Individual tests

Copper is an essential mineral that the body incorporates into enzymes. These enzymes play a role in the regulation of iron metabolism, the formation of connective tissue, energy production within cells, and the function of the nervous system. The test helps diagnose and monitor Wilson disease, sometimes identifying a copper deficiency or excess.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a protein that helps regulate immune responses, which makes the IL-6 test potentially useful as a marker of immune system activation. This test may be used to help evaluate a person who has a condition associated with inflammation, such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or with infections like sepsis.
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.
