Individual tests

This test determines whether or not you have adequate apo A-I levels, diagnosing specific apo A deficiency and helping assess your risk of developing coronary heart disease.
Apolipoprotein B (or Apo B, for short) is a protein that helps carry fat and cholesterol through your body. Your body needs fat and cholesterol to produce hormones and keep cells healthy. As they don't dissolve well in the blood, they may cause plaque buildup in your blood vessels, possibly leading to heart disease.
Apolipoprotein B/Apolipoprotein A-1 ratio is an index reflecting the balance between atherogenic lipoprotein particles and anti-atherogenic lipoprotein particles. When this balance is disrupted, atherosclerosis progresses, leading to stroke. Additionally, the ApoB/ApoA-1 ratio is also a strong predictor of cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction, angina, and heart failure, compared to conventional lipid tests like total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol, and HDL-cholesterol.
Creatine kinase (CK) is an enzyme that occurs naturally in your muscle cells, while CK-MB mainly occurs in your heart's muscle cells. Damage to heart muscle cells causes CK-MB to leak into your blood. This test helps detect how much CK-MB enzyme is in your blood. If there’s more CK-MB in your blood than there should be, it can be a sign you’ve had a heart attack.
Creatine Kinase is an enzyme found in heart, brain, and skeletal muscle. This test detects muscle inflammation or damage due to muscle disorders.
D-dimer is a protein fragment produced when a blood clot dissolves in your body. Blood clots prevent you from losing too much blood when injured. Normally, your body will dissolve the clot once your injury heals. With a clotting disorder, clots form when you aren't injured or don't dissolve when they should. These conditions are serious and potentially life-threatening. A D-dimer test can show if you have one of these conditions.
The fecal occult blood test (FOBT) checks stool samples for hidden (occult) blood. Occult blood in the stool may indicate colon cancer or polyps in the colon or rectum — though not all cancers or polyps bleed. If blood is detected through a fecal occult blood test, additional tests such as a colonoscopy may help determine the source of the bleeding. The fecal occult blood test can only detect the presence or absence of blood — it can't determine what's causing the bleeding.
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.
