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.
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.
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.
Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is one of the most common causes of liver inflammation. When first infected with HAV, your immune system produces IgM antibodies, which appear in your blood 5 to 10 days before symptoms appear. They can stay in your blood for about six months after infection, with IgG antibodies remaining for life.
Hepatitis A virus is one of the most common causes of liver inflammation. Your immune system makes antibodies when you are first infected with HAV. IgM Antibodies often begin to appear in the blood 5 to 10 days before symptoms appear. They can stay in your blood for about six months after the infection. Some antibodies called IgG can last in your blood for life.
Hepatitis A is commonly spread by eating or drinking contaminated food or water. This may happen if an infected person doesn't wash their hands after using the bathroom. Most people recover from hepatitis A without lasting liver damage. This test detects the presence of HAV antibodies, which indicate prior or acute infection with, or immunization to, the hepatitis A virus.
The Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a common cause of liver inflammation. Your immune system makes IgM antibodies against HBV that appear in your blood several weeks after infection. People with the hepatitis B vaccine will not have this antibody in their blood. The test determines whether you are actively infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV).
