Description: It is used in paitents with borderline fasting and postprandial glucose to support or rule out the diagnosis of dibetus mellitus, it may be used in cases of unexplained hypertriglyceridemia, neuropathy, impotence, diabetus like renal disease & retinopathy.
Description: It is a diagnostic test for gestational diabetis , it measures glucose concentration over three hours after a 100 gm oral glucose load. (oral glucose grams may vary according to Physician)
Description: A test used to measure glucose levels in blood, is used to diagnose & monitor prediabetus, diabetus (type I,II and gestational), hyperglycemia & hypoglycemia . [ Glucose is the major source of energy for the body & the brain cells, it is produced when carbohydrates are digested & is then transported to cells throughout the body via the hormone Insulin produced by the pancrease].
Description: This IgG antibody test looks for antibodies that develop as a result of H. Pylori presence that indicate that there is currently an H. Pylori infection or that there was an H. Pylori infection in the past 12-18 months.
H. Pylori can cause ulcers in the stomach or small intestine, as well as a condition called gastritis in which the inside of the stomach becomes inflamed.
Description: This blood test is used to detect the presence of hepatitis C antibodies to determine whether or not an individual has immunity to the virus.
Hepatitis C is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that mainly affects the liver. Hepatitis C (HCV) is spread by contact with blood or bodily fluids from a person infected with the virus. There is not currently a vaccine/immunization for Hepatitis C.
Description: Monitoring of HDL-cholesterol in serum is of clinical importance since an inverse correlation exists between serum HDL-cholesterol concentrations and the risk of atherosclerotic disease. Elevated HDL-cholesterol concentrations are protective against coronary heart disease, while reduced HDL-cholesterol concentrations, particularly in conjunction with elevated triglycerides, increase the cardiovascular risk.2,3 Strategies have emerged for treating cardiovascular disease by increasing HDL-cholesterol levels.
Description: The Hemoglobin A1c ( glycohemoglobin; glycated hemoglobin or hgb A1C) test evaluates the average amount of glucose in the blood over the past 8-12 weeks.
Includes: The Hepatic Function test (Liver Function Panel) is a common health screening that can help to identify conditions affecting the liver. This test is also used to monitor people who are being treated for liver disease. The Hepatic Function Panel includes the following tests: 1-Alanine Amino Transferase (ALT): An enzyme produced by the liver which is typically elevated in cases of liver damage.
2-Aspartate Amino Transferase (AST): A liver enzyme which is typically elevated in cases of liver damage or Hepatitis.
3-Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP): An enzyme found in the liver and bones which is increased when there is liver or bone damage.
4-Protein, Total: A measure of albumin and all other proteins on the blood.
5-Albumin: The main protein produced by the liver.
6-Bilirubin, Total: Helps to identify conditions such as anemia , sickle cell, hepatitis, cirrhosis, alcohol and drug abuse.
7-Bilirubin Direct: Used in conjunction with Total Bilirubin to aid in the diagnosis of liver disorders
Description: Differential diagnosis of hepatitis; the presence of IgM antibody to hepatitis A virus is good evidence for acute hepatitis A.
