Individual tests

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.
Lung cancer includes small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Only about 15% of lung cancers are SCLC. Pro-GRP is sensitive to SCLC diagnosis. High marker levels are related to a high disease burden.
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin is the second most common skin cancer, characterized by abnormal, accelerated cellular growth. This cancer begins in squamous cells, found in the tissue that forms the skin's surface and the passages of the respiratory and digestive tracts. This test helps evaluate and monitor squamous cell carcinoma of the head, neck, lung, and cervix.
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.
Protein is an essential part of cells and tissue. There are two main classes of protein called albumin and globulin. Albumin helps prevent fluid from leaking out of blood vessels, while globulins are important for your immune system. High protein levels can place a burden on your kidneys, liver, and bones, as well as potentially increase your risk of heart disease and cancer. A lack of protein can produce several symptoms, including illness, increased infections, and reduced muscle mass.
There are two major proteins in the blood. Albumin helps keep blood from leaking out of blood vessels and moves other important substances throughout the body, while globulins help fight infection and move nutrients throughout the body. The A/G ratio compares the amount of albumin in your blood to the amount of globulin. This test helps diagnose kidney disease, liver disease, or nutritional problems.
PSA is a protein made by your prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system. The test is used to screen for prostate cancer. Cancer screening means looking for signs of cancer before symptoms appear. But screening tests can't diagnose cancer. If a screening test finds signs of cancer, you'll need other tests to determine if you have cancer and how serious it may be.
