Individual tests

Bilirubin is a substance produced when old red blood cells are broken down. It mainly exists in two forms in the blood, unconjugated or indirect bilirubin, and conjugated or direct bilirubin. Typically, your liver removes most of the substance from your body. If your liver is damaged or red blood cells are being destroyed faster than normal, excess bilirubin is released into the bloodstream, which can cause your skin and eyes to turn yellow. If jaundice is suspected, a bilirubin blood test can help determine if there is liver disease or hemolysis.
Bilirubin is a substance made during the breakdown of old red blood cells and mainly exists in two forms in the blood, unconjugated or indirect bilirubin, and conjugated or direct bilirubin. Indirect bilirubin will be converted into direct bilirubin by your liver. A blockage in the liver or bile duct is often the cause of an increase in direct bilirubin.
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.
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.
GGT is an enzyme found throughout the body, especially the liver. If your liver is damaged, GGT may leak into the bloodstream. High levels of GGT in the blood may be a sign of liver disease or damage to the bile ducts.
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.
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a bacteria that infects the digestive system. Many people with H. pylori are symptomless. However, it can cause digestive disorders, including gastritis, peptic ulcers, and certain types of stomach cancer. This test aids diagnoses of acute and chronic H. pylori infections in patients with gastric and duodenal disease. It also helps evaluate the effectiveness of treatment.
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a type of bacteria that infects the digestive system. Many people with H. pylori may have no symptoms. However, it can cause digestive disorders, including gastritis, peptic ulcers, and certain types of stomach cancer. Detection of specific IgM antibodies is evidence of a current or recent infection. A demonstration of specific IgG to the bacteria is evidence of past infection.

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.
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.
Lipase is a digestive enzyme that helps your body digest fats. It is mostly produced by the pancreas, which, if damaged, will release larger amounts of lipase. High levels in your blood may indicate pancreatitis or another pancreatic disease. A lipase test can help diagnose these conditions and others.
