Select Individual Lab Tests

Blood typing is used to determine an individual's blood group, to establish whether a person is blood group A, B, AB, or O and whether he or she is Rh positive or Rh negative. 

Autoimmune diseases cause the body to attack itself, which leads to inflammation and results in damage to muscles, tissues, and organs. The body produces antibodies specific to each autoimmune disease; the antibody levels measured in your blood are then used by your doctor to diagnose the disease that is causing...

cCRP is used as an aid in the identification of individuals at risk for future cardiovascular disease. When used in conjunction with traditional clinical laboratory evaluation of acute coronary syndromes, cCRP may be useful as an independent marker of prognosis for recurrent events in patients with stable coronary disease or...

Complete Blood Count with Differential is one of the most commonly ordered tests for routine check-ups and/or physicals. A complete blood count with differential measures the levels of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelet levels, hemoglobin and hematocrit. Many times it is ordered as a screening test, as an...

The comprehensive metabolic panel, or chemical screening, (CMP) is a panel of 14 blood tests which serves as an initial medical screening tool to review overall health. The CMP functions as a check for kidney function, liver function, and electrolyte and fluid balance. 

The Adrenal gland produces a variety of hormones including cortisol in both women and men. The adrenals also produce an array of different hormones which regulate everything from blood pressure, electrolyte balance, “fight or flight response”, and numerous other important functions. Adrenal disorders are conditions which affect the normal functioning...

Dihydrotestosterone is synthesized from testosterone in the prostate gland, testes, hair follicles and adrenal glands by 5-alpha reductase. Dihydrotestosterone exerts its action similar to testosterone, which binds to and activates androgen receptors. Dihydrotestosterone is responsible for the formation of male primary sex characteristics and most male secondary sex characteristics during...

Estradiol is the predominant sex hormone present in females and is also found at lower levels in men. It represents the major estrogen in humans. Estradiol not only impacts reproductive and sexual functioning, but also affects other systems including bone health, heart health, nerves and metabolism. Estradiol, also known as...

Diagnose hypochromic, microcytic anemias. Decreased in iron deficiency anemia and increased in iron overload. Ferritin levels correlate with and are useful in evaluation of total body storage iron. In hemochromatosis, both ferritin and iron saturation are increased. Ferritin levels in hemochromatosis may be >1000 ng/mL

FSH and LH are produced by the brain in order to control the production and release of sex hormones including testosterone and estrogen. FSH and LH regulate the development, growth and reproductive processes of the body. In aging men and women, a rise in FSH and LH indicates the onset...

Insulin-like Growth Factor 1, also known as IGF-1, is used as a biomarker for blood levels of human growth hormone. The blood level of IGF-1 appears to be more constant over 24 hours than more rapidly fluctuating growth hormone and is found to be related to growth hormone secretion as...

This test is intended to monitor exposure to iodine and evaluate for iodine deficiency disorders.

This test measures Apo A1, a protein which is a major component in the production of HDL and the metabolism of fats. Apolipoprotein A-1 is ordered to determine hereditary or acquired Apo Ap1 deficiency that could lead to Coronary Artery Disease  

The NMR LipoProfile® test may be ordered for individuals with obesity, metabolic syndrome or diabetes, individuals who have had a myocardial infarction or who have a family history of cardiovascular disease and individuals with low HDL and high triglyceride levels. Limitations: The LDL-C and LP-IR Scores will be inaccurate if...

Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is produced exclusively by cells of the prostate gland. Used in conjunction with the digital rectal examination, PSA is a useful screening test for benign prostate enlargement, prostatitis and prostate cancer development. There are some things a man should not do before having a PSA test....

The Reverse T3 Test helps evaluate thyroid function and metabolism.

The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) blood test also called a sedimentation rate (sed rate) is the rate that red blood cells settle in a period of 1 hour. The more red cells that settle in one hour (measured in mm/h), the higher the rate. The ESR blood test has been...

SS-A and SS-B Antibodies, IgG, Serum Useful for evaluating patients with signs and symptoms of a connective tissue disease in whom the test for antinuclear antibodies is positive, especially those with signs and symptoms consistent with Sjogren's syndrome or lupus erythematosus

The T3 Uptake test is used to help evaluate thyroid function.

Thyroid Panel with TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) is a comprehensive evaluation of your thyroid hormone levels. Thyroid function is critical to your metabolism and affects your energy level heart rate weight control  and more. The thyroid-stimulating hormone is produced in the pituitary gland and stimulates the production of thyroid hormones. The TSH...

Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is produced and secreted by the pituitary gland and stimulates the thyroid gland to produce T3 and T4. When TSH is elevated, low thyroid function may be indicated. However, if TSH is low it is indicative of high thyroid function. TSH is used as a first...

Transferrin is an iron transport protein and is index of nutritional status

A free or total triiodothyronine (free T3 or total T3) test is used to assess thyroid function. It is ordered primarily to help diagnose hyperthyroidism and may be ordered to help monitor treatment of a person with a known thyroid disorder.
