Individual tests

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.
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.
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.
When you eat, carbohydrates within the food are broken down into glucose molecules. Glucose provides energy for cellular processes and aids metabolism. When an individual is hyperglycemic and cannot properly regulate their blood glucose level, they are considered diabetic. Type 1 diabetes is caused by the immune system attacking pancreatic beta cells (cells that produce insulin), and Type 2 diabetes is caused by insulin resistance.
When food is ingested, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose molecules. Glucose provides energy for cellular processes and aids metabolism. When an individual is hyperglycemic and cannot regulate their blood glucose level, they are considered diabetic. A 1-hour postprandial blood sugar test helps assess blood glucose regulation.

Glucose is a sugar your body produces when it digests carbohydrates and is the chief energy source for living organisms. Too much or too little glucose in the blood can indicate a serious medical condition. High blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia) may be a sign of diabetes, a chronic disease with many possible complications. Low blood sugar can lead to major health problems, including brain damage and seizures.

Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is one of the most common causes of liver inflammation. When first infected with HAV, your immune system produces IgM antibodies, which appear in your blood 5 to 10 days before symptoms appear. They can stay in your blood for about six months after infection, with IgG antibodies remaining for life.
Hepatitis A virus is one of the most common causes of liver inflammation. Your immune system makes antibodies when you are first infected with HAV. IgM Antibodies often begin to appear in the blood 5 to 10 days before symptoms appear. They can stay in your blood for about six months after the infection. Some antibodies called IgG can last in your blood for life.
Hepatitis A is commonly spread by eating or drinking contaminated food or water. This may happen if an infected person doesn't wash their hands after using the bathroom. Most people recover from hepatitis A without lasting liver damage. This test detects the presence of HAV antibodies, which indicate prior or acute infection with, or immunization to, the hepatitis A virus.
This test for diabetes screening and monitoring of treatment effectiveness measures the average glucose attached to Hemoglobin in blood over 120 days.
The Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a common cause of liver inflammation. Your immune system makes IgM antibodies against HBV that appear in your blood several weeks after infection. People with the hepatitis B vaccine will not have this antibody in their blood. The test determines whether you are actively infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV).
The quantitative test of hepatitis B core antibody level distinguishes cases of hepatitis antibodies from vaccination with those with a history of cured acute hepatitis B. This test can also be used with other hepatitis immunological indicators to evaluate treatment effectiveness in hepatitis B patients.
The hepatitis B virus (HBV) is one of the major causes of liver inflammation. The hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) appears after an HBV infection. Usually, HBeAg indicates much higher rates of viral replication and enhanced infectivity. However, variants of the hepatitis B virus do not produce the 'e' antigen, so this rule does not always hold. The HBeAg may be cleared, and antibodies to the 'e' antigen (anti-HBe) will arise immediately afterward, suggesting a dramatic decline in viral replication.
