A total iron-binding capacity (TIBC or transferrin) test is used to measure the amount of iron in the body. It helps to detect iron deficiency or iron overload. It is a part of Iron Deficiency Profile. It is always advisable to go for complete profile, as level of each test in profile are considered while making decision on diagnosis as well as monitoring the treatment.

Iron Deficiency Profile are a group of blood tests that are done to evaluate the iron level in blood serum, the body's capacity to absorb iron, and the amount of iron actually stored in the body. There are three different types of tests that measure the body's iron levels and storage. They are called iron level tests, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) tests, and transferrin tests. These tests are given for several reasons: To help in the differential diagnosis of different types of anemia, to assess the severity of anemia and monitor the treatment of patients with chronic anemia, To evaluate protein depletion and other forms of malnutrition, To check for certain liver disorders, •To help diagnose certain unusual disorders, including iron poisoning, thalassemia, hemosiderosis, and hemochromatosis.

This test uses a microscope to detect bacteria called acid-fast bacilli in fluid or tissue samples. This test is used to detect tuberculosis. A sample of sputum, bronchial samples, blood, cerebrospinal fluid, urine, stool, or other body fluids or tissues may be collected for this test.

A culture is a test helps determines what organism is causing an infection by allowing the bacteria to grow to be better examined and a sensitivity determines how the organism can best be treated.

Reports in Fungal Smear Same day,Culture Report 2 weeks

Fungal tests are used to help detect and diagnose a fungal infection, to help guide treatment. Fungal cultures are used to evaluate for suspected fungal disease (eg, candidiasis).

A Gram stain of the material from an infected site are the most commonly performed microbiology tests used to identify the cause of a bacterial infection. Gram stain of the specimen smeared on a slide to determine numbers of bacteria, whether cocci or bacilli and whether gram–negative or gram–positive. In a case of meningitis, for example, the gram stain gives a presumptive diagnosis and dictates initial antibiotic treatment.

A stool culture is used to detect the presence of disease-causing bacteria (pathogenic) and help diagnose an infection of the digestive tract.

Reports in AFB Smear same day,Interim Report 1- 10days,Interim report 2-3 weeks,Final report 6 weeks

TB cultures are used to diagnose active M. tuberculosis infections. They are used to help determine whether the TB is confined to the lungs (pulmonary disease) or has spread to organs outside the lungs (extrapulmonary disease). AFBcultures can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment and can help determine when a patient is no longer infectious.

Reports in Interim Report Same day,Final report 6 days

Blood cultures are used to detect the presence of bacteria or fungi in the blood, to identify the type present, and to guide treatment.

A pus culture is primarily ordered to help determine whether a wound is infected and to identify the bacteria causing the infection.

This test is the most commonly performed microbiology tests used to identify the cause of a bacterial infection.

This test measures blood levels of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), also known as Serum Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (SASE). The primary function of ACE is to help regulate arterial pressure. The ACE test is used primarily to detect and monitor the clinical course of sarcoidosis (a disease that affects many organs, especially the lungs), to differentiate between sarcoidosis and similar diseases, and to delineate between active and inactive sarcoid disease. Elevated ACE levels are also found in a number of other conditions, including Gaucher's disease (a rare familial disorder of fat metabolism) and leprosy.

This test measures the level of acid phosphatase in body. Acid phosphatase is an enzyme found throughout the body, but primarily in the prostate gland. Like all enzymes, it is needed to trigger specific chemical reactions. Acid phosphatase testing is done to diagnose whether prostate cancer has spread to other parts of the body (metastasized), and to check the effectiveness of treatment. The test has been largely supplanted by the prostate specific antigen test (PSA). When prostate cancer spreads to other parts of the body, acid phosphatase levels rise, particularly if the cancer spreads to the bone. One-half to three-fourths of persons who have metastasized prostate cancer have high acid phosphatase levels. Levels fall after the tumor is removed or reduced through treatment. This is not a screening test for prostate cancer. Acid phosphatase levels rise only after prostate cancer has metastasized.

This test used to measures adenosine deaminase level in blood. Adenosine Deaminase Activity (ADA) test helps to detect or rule out a Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in pleural fluid in order to assist in the diagnosis of tuberculosis; rarely to detect the infection in other body fluids such as peritoneal fluid or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)

The alanine aminotransferase test, also known as ALT, is one of a group of tests known as liver function tests (or LFTs) and is used to monitor damage to the liver. The alanine aminotransferase test (ALT) can reveal liver damage. It is probably the most specific test for liver damage. However, the severity of the liver damage is not necessarily shown by the ALT test, since the amount of dead liver tissue does not correspond to higher ALT levels. Also, patients with normal, or declining, ALT levels may experience serious liver damage without an increase in ALT. Nevertheless, ALT is widely used, and useful, because ALT levels are elevated in most patients with liver disease. Although ALT levels do not necessarily indicate the severity of the damage to the liver, they may indicate how much of the liver has been damaged. ALT levels, when compared to the levels of a similar enzyme, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), may provide important clues to the nature of the liver disease. It is a part of Liver Function Test. It is always advisable to go for complete profile, as level of each test in profile are considered while making decision on diagnosis as well as monitoring the treatment.
