Individual tests

Angiostrongylus cantonensis is a parasite that can be transmitted to humans who consume raw or undercooked snails or slugs. Some people are symptomless or have only mild symptoms that don’t last very long. Sometimes the infection causes a rare type of meningitis. This test helps to diagnose Angiostrongylus infection by detecting IgG antibodies to the parasites.
The aPTT is one of several blood coagulation tests. It measures how long it takes your blood to form a clot. When one of your blood vessels is damaged, proteins called clotting factors come together to form clots and quickly stop the bleeding. The aPTT test helps assess how well those clotting factors work, often in conjunction with other tests that monitor clotting factors.
Ascaris lumbricoides is a parasite that causes disease when contaminated food containing its eggs is ingested. Infections are usually asymptomatic, especially if the number of worms is small. However, they may be accompanied by inflammation, fever, diarrhea, and other serious problems. Detection of specific IgM antibodies is evidence of a current or recent infection. A demonstration of specific IgG to the bacteria is evidence of past infection.

Our bones are continually being remodeled in a two-step process: the “breakdown” of bone (resorption) and the replacement of the removed bone (formation). In osteoporosis, the bones are weakened because the breakdown occurs faster than the rebuilding. When bone is resorbed, fragments of the bone collagen are released into the bloodstream. One of these fragments is called “C-telopeptide.” This test helps assess the loss of bone mass in cases of osteoporosis or other bone diseases such as Paget’s disease.
A blood smear is a sample spread on a glass slide and treated with a special stain. Previously, all blood smears were examined under a microscope by laboratory professionals. Now automated digital systems can help examine blood smears. A blood smear helps diagnose and monitor conditions such as blood disorders, sudden kidney failure, and certain cancer treatments.
Clonorchis is a liver fluke parasite that can also infect the gallbladder and bile duct. Humans may be infected by eating raw or undercooked fish. While often symptomless, long-term infections can result in severe illness. Detection of specific IgM antibodies provides evidence of a current or recent infection. A demonstration of specific IgG is evidence of past infection.
Clonorchis is a liver fluke parasite that can also infect the gallbladder and bile duct. Humans can become infected by eating raw or undercooked fish containing this parasite. While most persons do not show symptoms, long-lasting infections can result in serious illness. Detection of specific IgM antibodies can provide evidence of a current or recent infection. A demonstration of specific IgG is evidence of past infection.
A complete blood count is a screening test for various disease states including anemia, leukemia, and inflammatory processes. This test is analyzed based on blood from the cord.
A complete blood count is a common blood test that is often part of a routine checkup. This test can help detect a variety of disorders, including infections, anemia, immune system disease, and blood cancers.
A complete blood count is a common blood test in routine checkups. This test can help detect various disorders, including infections and anemia. A reticulocyte count measures the number of immature red blood cells (reticulocytes) in your bone marrow to find out if you are producing enough red blood cells.
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein produced by the liver. Normally, you have low levels of C-reactive protein in your blood. Your liver releases more CRP into your bloodstream if you have inflammation. High levels of CRP indicate you have a serious health condition that's causing the inflammation.
The Cysticercosis (T. solium) ELISA test is a semi-quantitative enzyme immunoassay for the detection of IgG antibodies to Cysticercosis (T. solium) in human serum or plasma samples.
The Cysticercosis (T. solium) ELISA test is a semi-quantitative enzyme immunoassay for the detection of IgM antibodies to Cysticercosis (T. solium) in human serum or plasma samples.
The direct Coombs test detects antibodies stuck to the surface of red blood cells. Many diseases and drugs can cause this to happen. These antibodies sometimes destroy red blood cells, causing anemia. Your healthcare provider may recommend this test if you have signs or symptoms of anemia or jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).
