infections, “non-self” tissues (e.g., transplants), dead cell debris (e.g., from apoptosis), or inflammation. The complement cascade consists of 3 separate pathways that may be activated to converge in a final common pathway. The pathways include the “classical pathway” (including components C1qrs, C2, C4), the “alternative pathway” (including components C3, factor B, properdin), and the “lectin pathway” (a.k.a. mannan-binding lec

Chikungunya Test
Several methods can be used for diagnosis of chikungunya virus infection. Serological tests, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), may confirm the presence of IgM and IgG anti-chikungunya antibodies. IgM antibody levels are highest 3 to 5 weeks after the onset of illness and persist for about 2 months.
Cytomegalovirus Igg (cmv Igg)
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus that usually causes no symptoms or only mild illness. CMV testing detects antibodies in the blood that the body produces in response to the infection or detects CMV directly. In the United States, as many as 60% of people have been exposed to CMV at some point in their life. Almost 1 out of every 3 children have been exposed to CMV by age 5 and more than half of adults are exposed to CMV by age 40. Most people are infected as children or as young adults, but many don’t know it because CMV usually does not cause noticeable symptoms or only mild illness in otherwise healthy people. Individuals with mild illness may have non-specific signs and symptoms, such as sore throat, fever, tiredness, and swollen glands. In otherwise healthy adults, CMV infection may sometimes cause a flu-like illness or signs and symptoms similar to mononucleosis (mono), such as extreme fatigue, fever, chills, body aches, and/or headaches that usually resolve within a few weeks. CMV is found in many body fluids during an active infection, including saliva, urine, blood, breast milk, semen, vaginal fluid, and cerebrospinal fluid. CMV easily spreads from person to person through close contact with someone who is infected or by contact with contaminated body fluids or objects, such as diapers or toys. Once you are infected, CMV remains in your body for the rest of your life without causing symptoms. After your initial “primary” infection resolves, CMV becomes dormant or latent, like other members of the herpes family. However, if your immune system is significantly weakened, the virus can become active again (reactivate) and cause illness. CMV can cause notable health problems in these situations: A pregnant woman who is infected for the first time (primary infection) during pregnancy can pass the infection to her developing baby across the placenta. This can cause serious physical and developmental problems in the baby. Most newborns

C Reactive Protein Quantitative (crp)
The C-reactive protein (CRP) test measures the amount of CRP in your blood. CRP is a type of protein that is associated with inflammation in the body. CRP is measured using a small blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm. Your doctor might order a CRP test if you have symptoms of inflammation. Doctors also use CRP levels to guide treatment of a bacterial infection or to monitor inflammatory processes that occur in some autoimmune diseases. Doctors measure CRP because it is a marker of inflammation, which is part of the body’s fight against illness or injury. Your doctor might order a CRP test to: Check for infection if you have symptoms of inflammation such as fever, chills, redness or flushing, nausea, vomiting, rapid breathing, and/or rapid heart rate Guide treatment of sepsis, a life-threatening complication where the body’s response to a bacterial infection triggers inflammation throughout the body Monitor flare-ups of a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. Assess the treatment of a chronic inflammatory condition
High Sensitive C Reactive Protein (hs-crp)
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein that increases in the blood with inflammation and infection as well as following a heart attack, surgery, or trauma. Studies have suggested that a persistent low level of inflammation plays a major role in atherosclerosis, the narrowing of blood vessels due to build-up of cholesterol and other lipids, which is often associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). The hs-CRP test accurately measures low levels of CRP to identify low but persistent levels of inflammation and thus helps predict a person’s risk of developing CVD. There are two different tests that measure CRP and each test measures a different range of CRP level in the blood for different purposes: The standard CRP test measures markedly high levels of the protein to detect diseases that cause significant inflammation. It measures CRP in the range from 10 to 1000 mg/L. This test may be used to detect inflammation. The hs-CRP test accurately detects lower levels of the protein than the standard CRP test. It measures CRP in the range from 0.5 to 10 mg/L. This test is used to evaluate individuals for risk of CVD.

Helicobacter Pylori Test
Helicobacter pylori is a type of bacteria that is known to be a major cause of peptic ulcers, which are sores on the lining of the esophagus, stomach or small intestine. H. pylori testing detects an infection of the digestive tract caused by the bacteria to help diagnose the cause of symptoms and/or ulcers. H. pylori infections of the digestive tract are very common, with as many as half of the world’s population infected. However, most people with H. pylori never have any symptoms. Still, H. pylori infection increases the risk of developing ulcers (peptic ulcer disease), persistent stomach inflammation (gastritis), and gastric (stomach) cancer. The bacteria decrease the stomach’s ability to produce mucus, making the stomach prone to damage from digestive acid and peptic ulcers. A few different types of H. pylori testing are available, such as a stool antigen test and a breath test. Some are less invasive than others. How is the sample collected for testing? The sample collected depends on the test ordered: For the urea breath test, a health care professional collects an initial sample of your breath by having you breathe into a bag. You are given a liquid to drink containing a substance called urea. Another breath sample is collected after a specific amount of time has elapsed. For the stool antigen test, a stool sample is collected in a clean container. A more invasive test will require a procedure called an endoscopy, which involves putting a thin tube with a tiny camera on the end down the throat into the stomach. This allows your health care practitioner to view the stomach lining and take a small piece of tissue (a biopsy) from the lining for examination. Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample? For the breath test, you may be instructed to refrain from taking certain medications: Four weeks before the test, do not take any antibiotics or oral bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto Bismol®). Two weeks before the tes
Herpes 1 And 2 (igm And Igg)
Genital and oral herpes are infections caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). HSV is spread through close contact with a person who is actively shedding the virus, usually through skin to skin or sexual contact. Patients without symptoms of HSV can still actively shed the virus and infect others. Lab tests are used to diagnose HSV and confirm the type of virus causing an infection. Diagnostic tests may require a blood sample or a sample of fluid taken from a sore. Less commonly, a lumbar puncture may be used to diagnose an infection in the brain or spinal cord. The purpose of testing for genital and oral herpes is to identify evidence of an HSV infection. Testing for genital and oral herpes may be ordered for several reasons, including: Confirming a diagnosis of HSV infection in symptomatic patients Diagnosing patients with a history of genital sores who don’t have symptoms Identifying a potential HSV infection in pregnant women without symptoms Understanding if a sexual partner of a person with HSV is susceptible to infection Estimating the frequency of future symptom outbreaks Testing can also determine the type of HSV causing an infection. There are two main types of HSV: Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1): HSV-1 is the cause of most cases of oral herpes and is often contracted during childhood. HSV-1 can also be spread to the genitals during oral sex. Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2): HSV-2 is the most common cause of genital herpes. HSV-2 can also be spread to the mouth during oral sex, causing infections of the mouth or lips. HSV-2 is typically spread through sexual contact, including vaginal, oral, or anal sex.

Epstein Bar Virus Vca Igg / Epstein Barr
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a virus that typically causes a mild to moderate illness. Blood tests for Epstein-Barr virus detect antibodies to EBV in the blood and help establish a diagnosis of EBV infection. Epstein-Barr virus causes an infection that is very common. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), most people in the United States are infected by EBV at some point in their lives. The virus is very contagious and easily passed from person to person. It is present in the saliva of infected individuals and can be spread through close contact such as kissing and through sharing utensils or cups. After initial exposure to EBV, there is a period of several weeks before associated symptoms may appear, called the incubation period. During the acute primary infection, the virus multiplies in number. This is followed by a decrease in viral numbers and resolution of symptoms, but the virus never completely goes away. Latent EBV remains in the person’s body for the rest of that person’s life and may reactivate but usually causes few problems unless the person’s immune system is significantly weakened. Most people are infected by EBV in childhood and experience few or no symptoms. However, when the initial infection occurs in adolescence, it can cause infectious mononucleosis, commonly called mono, a condition associated with fatigue, fever, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, an enlarged spleen, and sometimes an enlarged liver. These symptoms occur in about 25% of infected teens and young adults and usually resolve within a month or two. People with mono are typically diagnosed by their symptoms and the findings from a complete blood count (CBC) and a mono test (which tests for a heterophile antibody). About 25% of those with mono do not produce heterophile antibodies and will have a negative mono test; this is especially true with children. Tests for EBV antibodies can be used to determine whether or not the symptoms these
Leptospiral Test (mat)
The most common way to diagnose leptospirosis is through serological tests either the Microscopic Agglutination Test (MAT) which detects serovar-specific antibodies, or a solid-phase assay for the detection of Immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies.

Rheumatoid Factor Test Quantitative
The purpose of testing for rheumatoid factor is to determine if a patient has RF in their blood. While some healthy people have detectable RF, a positive result on an RF test can also indicate an underlying health condition and may warrant additional diagnostic testing in patients with other signs or symptoms of an autoimmune disorder. An RF test can help doctors diagnose autoimmune disorders and estimate disease severity: Diagnosing autoimmune disorders: Diagnostic testing may be appropriate for patients with symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren’s syndrome, or another autoimmune disorder. For example, a patient’s doctor may recommend a test for rheumatoid factor if a patient is experiencing pain and inflammation in multiple joints that isn’t due to another condition. Estimating disease severity: Rheumatoid factor testing can also provide doctors with information about the severity of rheumatoid arthritis. Patients with higher levels of RF are more likely to have severe rheumatoid arthritis, as well as disease that affects parts of the body outside of the joints, such as the lungs and blood vessels. Although treatment for rheumatoid arthritis may lower the amount of rheumatoid factor in the blood, repeated testing for RF is not typically used to monitor patients during treatment for rheumatoid arthritis.

Rubella Igm And Igg
Rubella is a viral infection that typically begins with a skin rash and fever. Although rubella has been eliminated from the United States due to widespread vaccination with the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, it can be spread by unvaccinated people who contract the virus abroad before returning to the United States. Rubella testing is used to diagnose current or prior infection with the virus. Testing can also be performed to determine prior vaccination against rubella. Testing may be performed on a sample of blood or urine, or on a swab taken from the nose or throat.

Toxoplasma Igm And Igg
Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. Diagnosis can be made by serologic testing or by molecular testing. Serologic testing detects antibodies in the blood that are produced in response to an infection and, depending on the type of antibodies present (IgG or IgM), a current or past infection can be determined. Molecular testing such as PCR detects the genetic material (DNA) of the parasite in the blood and indicates an acute infection. T. gondii is a parasite that cannot be seen with the naked eye (microscopic). In most healthy humans, the infection either causes no symptoms or results in a mild flu-like illness. When a pregnant woman becomes infected, however, and passes it to her unborn child, or a person with a weakened immune system (immunocompromised) becomes infected, the parasite can cause severe complications. T. gondii is widely distributed. It is found throughout the world and in some countries has infected up to 60% of the population. In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that about 11% of those 6 years of age and older have had toxoplasmosis and that more than 40 million people carry it. The infection can be acquired by: Eating contaminated food, especially eating raw or undercooked meat, such as pork, lamb, and venison Eating unwashed fruits and vegetables that are grown in contaminated soil Having contact with contaminated soil Drinking contaminated water Drinking unpasteurized milk Handling contaminated cat litter Playing in contaminated sandboxes Transmission from mother-to-child Rarely, transmission during organ transplantation or blood transfusion

Tpha Screening Test
The purpose of syphilis testing is to identify a syphilis infection. Syphilis tests may be prescribed for screening, diagnosis, or monitoring: Screening for syphilis is testing for the infection in people without signs or symptoms of syphilis. Groups who benefit from screening include those at high risk of contracting syphilis as well as groups more likely to transmit this infection to others. Diagnostic testing is recommended for people who have signs or symptoms that could be caused by syphilis. Syphilis can cause a wide range of symptoms, so doctors may recommend testing for syphilis even when symptoms aren’t severe or specific to this condition. Generally, diagnosing syphilis requires two tests: an initial screening test and a second confirmatory test. Monitoring after treatment for syphilis is important to make sure that patients are responding to the prescribed treatment. Tests used to monitor patients include a physical exam to assess for changes in observable symptoms as well as laboratory blood tests to confirm a response to treatment.

Varicella Igm And Igg
Chickenpox and shingles are caused by an infection with the varicella zoster virus (VZV), a member of the herpes virus family. Varicella zoster virus tests detect either antibodies produced by the immune system in response to a VZV infection or detect the virus itself. Tests for chickenpox and shingles may be performed to detect and diagnose a current or past infection with VZV. Most often, testing is not necessary to diagnosis an active infection because it can be made from clinical signs and symptoms, but in some people with atypical skin lesions, a diagnostic test helps to confirm the infection. In some people, especially organ transplant recipients and pregnant women, the tests may be used to diagnose a current infection or to determine whether or not they have developed immunity from prior infection or by vaccination.

Alpha Fetoprotein (afp)
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a protein produced by the liver and yolk sac of a developing fetus. In adults, AFP levels are normally low. This test measures AFP levels in the blood and is used to assess liver function and monitor certain conditions related to liver and fetal health.
Alpha Fetoprotein (afp) Titer
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a protein produced by the liver and yolk sac of a developing fetus. In adults, AFP levels are normally low, but increased levels may indicate liver disorders or abnormal tissue growth. The AFP Titer test measures the amount of AFP in the blood and helps evaluate liver function, detect liver abnormalities, and monitor conditions that may affect AFP levels.
Beta Hcg
The Beta-Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (β-hCG) test measures the levels of hCG, a hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy. It is commonly used to confirm pregnancy, monitor its progression, and assess certain medical conditions related to abnormal hCG production. This test can detect pregnancy earlier than a urine test and is also used in some cases to evaluate potential pregnancy complications.
Beta Hcg Titer
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone, made up of an alpha and beta subunit, that is produced by the placenta and normally is only measurable during pregnancy. Some abnormal tissues, tumors, and cancers, however, may also produce hCG, making the hCG test useful as a tumor maker. This test measures the amount of intact hCG, and sometimes the beta subunit of hCG, in the blood. An increased level of hCG is seen with gestational trophoblastic disease and some germ cell tumors (benign and cancerous). If hCG is increased with these conditions, then the hCG test can be used as a diagnostic and monitoring tool. Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is a group of tumor types that develop in a woman’s uterus from the layer of cells surrounding an embryo that creates the placenta during a normal pregnancy (trophoblasts) and produces hCG. GTD usually occurs at the beginning of pregnancy after an egg has been fertilized, but instead of supporting the growth of a fetus, the cells form abnormal tissue masses. In most cases, the tumors are benign, but in a small percentage of people, they are cancerous. According to the American Cancer Society, GTD occurs in about 1 in 1,000 pregnancies. It can also occur after a normal pregnancy or after a miscarriage or abortion. The primary forms of GTD are: Hydatidiform mole – also called a “molar pregnancy,” which may be complete (only tumor tissue) or a mixture of tumor and fetal tissue but does not develop into a viable baby; these are usually benign but must be surgically removed. Invasive mole – a hydatidiform mole that grows into the uterus wall; it must be surgically removed; however, the condition can persist if GTD tissue remains. Choriocarcinoma – a rare cancer that may develop from the GTD tumor tissue in about 2 to 7 per 100,000 pregnancies; these cancers can grow quickly and spread to other parts of the body. Placental site trophoblastic tumor – also rare, this tumor arise
Ca-125 (ovarian Ca)
The purpose of a CA-125 test is to measure the amount of CA-125 in the blood. Although CA-125 may be elevated in several health conditions and multiple types of cancer, testing for CA-125 is typically reserved for patients with suspected or confirmed ovarian cancer. A doctor may order a CA-125 test for several reasons: Diagnosing a pelvic mass: CA-125 testing may be used to help determine if a pelvic mass seen on an imaging test could be related to ovarian cancer. Around 80% of patients with the most common type of ovarian cancer have elevated CA-125 levels. Screening in high-risk patients: CA-125 testing is used to screen for ovarian cancer in patients at high risk of developing ovarian cancer due to hereditary cancer syndromes, such as those with inherited BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations. CA-125 testing is not used to screen for ovarian cancer in patients who are not at a high risk of developing this disease. Evaluating treatment response: Testing levels of CA-125 helps doctors monitor how well a patient’s ovarian cancer is responding to treatment. Estimating prognosis: Although not all expert groups agree, some recommend measuring levels of CA-125 to help estimate a patient’s prognosis or chance of recovery from ovarian cancer. Monitoring for cancer recurrence: Monitoring the level of CA-125 helps doctors check for signs of a return of cancer after a patient has completed treatment for ovarian cancer.
Ca-153 (breast Ca)
Cancer antigen 15-3 (CA 15-3) is a protein that is produced by normal breast cells. In many people with cancerous breast tumors, there is an increased production of CA 15-3 and the related cancer antigen 27.29. CA 15-3 does not cause cancer; rather, it is shed by the tumor cells and enters the blood.
Ca-199 (pancreatic Ca)
The purpose of a CA 19-9 test is to measure the amount of CA 19-9 in the blood. CA 19-9 is a type of tumor marker. Tumor markers are substances found in tissue, blood, or other body fluids that may be a sign of cancer or certain noncancerous conditions. Testing may be performed for a number of reasons, including: Diagnosing cancer and other medical conditions: CA 19-9 can be elevated as a result of pancreatic cancer and other cancers of the digestive system. It can also be increased by non-cancerous conditions such as scarring of the liver. Because it may be affected by multiple conditions, CA 19-9 testing is not used as the only test to make a diagnosis. Instead, CA 19-9 measurements are usually combined with the results of other tests, such as imaging and biopsy, to diagnose cancer or other diseases. Evaluating cancer treatment: For people who have already been diagnosed with cancer, periodic monitoring of CA 19-9 can help doctors evaluate how the cancer is responding to treatment. In patients with pancreatic cancer, for example, a CA 19-9 level will generally be taken after diagnosis. This is referred to as a baseline measurement and can be compared to future levels taken during or after treatment. Estimating cancer prognosis: The level of elevation of CA 19-9, both at initial diagnosis and after treatment, is one of several factors that may help doctors estimate a patient’s prognosis. Prognosis is the likely outcome of a disease, and it can also be affected by things like the stage or extent of a disease, any coexisting conditions, and a patient’s overall health. Monitoring for cancer recurrence: Doctors may use CA 19-9 testing to evaluate pancreatic cancer patients who have received treatment with surgery to check for evidence of a recurrence. A recurrence is the return of a disease, usually after a period of time when it was not detectable. CA 19-9 testing is not indicated for use as a method to screen for cancer. Screening refers to searching
Ca-724 (gastric Ca)
CA72-4 is a tumor marker (TM) that has been found elevated in a variety of human adenocarcinomas, with reported sensitivities of up 50% and overall specificity of over 95%. Using the DRG TM-CA72-4 assay, we quantified the abnormality rate of TM CA72-4 compared with current FDA-approved TM in various cancers. Specimen: Blood
Carcinoembryonic Antigen (cea)
CEA testing evaluates how much carcinoembryonic antigen is in the blood, spinal fluid, or peritoneal fluid. CEA is a protein that is normal in developing fetuses but drops to low or nonexistent levels after birth. Because CEA isn’t typically found in adults, its detection can be related to certain cancers or other health problems. The purpose of a CEA test is to measure the presence and amount of CEA in a patient’s test sample. CEA is a type of tumor marker. A tumor marker is a substance found in the body that may be a sign of cancer or other health conditions. Testing may be performed for several purposes: Estimating cancer prognosis: Prognosis is a prediction of the expected course or outcome of a disease. Doctors may use CEA levels along with other factors such as the stage or extent of a person’s cancer to estimate their prognosis. Monitoring cancer treatment: An increase or decrease of CEA levels during treatment for specific types of cancer may reflect whether treatment is working effectively. In the case of cancers of the colon and rectum, for example, a CEA level will generally be taken as a baseline measurement after diagnosis so that it can be compared to future CEA levels taken during treatment. Detecting cancer recurrence: Doctors often monitor CEA levels after treatment for some cancers as a way of trying to determine whether cancer has returned. For example, patients with earlier stage colon and rectal cancer have CEA testing every 3 to 6 months for several years after receiving initial treatment. In addition to colon and rectal cancer, CEA testing may be done in relation to the following types of cancer: Breast cancer Lung cancer Thyroid cancer Pancreatic cancer Head and neck cancer Cancers of the urinary or reproductive tracts CEA testing is not used for screening, which is looking for cancer in people who have no symptoms. It is also not used for cancer diagnosis because other, noncancerous conditions can cause CEA lev

Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate (dhea)
Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) is a male sex hormone (androgen) that is present in both men and women. This test measures the level of DHEAS in the blood. DHEAS: Plays a role in developing male secondary sexual characteristics at puberty. Can be converted by the body into more potent androgens, such as testosterone and androstenedione. Can be converted into the female hormone estrogen. DHEAS is produced almost exclusively by the adrenal glands, with smaller amounts being produced by a woman’s ovaries and a man’s testicles. A DHEAS test is useful in determining whether the adrenal glands are working properly. Adrenal tumors (cancerous and non-cancerous) and enlargement of an adrenal gland (hyperplasia) can lead to an increased level of DHEAS. Rarely, an ovarian tumor may produce DHEAS. Excess DHEAS: May not be noticed in adult men Can cause early (precocious) puberty in young boys Can lead to absence of menstrual periods (amenorrhea) and the development of masculine physical characteristics (virilization) in girls and women, such as excess body and facial hair (hirsutism) Can cause a female baby to be born with genitals that are not distinctly male or female in appearance (ambiguous external genitalia)
Ferritin
Ferritin is a protein that stores iron, a nutrient that is necessary for the production of healthy red blood cells and the distribution of oxygen throughout the body. When the body uses iron, a small amount of ferritin is released from cells and circulates in the blood. Your ferritin level reflects the total amount of iron stored in your body. Having too little or too much iron in the body can be a sign of a serious health condition. Doctors will order a ferritin test with other iron tests if you have signs of anemia, iron overload, or after a complete blood count (CBC) test indicates low hemoglobin or hematocrit levels. The purpose of a ferritin test is to determine whether your body is storing a normal amount of iron. The result of a ferritin test may be interpreted alone, but most often it is evaluated at the same time as blood tests, liver function tests, or iron studies. Ferritin testing is used to screen for, diagnose, or monitor certain conditions.

Prostate Specific Antigen (psa)
A PSA test can determine if you have high levels of PSA in your blood. Normally, PSA is produced and released within the prostate gland, where it helps make semen and plays an important role in fertility. Only small amounts of PSA move out of the prostate and into the blood in healthy people, but several prostate conditions can cause higher levels of PSA in the blood.

C-peptide
C-peptide is a substance, a short chain of amino acids, that is released into the blood as a byproduct of the formation of insulin by the pancreas. This test measures the amount of C-peptide in a blood or sometimes a urine sample. In the pancreas, within specialized cells called beta cells, proinsulin, a biologically inactive molecule, is split apart to form one molecule of C-peptide and one molecule of insulin. Insulin is vital for the transport of glucose into the body’s cells and is required on a daily basis. When insulin is released from the beta cells into the blood in response to increased levels of glucose, equal amounts of C-peptide are also released. Since C-peptide is produced at the same rate as insulin, it is useful as a marker of insulin production. In particular, C-peptide testing can be used to help evaluate the production of insulin made by the body (endogenous) and to help differentiate it from insulin taken in as diabetic medication (exogenous) which not generate C-peptide. This test may be done in conjunction with an insulin test or a glucose test.
Free Triiodothyronine (ft3)
T3 is an important thyroid hormone that regulates metabolism and ensures your body is able to perform essential functions properly. While most T3 in the bloodstream is bound to protein, some is unbound, or free. The free T3 test measures the active form of T3 that is not bound to protein. The total T3 test measures bound T3 and free T3 combined. Free T3 or total T3 blood tests may be ordered to evaluate thyroid function if a thyroid disorder is suspected. They may also be used to evaluate pituitary gland problems, to assess the severity and type of thyroid disease, and to monitor treatment for a thyroid condition. Both free T3 and total T3 testing are used to evaluate thyroid function. Along with other thyroid function tests, free and total T3 tests play a role in diagnosing thyroid disorders, such as an overactive or underactive thyroid gland, assessing the severity of thyroid problems, diagnosing pituitary gland disorders, and monitoring patients with known thyroid conditions. T3 testing may be used as a follow-up test if a patient has had an abnormal thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) test. A free or total T3 test is often part of a thyroid panel, a group of tests which are used together to evaluate thyroid health. Either test may be used to evaluate thyroid function: Free T3 testing may be used to determine whether thyroid replacement therapy is effective. It can also help diagnose abnormalities of the proteins that bind thyroid hormones. Total T3 is considered by many experts to be a more reliable measurement than free T3. Total T3 may be used to help diagnose hyperthyroidism or a pituitary gland disorder, evaluate the cause of an overactive thyroid, and monitor a patient’s response to treatment of hyperthyroidism.

Free Thyroxine (ft4)
T4, also called thyroxine, is the main form of thyroid hormone made by the thyroid gland. Most T4 is bound to proteins, while a small proportion is unbound, or free. Free T4 testing measures T4 that circulates through the blood and is available to enter body tissues and act upon them. Total T4 testing measures the total amount of T4, including free T4 and T4 that is bound to proteins. T4 is measured by taking a blood sample. A low T4 test result may indicate an underactive thyroid gland or problems with its stimulation by the pituitary gland. A high level of T4 may be a sign of an overactive thyroid, called hyperthyroidism. A T4 test may be ordered if thyroid problems are suspected or to follow up after an abnormal thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) test result.

Intact Parathyroid Hormone (pth)
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) testing measures the level of parathyroid hormone in your blood. PTH is made by the parathyroid glands, which are four pea-sized glands located in the neck. Parathyroid hormone controls the level of calcium in your blood and bones. It also helps regulate blood levels of phosphorus and vitamin D. If you have too much or too little parathyroid hormone, it can cause abnormalities in blood calcium levels that may lead to serious health problems. PTH testing may be ordered to diagnose the underlying cause if you have signs of a health problem such as: Too much or too little calcium in the bloodstream Low levels of phosphorus in the blood Severe osteoporosis

Insulin
Insulin is a hormone that is produced and stored in the beta cells of the pancreas. It is secreted in response to elevated blood glucose following a meal and is vital for the transportation and storage of glucose, the body’s main source of energy. Insulin helps transport glucose from the blood to within cells, thus helping regulate blood glucose levels, and has a role in lipid metabolism. This test measures the amount of insulin in the blood. Insulin and glucose blood levels must be in balance. After a meal, carbohydrates usually are broken down into glucose and other simple sugars. These are absorbed into the blood, causing the blood glucose level to rise, which in turn stimulates the pancreas to release insulin into the blood. As glucose moves into cells, the level in the blood decreases and release of insulin by the pancreas decreases.

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (tsh) Ria/irma
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) signals the thyroid gland to make hormones that control how your body uses and stores energy, called your metabolism. Testing the level of TSH in your blood can reveal if your thyroid gland is functioning normally. The level of TSH is tightly controlled by the levels of other thyroid hormones in your blood. High TSH levels may indicate that your thyroid is underactive and needs to be stimulated more, which is called hypothyroidism. Low levels may mean it’s overactive and needs to be stimulated less, called hyperthyroidism. About 5% of American adults have hypothyroidism, and slightly more than 1% have hyperthyroidism. Your TSH level provides information about whether your thyroid gland is functioning normally. TSH is often tested as part of a thyroid panel, along with tests of hormones produced by the thyroid gland. If TSH alone is tested and the result is abnormal, additional thyroid tests may be ordered. TSH testing may be used for the following reasons: To diagnose an underactive or overactive thyroid gland To screen for thyroid disease before it causes symptoms, especially in newborns To evaluate a thyroid nodule, which is a lump on the thyroid gland To evaluate a goiter, which is enlargement of the thyroid gland To diagnose or rule out thyroid diseases, such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Graves’ disease, and thyroid cancer To monitor a patient’s response to treatment for hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, or another thyroid condition

Lactate Dehydrogenase (serum)
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is an enzyme found in nearly all body tissues, including the liver, heart, muscles, kidneys, and red blood cells. It plays a key role in energy production by converting lactate into pyruvate. This test measures LDH levels in the blood to help assess tissue health and detect cell damage. Since LDH is not specific to a single organ, it is often used alongside other tests to identify the source of tissue injury.
Cerebrospinal Fluid (csf) Ldh
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is an enzyme found in many tissues, including the brain and spinal cord, where it plays a role in energy production. This test measures LDH levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to help evaluate tissue damage, inflammation, or other conditions affecting the central nervous system.
Stone Analysis
This test examines the composition of urinary or kidney stones to determine their mineral content. This analysis helps identify the underlying causes of stone formation, assess the risk of recurrence, and guide dietary or medical interventions to prevent future stone development. The stones are chemically analyzed to detect substances such as calcium oxalate, uric acid, struvite, or cystine, which contribute to kidney stone formation. Understanding the stone’s composition can help in dietary and medical management.
Estrogen Receptors
The purpose of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) testing is to assess how a cancer grows. Testing determines whether breast cancer cells have special proteins called receptors that can bind to the hormones estrogen or progesterone. The result of the test determines the cancer’s ER/PR status. Cancers with estrogen receptors are referred to as estrogen receptor-positive or ER-positive. Breast cancers with progesterone receptors are referred to as progesterone receptor-positive or PR-positive. Testing is usually done at the same time that a tissue sample is analyzed for the presence of cancer. If cancer is found, an ER/PR test can assess whether the cancer can use estrogen and progesterone to grow. Knowing the ER/PR status of a tumor can help a doctor understand a patient’s prognosis, which is the most likely course of the disease, including the risk of the cancer coming back after treatment. ER/PR testing is also used for treatment planning because it can help determine if a patient may benefit from a type of treatment called hormone therapy.

Digoxin Test
Digoxin is a drug used to treat heart failure and abnormal heart rhythms. Heart failure, including congestive heart failure (CHF), causes the heart to become less effective at circulating blood. As a result, blood backs up into the legs, hands, feet, lungs and liver, causing swelling, shortness of breath, and fatigue. This test measures the amount of digoxin in the blood. Digoxin is prescribed to relieve some symptoms of heart failure. It strengthens the contractions of the heart and helps it to pump blood more efficiently. Digoxin also helps control the heart rate and abnormal heart rhythms known as arrhythmias. It will not cure heart failure or arrhythmias, which are long-term (chronic) conditions, but can help to manage the symptoms along with diet, exercise, and other medications. Digoxin levels must be monitored because the drug has a narrow safety range. If the level in the blood is too low, symptoms may recur. If the level is too high, toxicity may occur. Digoxin dosage may be adjusted based on levels measured.
Nicotine And Tobacco Test
Nicotine and cotinine testing detect evidence of nicotine use and presumed tobacco usage. Testing is most often performed on a sample of urine or saliva, but may also be performed on samples of blood or hair. Nicotine and cotinine testing may be used in a variety of circumstances, including prior to starting a new insurance policy and to confirm that a person has quit using tobacco in a smoking cessation program. A nicotine or cotinine test is used to detect evidence of nicotine use and presumed tobacco usage. Testing may be performed in a variety of settings: Smoking cessation programs: Levels of nicotine and/or cotinine may be measured to estimate the amount of nicotine consumed before quitting, as well as to confirm that a person has quit using tobacco and other nicotine products. Insurance medical exam: While not all insurance companies require a medical exam or nicotine and cotinine testing, some may require that applicants be tested for nicotine exposure as part of a medical exam performed prior to approving an insurance policy. Employment testing: Many employers restrict tobacco use in the workplace, and nicotine or cotinine tests may be required when a person applies at a job that prohibits smoking. Medical testing: Nicotine exposure may be measured prior to qualifying for a surgery or organ transplantation, as well as in cases of suspected nicotine poisoning. Tobacco use increases the risk of poor wound healing and can cause additional side effects after an organ transplant. Although nicotine poisoning is uncommon, it most often occurs in children who accidentally ingest nicotine patches, nicotine gum, or e-cigarette liquid.

Urinary Bilirubin
This test detects the presence of bilirubin in the urine. Bilirubin is a yellow pigment produced during the breakdown of red blood cells and is normally processed by the liver and excreted in bile. In healthy individuals, bilirubin is not typically found in urine. This test helps assess liver function and detect conditions affecting bilirubin metabolism and excretion.
Urine Ketones
Urine ketones are substances produced when the body breaks down fat for energy instead of using carbohydrates. This test measures the presence of ketones in the urine and helps monitor fat metabolism. It is commonly used to assess metabolic conditions, carbohydrate utilization, and nutritional status.
Albumin/ Creatinine Ratio (acr)
The albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) is a test that measures the amount of albumin and creatinine in urine. It helps assess kidney function by detecting early signs of kidney damage, as elevated albumin levels in the urine can indicate kidney stress or injury.
Branches: Magsaysay, Norzagaray, Pureza
Albumin Quantitative (urine)
Albumin is a protein found in the blood, and its presence in urine can indicate kidney dysfunction. This test measures the amount of albumin in the urine to assess kidney health and monitor for early signs of kidney damage.
Aldosterone (urine)
Aldosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that helps regulate sodium and potassium levels, as well as blood pressure. This test measures the amount of aldosterone excreted in the urine over a 24-hour period. It is used to assess adrenal gland function and investigate conditions related to abnormal fluid and electrolyte balance.
Amylase (urine)
Amylase is an enzyme produced by the pancreas and salivary glands that aids in carbohydrate digestion. This test measures the level of amylase in the urine to help assess pancreatic function and detect conditions affecting the pancreas.
Blood Urea Nitrogen (bun) (urine)
Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) is a waste product formed from protein metabolism and is excreted by the kidneys through urine. This test measures the amount of urea in the urine to help assess kidney function and protein metabolism.
Cortisol (urine)
Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that helps regulate metabolism, immune response, blood pressure, and the body’s response to stress. Unlike blood cortisol, which fluctuates throughout the day, urinary cortisol reflects overall cortisol production over a 24-hour period. This test measures cortisol levels in the urine to assess adrenal gland function and long-term cortisol secretion.
Creatinine Clearance
Creatinine clearance is a test that measures how efficiently the kidneys filter creatinine, a waste product produced by muscle metabolism, from the blood into the urine. It provides an estimate of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and helps assess overall kidney function. This test involves both a blood and a urine sample collected over a 24-hour period to compare creatinine levels.
Glucose (urine)
Glucose is a type of sugar that serves as the body's main source of energy. Normally, the kidneys filter and reabsorb glucose, preventing it from appearing in urine. This test measures the presence of glucose in urine to help assess blood sugar control and kidney function. Persistent glucose in urine may indicate an issue with glucose regulation.
Microalbumin (micral Test)
Microalbumin is a small amount of albumin in the urine. Albumin is a protein that helps maintain fluid balance in the body, and its presence in urine may indicate early kidney function changes. The Micral test is a quick, semi-quantitative urine test used to detect microalbumin levels. It is often performed to monitor kidney health, especially in individuals at risk for kidney disease.
Branches: Magsaysay, Norzagaray, Pureza
Phosphorus (urine)
Phosphorus is an essential mineral involved in bone formation, energy production, and cellular function. A urine phosphorus test measures the amount of phosphorus excreted by the kidneys, helping assess how the body regulates phosphorus levels. This test is useful in evaluating kidney function, dietary phosphorus absorption, and conditions that affect phosphorus balance, such as hormonal disorders and metabolic conditions.
Magnesium (urine)
Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a vital role in nerve function, muscle contraction, enzyme activity, and maintaining electrolyte balance. Unlike a serum magnesium test, which measures the amount of magnesium in the blood, a urine magnesium test evaluates how much magnesium is being excreted by the kidneys. This test helps assess magnesium balance, kidney function, and the body's ability to retain or lose magnesium, which can be influenced by diet, medications, and underlying medical conditions.
Metanephrine (urine)
Metanephrines are metabolites of catecholamines, which are hormones produced by the adrenal glands that help regulate the body's response to stress. This test measures the amount of metanephrines in the urine to assess adrenal gland activity and catecholamine metabolism. Since metanephrines are continuously produced and excreted, a urine test provides an overall assessment of their levels over time, helping to evaluate hormone regulation and metabolic function.
Total Protein (urine)
Total protein in urine measures the amount of protein excreted by the kidneys. Normally, only small amounts of protein pass into the urine, but increased levels may indicate kidney dysfunction, dehydration, or other underlying conditions affecting kidney filtration. This test helps assess kidney health, detect protein loss, and monitor conditions that may affect protein balance in the body. It is often performed as part of a urinalysis or a 24-hour urine collection for a more detailed evaluation.
Uric Acid (urine)
Uric acid is a waste product formed from the breakdown of purines, which are found in certain foods and naturally produced by the body. The kidneys filter uric acid from the blood and excrete it in the urine. This test measures the amount of uric acid in urine to help assess kidney function and the body's ability to eliminate uric acid. It is often used to evaluate conditions related to uric acid metabolism and to monitor individuals at risk of kidney stone formation.
Vanillylmandelic Acid (vma) (urine)
Vanillylmandelic Acid (VMA) is a metabolite of catecholamines, which are hormones produced by the adrenal glands, including epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine. This test measures the amount of VMA in the urine to help assess catecholamine metabolism. It is often used to evaluate the body's stress response and adrenal gland activity. Abnormal levels may indicate imbalances in hormone production.
Fecal Immunochemistry (fit) (stool)
The fecal immunochemical test (FIT) looks for hidden blood in the stool. This test is most commonly used to screen for colorectal cancer, but it can find gastrointestinal bleeding caused by other conditions. FIT uses a stool sample collected at home. While the FIT generally produces more reliable results than other stool-based tests, it cannot diagnose any condition. If abnormal results are found, more specialized testing may be needed. The primary purpose of the FIT is to help find colorectal cancer or precancerous polyps early. A colon polyp is a small mass of cells. Most polyps do not cause harm, but some can become cancerous if they are not removed. Both colorectal cancers and polyps release trace amounts of blood that is excreted with stool. A microscopic amount of blood in the stool can be one of the first signs of colorectal cancer. Diagnosing colorectal cancer early can make it easier to treat. The FIT is used as a screening test, meaning that it checks for signs of cancer or polyps in people who do not otherwise have symptoms of these conditions. The FIT is not used in people who are already known to have colorectal cancer. Blood in the stool can have causes other than polyps and cancer, such as hemorrhoids and ulcers. The FIT cannot determine the specific source of the blood or what is causing it, only whether blood is present. More specialized or invasive testing may be necessary if blood is found or if other symptoms are present.
Fecal Occult Blood Test (fobt)
The Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) is a screening test used to detect hidden (occult) blood in the stool, which may not be visible to the naked eye. The presence of blood in the stool can indicate bleeding in the digestive tract, which may be caused by various conditions. This test is commonly used as part of routine screening for gastrointestinal bleeding and to help assess digestive health. It is not a diagnostic test but can indicate the need for further investigation if blood is detected.
Sputum Acid Fast Bacilli (afb)
The Sputum Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) test detects the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other acid-fast bacteria in a sputum sample. A special staining technique is used to identify these bacteria under a microscope. This test helps diagnose tuberculosis (TB) and monitor the effectiveness of TB treatment.
Blood Culture And Sensitivity Using Bactec Bottles
The Blood Culture and Sensitivity test detects bacterial or fungal infections in the bloodstream. A sample of blood is cultured in a laboratory to identify microorganisms that may be causing a systemic infection, such as sepsis. If bacteria or fungi grow in the culture, further testing is done to determine which antibiotics or antifungal medications are most effective for treatment. This test helps diagnose serious infections, guide appropriate antimicrobial therapy, and monitor treatment effectiveness. Multiple blood samples may be collected at different times to improve detection accuracy.

Rapid Antibody Test For Sars Cov-2 With Medical Certificate
The purpose of at-home COVID-19 antibody testing is to check whether you may have had a previous infection with SARS-CoV-2. Antibody tests can only indicate potential past infection. They cannot be used to determine if you currently have COVID-19. These tests are most often used in specific circumstances: Testing people with long-lasting symptoms: Symptoms of COVID-19 can persist for many weeks, and at that point, tests for an active infection may come back negative. In these situations, an antibody test can help determine whether symptoms are likely to be related to a past coronavirus infection. Testing people with possible late effects of COVID-19: Certain complications from COVID-19 can develop months after you were initially infected. A positive antibody test can help confirm that you had COVID-19 and may help explain these late-developing effects. Health research: Researchers may use antibody tests to estimate how many people have had COVID-19 or to better understand the immune response to COVID-19.

Human Epididymis Protein 4 (he4)
Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) is a protein that is produced by most, but not all, epithelial ovarian cancer cells. This makes the test useful as a tumor marker in specific circumstances. The HE4 test measures the amount of human epididymis protein 4 in the blood. Significantly elevated concentrations of HE4 are frequently present in the blood of a woman who has epithelial ovarian cancer. When HE4 is increased, the HE4 test may be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment and/or for recurrence or progression of the cancer. Ovarian cancer is the fifth most common cause of cancer death in women. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), the lifetime risk of a woman developing ovarian cancer is about 1 in 75 and the lifetime risk of death is 1 in 100. ACS estimates that about 22,000 new cases are diagnosed each year in the U.S. and about 14,000 women die of it.

Rapid Antigen For Sars Cov-2 With Medical Certificate
The role of antigen tests is to determine if a person has COVID-19. They are primarily used in screening for and in some cases diagnosing COVID-19: Diagnosis is testing once a person has shown symptoms of a disease or has a known exposure to a disease. For COVID-19, molecular tests like the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR or just PCR) are considered the gold standard for diagnosis. When those tests are unavailable, an antigen test can be used for diagnosis in people who have symptoms consistent with COVID-19. However, antigen tests have a higher risk of indicating a negative result in someone who has actually been infected with the virus, also called a false negative result.
