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.
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.
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.
