Individual tests

This test is used to detect the infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis for the rapid diagnosis and decision of treatment with higher accuracy than traditional AFB test.
Thyroglobulin is a thyroid protein. This test is mostly used to monitor, but not to diagnose, patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancers. The measurement of thyroglobulin after thyroidectomy and ablation of the thyroid gland is useful for determining metastasis. It may also help diagnose hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, which are common non-cancer thyroid conditions.
Thyroglobulin is a protein that your thyroid produces. Antithyroglobulin antibodies can indicate thyroid gland damage caused by the immune system. They may be measured in suspected cases of thyroid inflammation. Measuring thyroglobulin antibody levels after thyroid cancer treatment can help your provider monitor recurrence.
Antibodies are immune system proteins that fight foreign substances like viruses and bacteria. Sometimes antibodies attack the body's cells, tissues, and organs by mistake, known as an autoimmune response. When thyroid antibodies attack healthy thyroid cells, it can lead to Hashimoto's or autoimmune thyroiditis. This test measures the level of thyroid antibodies in your blood.

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).
Qualitative Varicella zoster virus in blood or cerebrospinal fluid by PCR method
Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is a virus that causes chickenpox and shingles in non-immunized populations. VZV is highly infectious and is transmitted through contact with infected individuals' ruptured blisters and respiratory secretions. Immunity post-infection is usually lifelong, though the latent virus inhabits the sensory nerve ganglia, where it can reactivate, causing shingles when immunity declines with aging. Detection of specific IgM antibodies is evidence of a current or recent infection. A demonstration of specific IgG to the bacteria is evidence of past infection.
Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is a virus that causes chickenpox and shingles in non-immunized persons. VZV is highly infectious and is transmitted by contact with fluid from infected individuals' ruptured blisters or respiratory secretions. Immunity post-infection is usually lifelong though the latent virus inhabits the sensory nerve ganglia, where it can reactivate, causing shingles when immunity declines with aging. Detection of specific IgM antibodies is evidence of a current or recent infection. A demonstration of specific IgG to the bacteria is evidence of past infection.
Enteric fever, also known as typhoid fever, is a life-threatening illness caused by infection with the bacterium Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi (S. typhi). It is usually transmitted through food and drinks contaminated with fecal matter. The Widal test is one method of establishing a presumptive diagnosis of this disease.
