Individual tests

Phosphorus is the second most abundant mineral in the body. The main function of phosphorus is in the formation of bones and teeth. High levels of phosphorus can be seen in hypoparathyroidism, bone metastases, and hypervitaminosis D. Low phosphorus is usually found when using some medications such as antacids, diuretics, or in cases of hyperparathyroidism.
Potassium is an electrolyte that regulates heartbeat, helps muscles contract, and nerves function. Too much potassium in your blood can damage your heart and lead to a heart attack. If your blood potassium is low, it can cause life-threatening complications, such as an irregular heartbeat or acute respiratory failure from muscle paralysis.
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.
Sodium is an electrolyte that helps control the pH balance in your body. It also helps nerves and muscles work properly. Abnormal sodium blood levels may suggest a kidney problem, dehydration, or other medical conditions. This test helps monitor conditions affecting your body's balance of fluids, electrolytes, and acidity.
Cholesterol is a substance found throughout the body. Your body needs some cholesterol to work properly, but too much will block your arteries and lead to heart disease and stroke.
Protein is an essential part of cells and tissue, with two main protein types: 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.
Protein, an essential part of cells and tissue, exists in two main classes: albumin and globulin. Albumin helps prevent fluid from leaking out of blood vessels, while globulins are important for your immune system. High protein levels burden your kidneys, liver, and bones and potentially increase your risk of heart disease and cancer. A lack of protein can result in illness, increased infections, and reduced muscle mass.
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.
Triglycerides are a common type of fat that comes from food and consuming extra calories. Your body changes these excess calories into triglycerides and stores them in fat cells. When your body needs energy, it releases triglycerides. Very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol particles carry the triglycerides to your tissues. Having a high level of triglycerides can raise your risk of heart disease.
Urea nitrogen is the chief nitrogenous end product from your body's breakdown of proteins. It is a waste product your kidneys remove from the blood. An elevated urea level may indicate your kidneys aren't working well.
Urea nitrogen is the chief nitrogenous end product of the breakdown of proteins in your body. It is a waste product that your kidneys remove from your blood. An elevated urea level may indicate a kidney problem.
Uric acid is a waste product from the body's breakdown of chemicals called purines. Most uric acid dissolves in your blood and is filtered out by the kidneys through urine. A uric acid blood test can help monitor people undergoing chemotherapy or certain other cancer treatments. It can also help diagnose gout or the cause of kidney stones.
