Description: This test is done to determine whether a patient has been previously exposed to Herpes Simplex Virus types 1 or 2 and to detect the presence of IgG and IgM antibodies specific to HSV 1 an/or 2 infection.
HSV 1 causes oral herpes (infection in the lips and mouth). HSV 2 causes genital herpes.
FASTING REQUIRED
Description: Human insulin is a small protein produced by the beta cells in the Islets of Langerhans located in the pancreas.
This test could be effectively used for those patients not receiving exogenous insulin or those receiving unmodified human insulin.
Insulin test is highly specific for human insulin.
Description: Iron is a mineral that is needed by your body for the production of hemoglobin, energy, and maintaining proper muscle and organ function.
Our Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) Test includes an Iron Test and is used to see if there is too much or too little iron in the blood. The TIBC Test is often used to differentiate between anemia types and gives more iron statistics than the Iron Test alone.
Description: Evaluate metabolic acidosis, regional or diffuse tissue hypoperfusion, hypoxia, shock, congestive heart failure, dehydration, complicated postoperative state, ketoacidosis or nonketotic acidosis in diabetes mellitus, patients with infections, inflammatory states, postictal state, certain myopathies, acute leukemia and other neoplasia, enzyme defects, glycogen storage disease (type I), thiamine deficiency, and hepatic failure. A relationship to renal disease also exists. With skin rash, seizures, alopecia, ataxia, keratoconjunctivitis, and lactic acidosis in children Hypoperfusion is the most common cause of lactic acidosis and hyperlactacidemia may be the only marker of tissue hypoperfusion.
Description: Lactate dehydrogenase is an enzyme found in nearly all living cells. LDH catalyzes the conversion of lactate to pyruvic acid and back. Highest levels are seen in patients with megaloblastic anemias, dissiminated sclerosis & shock. Moderate increase occur in muscular disorders, renal diseases and cirrhosis. Mild increase in cases of myocardial or pulmonary infarction, leukemia, hemolytic anemia and non viral hepatitis.
Description: LDL cholesterol measurement, in conjunction with other lipid measurements, has been shown to be useful in assessing the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD).
Description: This blood test monitors lead levels in adults. Lead is an extremely common and potentially dangerous type of heavy metal poisoning. A common source of lead exposure among children is through the mouthing of inanimate objects, specifically objects with paint and paint chips that contain lead. Acute lead exposure is rare; however, toxicity may occur through acute ingestion of a lead salt or acetate.
Early symptoms of lead poisoning include anorexia, apathy or irritability, fatigue, and anemia.
Description: This blood test is used to measure lipase levels. Lipase is an enzyme whose levels can be used to diagnose disorders of the pancreas. It is released by the pancreas into the small intestine to help the body absorb fat.
Lipase levels may help determine cancer of the pancreas or salivary glands, as well as other gastrointestinal or pancreatic issues, or liver disease. It help diagnose peritonitis, strangulated or infarcted bowel and pancreatic cyst.
Includes: Measures level of * Total Cholesterol * HDL ( good cholesterol) * LDL (bad cholesterol) * Triglycerides * Ratio.
