This test for diabetes screening and monitoring of treatment effectiveness measures the average glucose attached to Hemoglobin in blood over 120 days.
Hepatitis B is a liver inflammation caused by the type B virus and is one of the most common causes of cirrhosis in Viet Nam. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is a protein that appears in the blood when you have a hepatitis B infection.
Hepatitis B is a liver inflammation caused by the type B virus and is one of the most common causes of cirrhosis in Viet Nam. HBsAb is a protein your immune system produces to fight against the hepatitis B virus. The presence of anti-HBs is generally interpreted as indicating recovery and immunity from hepatitis B virus infection. Anti-HBs also develop in a person successfully vaccinated against hepatitis B.
ALT is an enzyme produced mainly by the liver. When liver cells are damaged, they release ALT into the bloodstream. Therefore, high levels of ALT in your blood may indicate liver injury or disease.
AST (aspartate aminotransferase) is an enzyme that is found mostly in the liver, but also in muscles and other organs in your body. When cells that contain AST are damaged, they release it into your blood. Therefore, while a high AST level may be a sign of liver damage, it could also possibly be from other organs that contain the enzyme.
The test measures a hormone called hCG, produced during pregnancy by the placenta and found in the blood and urine. Testing for hCG can be done as early as ten days after conception to determine if you are pregnant. Measuring hCG can also help identify potential complications.
AFP is a type of tumor marker produced by cancer cells or normal cells in response to cancer. High levels of AFP can indicate cancer of the liver, ovaries, or testicles. However, other non-cancerous conditions can also increase AFP levels, so this test alone can't fully diagnose cancer.
Uric acid is a chemical created when the body breaks down substances called purines. Purines are a product of protein transformation in your body. Elevated uric acid levels in your blood may lead to gout.
Creatinine is a waste product your muscles produce as part of everyday activities. Normally, your kidneys filter creatinine from your blood and send it out of the body in your urine. If there is a kidney problem, creatinine can build up in the blood, and less will be released in urine.
HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. It weakens a person’s immune system by destroying important cells that fight disease and infection. There is currently no effective cure for HIV. However, with proper medical care, the condition can be controlled. When people with HIV do not get treatment, they typically progress through three stages. Stage 1, the most contagious phase, involves acute infection with flu-like symptoms. Stage 2 is a chronic infection with no symptoms, but HIV is still transmissible at this stage. Stage 3 is Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), the most severe stage of HIV infection, with an increasing number of opportunistic infections or other serious illnesses.
PCR (Polymerase chain reaction) test is performed by Real Time technique or RT-PCR for short. In this technique, throat swabs are taken to analyze genetic material and detect the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Real-time RT-PCR testing is currently the most common and accurate method for determining whether a person has the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Individual tests

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.
Second-trimester prenatal screening includes several blood tests that assess the risk of having a baby with certain genetic conditions or birth defects. Screening is usually done between the 14th and 22nd weeks of pregnancy (the 16th to 18th is ideal). A triple test includes AFP, hCG, and Estriol. Any abnormal result requires more testing. Usually, an ultrasound, or even an amniocentesis, may be needed for an accurate diagnosis.
TSH stands for thyroid stimulating hormone. The thyroid is a small gland in the front of your neck, controlled by the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland makes TSH to control the production of thyroid hormones. When the thyroid hormone levels in your blood are too low, your pituitary gland produces larger amounts of TSH to tell your thyroid to work harder.
The TRAb or TSH receptor antibody measures the ability of antibodies to inhibit TSH binding to their receptor. TSH is a pituitary gland hormone that stimulates the thyroid hormone's release into the blood. Measurement of TRAb is used to diagnose and manage Graves' disease, neonatal hypothyroidism, and postpartum thyroid dysfunction.
TSIs are antibodies that tell the thyroid gland to release excess amounts of thyroid hormone into the blood. High levels of TSI in the blood can indicate Graves’ disease. This autoimmune disease affects the thyroid gland and causes hyperthyroidism (an excess of thyroid hormone leading to several abnormal metabolisms in your body).
