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.
First-trimester screening has three parts, an ultrasound test for fetal nuchal translucency (NT), PAPP-A, and hCG. When used together, NT screening and maternal blood tests can better determine potential birth defects, such as Down syndrome, Edward syndrome, or Patau syndrome. Amniocentesis or other ultrasound procedures may also be necessary for accurate diagnosis if the results are abnormal.
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.

HPV is short for human papillomavirus, a very common sexually transmitted infection divided into different types, each identified with a number. HPV types including 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, and 68 are high-risk types known to significantly increase the risk of cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancer in women, as well as penile cancer in men. These types can also cause anal cancer and throat cancers in men and women.
HPV is short for human papillomavirus, a very common sexually transmitted infection divided into different types, each identified with a number. High-risk HPVs (HPV 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, and 68) can cause several types of cancer. Two of these, HPV16 and HPV18, are responsible for most HPV-related cancers. Low-risk HPVs are mostly asymptomatic. Sometimes, they may cause warts on or around the genitals, anus, mouth, or throat.
