Individual tests

A blood type can be classified into four common groups known as the ABO system: A, B, AB, or O. A second system, the Rh system, determines if the blood type is Rh-positive or -negative. Blood typing is a common test before blood transfusions, tissue transplants, and during pregnancy.
Our bones are continually being remodeled in a two-step process: the “breakdown” of bone (resorption) and the replacement of the removed bone (formation). In osteoporosis, the bones are weakened because the breakdown occurs faster than the rebuilding. When bone is resorbed, fragments of the bone collagen are released into the bloodstream. One of these fragments is called “C-telopeptide.” This test helps assess the loss of bone mass in cases of osteoporosis or other bone diseases such as Paget’s disease.
A blood type can be classified into four common groups known as the ABO system: A, B, AB, or O. A second system, the Rh system, determines if the blood type is Rh-positive or negative. The ABO type and an Rh test from cord blood determine the newborn's RH and blood type.
Chlamydia is a common STD among both men and women. It can damage a woman’s reproductive system, making it difficult or impossible to get pregnant. Chlamydia can also cause a pregnancy to occur outside the womb or the infection to pass to your baby during delivery, causing an eye infection or pneumonia in your newborn. You should receive testing for chlamydia at your first prenatal visit. A positive result of Chlamydia trachomatis IgG indicates past, current, or chronic infection, while positive IgM antibodies indicate recent infection.
