This test detects the presence of antibodies or antigens produced by the human immunodeficiency virus to screen for or diagnose an HIV infection. It identifies if the immune system has responded to the virus, helping to determine if further diagnostic confirmation is necessary.
This test detects the presence of ketones in the urine, which are substances produced when your body breaks down fat for energy instead of glucose. It is commonly used to monitor or screen for diabetic ketoacidosis or to assess metabolic states in individuals following specific diets.
The DHEA-S test measures the levels of a steroid hormone produced primarily by the adrenal glands to evaluate their function and diagnose hormone-related disorders. It is commonly used to investigate causes of hormonal imbalances, such as irregular menstruation, excess body hair, or early puberty.
The 11-deoxycortisol test measures the levels of a hormone precursor in the blood to help evaluate adrenal gland function and diagnose conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia. It is also frequently used alongside a metyrapone stimulation test to assess the pituitary-adrenal axis and identify the underlying causes of hormone imbalances
The corticosterone test measures the levels of a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands that acts as an intermediate in the production of cortisol and aldosterone. It is primarily used to investigate specific adrenal disorders, such as rare enzyme deficiencies, that affect how the body synthesizes essential corticosteroid hormones.
The androstenedione test measures the level of a primary androgen precursor hormone produced by the adrenal glands and reproductive organs. It is used to investigate potential hormonal imbalances, such as those related to PCOS, adrenal disorders, or the development of male characteristics in females.
The 17-OHP test measures a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that acts as a precursor in the production of cortisol. It is primarily used to screen for and monitor Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH), a group of genetic disorders that affect the body's ability to produce essential stress and sex hormones.
VLDL (Very Low-Density Lipoprotein) is a type of "bad" cholesterol that transports triglycerides through the bloodstream, and the test is used to assess your risk of heart disease and monitor lipid metabolism
HOMA-IR (Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance): This test evaluates how effectively your body responds to insulin and uses your fasting glucose and insulin levels to calculate a score that helps predict the risk of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
The QUICKI is a simple mathematical calculation derived from fasting blood glucose and insulin concentrations, used to evaluate how sensitive your body is to insulin. It serves as a reliable, non-invasive tool to help identify insulin resistance and assess the risk of conditions like Type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular disease
A ferritin test measures the amount of ferritin in your blood, which directly reflects your body's total stored iron capacity. It is primarily used to detect iron-deficiency anemia (low levels) or conditions causing iron overload (high levels).
It is a simple blood test that measures the amount of the CA125 protein, which is primarily used to monitor ovarian cancer treatment or evaluate pelvic masses.
It is a dual-biomarker blood test that combines your CA-125 and HE4 protein levels to calculate the statistical risk of an existing pelvic mass being malignant.
It calculates the statistical probability that an existing pelvic mass is malignant by evaluating your CA-125 and HE4 blood protein levels specifically against postmenopausal risk metrics.
This test measures the amount of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in your blood, a hormone produced during pregnancy. It is primarily used to confirm pregnancy and monitor its early development.
