Individual tests

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.
A blood alcohol test may be used for many purposes, including legal evidence, testing for alcohol poisoning, or monitoring treatment for alcohol abuse. This test also helps identify the cause of an unknown coma since alcohol intoxication can mimic a diabetic coma, cerebral trauma, or drug overdose.
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.
Morphine is a substance that has analgesic properties but also causes sedation, euphoria, respiratory depression, and orthostatic hypotension. Chronic use can lead to tolerance and dependence. Clinical monitoring of compliance or illegal use measures these analytes.
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.
Troponin-I is a protein found in your heart muscles. When these muscles become damaged, troponin is released into the bloodstream. High levels of troponin in the blood may mean you are having or recently had a heart attack. Quick diagnosis and treatment can save your life.
Troponin-T is a protein found in your heart muscles. When the muscles become damaged, troponin is sent into the bloodstream. High levels of troponin in the blood may mean you are having or recently had a heart attack which happens when blood flow to the heart gets blocked. This blockage can be deadly. However, quick diagnosis and treatment can save your life.
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein from your liver. Typically, you have low levels in your blood. The high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) test can detect CRP at lower levels than standard tests. This assesses heart disease and stroke risk in individuals suspected to be at risk of disease.
Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) is an enzyme which plays an important role in making your body's energy. It is found in almost all the body's tissue, including those in the blood, heart, kidneys, brain, and lungs. When these tissues are damaged, they release LDH into the bloodstream or other body fluids. If your LDH blood or fluid levels are high, it may mean certain tissues in your body have been damaged by disease or injury.
LDL stands for low-density lipoproteins. It is sometimes called "bad" cholesterol because high levels cause a buildup in your arteries. Over time, the plaque hardens, narrowing your arteries. This limits the flow of oxygen-rich blood, which is why a high level of LDL cholesterol is a risk factor for vascular and heart diseases.
