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.
AFP is a type of tumor marker produced by cancer cells or normal cells in response to cancer. High levels of AFP can indicate cancer of the liver, ovaries, or testicles. However, other non-cancerous conditions can also increase AFP levels, so this test alone can't fully diagnose cancer.
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.
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.
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.

This test helps monitor certain cancers during and after treatment and checks for recurrence. It can identify early signs of ovarian cancer in high-risk patients. Some non-cancerous conditions can increase the level of this protein, such as menstruation and uterine fibroids. Certain cancers may also cause an increased level of CA 125, including ovarian, endometrial, peritoneal, and fallopian tube cancers.
If your CA 15-3 results are elevated, additional testing is needed to diagnose breast cancer. If the elevation is minimal, you may need to watch, wait, and order a repeat test 4-6 weeks later. The CA 15-3 elevations in non-cancerous conditions tend to be stable over time. If elevation persists or increases, you may need additional testing, such as breast ultrasound, mammography, or a CT scan
The CA 19.9 quantitative test screens for abnormalities related to the pancreas and bile.
Cancer antigen CA72-4 is a tumor marker found elevated in various human malignant tumors, including ovarian, gastrointestinal (i.e., stomach, colon, and small bowel), and pancreatic cancer. It is used to manage metastatic and recurrent cancer and assess antitumor therapy response.
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a protein of the developing fetus. CEA levels gradually decrease or disappear after birth. In adults, abnormal CEA levels can indicate cancer. Smoking can also increase CEA. The test helps monitor treatment and checks for the recurrence of cancers of the colon, thyroid gland, rectum, lung, breast, liver, pancreas, stomach, and ovaries.
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.
