Individual tests

Creatinine is a waste product your muscles produce as part of regular, everyday activities. Normally, your kidneys filter creatinine from your blood and send it out of the body in your urine. If there is a kidney problem, creatinine can build up in the blood, and less will be released in urine.

Creatinine is a waste byproduct of normal muscle activity. The kidneys remove creatinine from the blood and it is then excreted through urine. A creatinine clearance test assesses how well the kidneys filter blood and is important for detecting and monitoring kidney problems.
The creatinine clearance test helps assess how well the kidneys are working. This test compares creatinine levels in urine and blood.
Your kidneys have tiny filters called glomeruli which remove waste and excess fluid from blood. A glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a blood test that checks how well your kidneys work by estimating how much blood passes through these filters each minute.
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.
When food is ingested, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose molecules. Glucose provides energy for cellular processes and aids metabolism within the body. When an individual is hyperglycemic and cannot properly regulate their blood glucose level, they are considered diabetic. A 2-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.

This test for diabetes screening and monitoring of treatment effectiveness measures the average glucose attached to Hemoglobin in blood over 120 days.
The homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) test is a tool used to estimate Insulin resistance from fasting blood Glucose and Insulin concentrations. Insulin resistance is the condition where the body's cells become less responsive to the effects of Insulin.
Insulin is a hormone that helps move blood sugar (glucose) from your bloodstream into cells. It plays a crucial role in maintaining glucose levels. An insulin-in-blood test is often used to determine the cause of low blood sugar, diagnose or monitor insulin resistance, find a type of pancreas tumor called insulinoma, or identify when a type 2 diabetic might need to start taking insulin to supplement oral medications.
The microalbumin test helps find small amounts of albumin that normal urinary tests can not detect. Microalbumin tests can detect kidney damage early.
