Individual tests

17-OH-Progesterone test is used for screening and diagnosing Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH).
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.
The test measures a hormone called hCG, produced during pregnancy by the placenta and found in the blood and urine. Testing for hCG can be done as early as ten days after conception to determine if you are pregnant. Measuring hCG can also help identify potential complications.
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.
First-trimester screening has three parts, an ultrasound test for fetal nuchal translucency (NT), PAPP-A, and hCG. When used together, NT screening and maternal blood tests can better determine potential birth defects, such as Down syndrome, Edward syndrome, or Patau syndrome. Amniocentesis or other ultrasound procedures may also be necessary for accurate diagnosis if the results are abnormal.
HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol is seen as “good” cholesterol because it helps absorb cholesterol in the blood and carries it back to the liver. The liver then flushes it from the body. High HDL cholesterol levels mean you have a lower risk of heart disease and stroke.
Homocysteine is an amino acid that your body uses to make proteins. Normally, vitamin B12, B6, and folic acid (also called folate or vitamin B9) quickly break down homocysteine and change it into other substances your body needs. High levels of homocysteine in your blood may indicate that this process isn't working properly or that you lack certain B vitamins. This test can suggest vitamin B6, B12, and folic acid deficiency, or assess risk factors for heart disease and stroke.
HPV is short for human papillomavirus, a very common sexually transmitted infection divided into different types, each identified with a number. HPV types including 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, and 68 are high-risk types known to significantly increase the risk of cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancer in women, as well as penile cancer in men. These types can also cause anal cancer and throat cancers in men and women.
HPV is short for human papillomavirus, a very common sexually transmitted infection divided into different types, each identified with a number. High-risk HPVs (HPV 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, and 68) can cause several types of cancer. Two of these, HPV16 and HPV18, are responsible for most HPV-related cancers. Low-risk HPVs are mostly asymptomatic. Sometimes, they may cause warts on or around the genitals, anus, mouth, or throat.
