Individual tests

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.
When you eat, carbohydrates within the food are broken down into glucose molecules. Glucose provides energy for cellular processes and aids metabolism. When an individual is hyperglycemic and cannot properly regulate their blood glucose level, they are considered diabetic. Type 1 diabetes is caused by the immune system attacking pancreatic beta cells (cells that produce insulin), and Type 2 diabetes is caused by insulin resistance.
When food is ingested, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose molecules. Glucose provides energy for cellular processes and aids metabolism. When an individual is hyperglycemic and cannot regulate their blood glucose level, they are considered diabetic. A 1-hour postprandial blood sugar test helps assess blood glucose regulation.

Glucose is a sugar your body produces when it digests carbohydrates and is the chief energy source for living organisms. Too much or too little glucose in the blood can indicate a serious medical condition. High blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia) may be a sign of diabetes, a chronic disease with many possible complications. Low blood sugar can lead to major health problems, including brain damage and seizures.

This test for diabetes screening and monitoring of treatment effectiveness measures the average glucose attached to Hemoglobin in blood over 120 days.
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.
The homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) test is a tool used to estimate Insulin resistance from fasting blood Glucose and Insulin concentrations. Insulin resistance is the condition where the body's cells become less responsive to the effects of Insulin.
Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is mainly found in saliva, tears, respiratory and gastric secretions, and breast milk. IgA protects against infection in the respiratory tract (sinus and lungs) and the gastrointestinal tract (stomach and intestines). This test checks your immune system for disorders if you are often sick with infections or diarrhea and can help detect certain types of cancer.
