Individual tests

17-OH-Progesterone test is used for screening and diagnosing Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH).
The test measures a hormone called hCG, produced during pregnancy by the placenta and found in the blood and urine. Testing for hCG can be done as early as ten days after conception to determine if you are pregnant. Measuring hCG can also help identify potential complications.
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.
This test measures the time it takes for the earlobe to stop bleeding after a vascular (blood vessel) wound is created with a blood lancet. It is performed in preoperative patients receiving anticoagulants or with suspected coagulation disorders.
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.
First-trimester screening has three parts, an ultrasound test for fetal nuchal translucency (NT), PAPP-A, and hCG. When used together, NT screening and maternal blood tests can better determine potential birth defects, such as Down syndrome, Edward syndrome, or Patau syndrome. Amniocentesis or other ultrasound procedures may also be necessary for accurate diagnosis if the results are abnormal.
Inflammation is your immune system's response to injury, infection, and certain cancers. It can also result from blood or immune system disorders. An erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a blood test that identifies inflammation in your body.
