This test measures Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate (P5P), the active coenzyme form of Vitamin B6, to evaluate your nutritional status, nerve health, and metabolic function. It helps detect a deficiency or monitor supplement safety, though you should hold your daily B6 supplements on the morning of the test to avoid a false spike.
This test calculates the total number of red blood cells in your sample, which are vital for carrying oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. It is a standard component of a Complete Blood Count (CBC) used to screen for conditions like anemia, dehydration, or fatigue.
This test screens a urine sample for leucocyte esterase, an enzyme produced by white blood cells, to quickly identify inflammation or infection in the urinary tract. A positive result strongly suggests a urinary tract infection (UTI) and typically prompts a follow-up urine culture.
This test screens a blood sample for Plasmodium falciparum, the most severe species of malaria parasite, to confirm an active infection. It detects the physical presence of the parasite or its antigens, meaning your dietary status has no effect on the accuracy of the result.
This diagnostic test screens a blood smear or uses a rapid antigen kit to detect the presence of Plasmodium vivax, the parasite responsible for the most widespread form of benign tertian malaria. It looks directly for the parasite or its specific proteins, which means your recent food intake will not alter the accuracy of the result.
This test measures the specific percentage of Hemoglobin A2 in your blood to help screen for or diagnose hemoglobin disorders, particularly beta-thalassemia trait. It is a specialized part of a hemoglobin electrophoresis panel and remains completely unaffected by recent food intake.
This test screens for Hemoglobin C, an inherited abnormal type of hemoglobin (the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen). It helps doctors diagnose specific genetic blood disorders, like Hemoglobin C disease, which can cause mild anemia or an enlarged spleen.
This test identifies Hemoglobin D, a rare, inherited variant of the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells. It is primarily used to diagnose Hemoglobin D disease or traits, which usually cause no symptoms on their own but can cause mild anemia if inherited alongside other abnormal hemoglobin genes.
This test measures the level of fetal hemoglobin (Hemoglobin F), the primary oxygen-carrying protein found in developing fetuses and newborns. While normal in tiny amounts for adults, elevated levels can indicate genetic blood disorders like thalassemia, sickle cell anemia, or hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin
This test screens for Hemoglobin S, the abnormal type of hemoglobin responsible for sickle cell anemia and sickle cell trait. It detects this genetic variant to diagnose or evaluate sickle cell disorders, which cause red blood cells to deform into a sickle shape and block blood flow.
This test detects long-term antibodies (IgG) produced by your immune system to determine if you have had a past infection or a later-stage secondary infection with the Dengue virus.
The Hepatitis B envelope antibody test detects proteins produced by your immune system in response to the Hepatitis B virus "e" antigen. It is primarily used to monitor the stage of a Hepatitis B infection, assess how active the virus is, and evaluate your response to treatment.
