Individual tests

This test helps investigate problems related to bone metabolism or parathyroid function and possible vitamin D deficiency or malabsorption before commencing specific bone treatment and to monitor patients taking vitamin D.
Calcium is an essential mineral for forming and maintaining healthy teeth and bones. It helps your muscles send messages through the nervous system, and blood vessels contract, expand, and secrete hormones and enzymes. A long-term calcium deficiency can lead to dental changes, nerve malfunction, and brittle bones.
Chloride is an electrolyte that helps control the distribution of fluid and the pH balance in your body. Chloride is often measured with other electrolytes to diagnose or monitor conditions such as heart failure and kidney or liver disease.
Electrolytes are minerals that help control the amount of fluids and the Ph balance in your body. An electrolyte panel includes: - Sodium, which helps control the body's fluids and ensures that nerves and muscles work properly. - Chloride, which also helps control the body's fluids and maintains healthy blood volume and blood pressure. - Potassium, which helps your heart and muscles work properly.
Ferritin is a protein that stores iron inside your cells. You need iron to make healthy red blood cells, and it is vital for muscles, bone marrow, organs, and brain development in children. Low ferritin levels may indicate iron deficiency anemia or another related condition. High ferritin levels can indicate there is excess iron in your body, suggesting liver disease, hyperthyroidism, or alcohol abuse.
Folic acid is a form of vitamin B9. It helps the body make healthy new cells. For women who may get pregnant, it is really important. Getting enough folic acid before and during pregnancy can prevent birth defects in your baby's brain or spine.
Iron homeostasis diseases are common and may be attributed to either iron deficiency or overload. Iron deficiency can result from increased loss or inadequate absorption of iron. Iron overload occurs when there is an excess in the binding capacity of transferrin. Iron overload may also occur during the catabolism of red cells. Iron levels are used to help diagnose specific types of anemia.
Serum iron test measures the amount of iron in the blood. Transferrin test measures transferrin, a protein that moves iron throughout the body. Total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) measures how well iron attaches to transferrin and other proteins in the blood. These tests help to detect the cause of anemia relating to iron deficiency.
Magnesium is a charged electrolyte mineral. It is responsible for many important bodily functions and processes, including ensuring your muscles, nerves, and heart work properly and controlling blood pressure and blood sugar.
Phosphorus is the second most abundant mineral in the body. It is primarily found in bones and teeth, playing a crucial role in their formation. A phosphorus deficiency may cause bone diseases, while an improper balance of phosphorus and calcium can lead to osteoporosis.
Potassium is an electrolyte that regulates your heartbeat and helps your muscles contract and nerves function. Too much potassium in your blood can damage your heart and lead to a heart attack. However, if the potassium in your blood is low, it can cause life-threatening complications, such as an irregular heartbeat or acute respiratory failure from muscle paralysis.
Sodium is an electrolyte that your body needs to function. It helps to regulate the nerves and muscles and maintains the right balance of fluids in your body. High sodium levels can lead to high blood pressure and other health problems, while low sodium levels may cause seizures, coma, and even death.
Transferrin is the main protein in the blood that binds to iron and transports it throughout the body. It may be used along with other iron tests to assess the amount of iron circulating in the blood, the total capacity of the blood to transport iron, and the amount of stored iron in the body. The test may also help differentiate between various causes of anemia.
Vitamin B12 is essential in nervous system function and DNA and red blood cell production. Vitamin B12 tests help detect anemia with larger-than-normal red blood cells or problems with the nervous system, such as emotional changes or weakness.
