Individual tests

ACTH is a pituitary gland hormone that controls cortisol production. Cortisol, an adrenal gland hormone helps you respond to stress, fight infection, and regulate blood sugar and blood pressure. The test is often done with a cortisol test to diagnose pituitary or adrenal gland disorders.
An AMH test checks a woman's ability to produce eggs for fertilization, known as the ovarian reserve. It can also determine the reasons for menopause, amenorrhea, or lack of menstruation and help diagnose polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It can help check infants with genitals not identified as male or female and monitor women with certain types of ovarian cancer.
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.
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.
A blood type can be classified into four common groups known as the ABO system: A, B, AB, or O. A second system, the Rh system, determines if the blood type is Rh-positive or -negative. Blood typing is a common test before blood transfusions, tissue transplants, and during pregnancy.
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 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 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.
Cortisol is a hormone made by your adrenal glands, two small glands that sit above the kidneys. It affects almost every organ and tissue in your body that help respond to stress, reduce inflammation, regulate blood sugar, or control blood pressure.

DHEAS is important in testosterone and estrogen production. It plays a role in the development of male sexual characteristics at puberty. DHEAS is mostly made in the adrenal glands. Smaller amounts of DHEAS are made in a man’s testicles and a woman’s ovaries. Abnormal DHEAS levels may suggest a problem with your adrenal glands, testicles, or ovaries.
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).
Estradiol, the most important form of estrogen, plays a vital role in sexual development. This test is used to determine the cause of early or late puberty, evaluate how the ovaries function, and monitor the progression of pregnancy or fertility treatment.
Testosterone is known as a "male" sex hormone, but females also have smaller amounts. It causes body hair, muscle growth, and a deepening voice after puberty in males. It controls sex drive, muscle mass, and helps make sperm. In females, testosterone is important for the growth of bones and muscles. A free testosterone levels test can help diagnose early or delayed puberty.
