Blood tests
Routine Screening
Biochemistry
Biochemistry
The biochemical profile is a series of blood tests used to evaluate the functional capacity of several critical organs and systems, such as the liver and kidneys.
Diabetes: level of glucose (blood sugar)
Renal function: urea, creatinine, uric acid, phosphorus
Gout: uric acid
Bone health, parathyroid gland function, vitamin D status: calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase (ALP)
Risk of cardiovascular disease: cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, apolipoprotein B (if triglyceride level is too high)
Liver and bile duct function: total bilirubin, ALP, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), albumin
Blood group
Folate (folic acid)
Folate (folic acid)
The folate blood test checks for levels of folate in your blood and red blood cells. Low folate can prevent your red blood cells from developing normally and can cause nerve damage
The urine sample will test for both of the sexual transmitted disease and outline them in the report
Full blood count
Full blood count
A full blood count (FBC) is a common blood test that can provide information about a range of conditions. A full blood count looks at the different cells in your blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.
Helicobacter Pylori (Stool)
Helicobacter Pylori (Stool)
The stool sample identify H. pylori infection, they are typically related to gastritis or a peptic ulcer and may include:
- An ache or burning pain in your stomach (abdomen)
- Stomach pain that may be worse when your stomach is empty.
- Nausea.
- Loss of appetite.
- Frequent burping.
- Bloating.
Lipid Profile
Lipid Profile
The test measures the amount of cholesterol and other fats in your blood. Cholesterol and triglycerides are lipids, or fats. These fats are important for cell health, but they can be harmful when they build up in the blood.
Liver Function
Liver Function
Liver function tests check the levels of certain enzymes and proteins in your blood. Levels that are higher or lower than usual can mean liver problems.
Parathyroid Hormone
Parathyroid Hormone
This test measures the level of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in your blood. PTH, is made by your parathyroid glands. They are four pea-sized glands in your neck.
Rheumatoid Arthritis Factor
Rheumatoid Arthritis Factor
This blood test checks for anti-CCP antibodies, which appear in many people with rheumatoid arthritis. In addition, anti-CCP can appear before RA symptoms develop, which can help doctors diagnose the disease early.
Thyroid Function
Thyroid Function
The test looks at levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroxine (T4) in the blood. A high level of TSH and a low level of T4 in the blood could mean you have an underactive thyroid.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12
These tests check: whether you have a lower level of haemoglobin (a substance that transports oxygen) than normal. whether your red blood cells are larger than normal. the level of vitamin B12 in your blood.
Hormone and Tumour markers
DHEA Sulphate
DHEA Sulphate
DHEAS tests to measure levels of a steroid hormone that your body converts into estrogen and androgens (testosterone). A high test result may indicate an adrenal tumor or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Follicle-stimulating hormone
Follicle-stimulating hormone
The test is used to help diagnose or evaluate;
Menopause. Women who have polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian cysts.
Abnormal vaginal or menstrual bleeding.
Problems becoming pregnant, or infertility.
Prostate analysis profile
Prostate analysis profile
A prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test is a blood test that measures the level of PSA in a sample of your blood. PSA is a protein made by your prostate. The prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system. It lies just below the bladder. It makes the fluid part of semen.
It's normal to have a low level of PSA in your blood. A high PSA level may be caused by:
- Prostate cancer
- An enlarged prostate (BPH) (benign prostatic hyperplasia)
Testostrone
Testostrone
A testosterone levels test measures the amount of testosterone in a sample of your blood. Testosterone is known as a "male" sex hormone, but females have testosterone in smaller amounts.
Symptoms;
- Low sex drive
- Fatigue
- loss of hair
- no motivation or energy
Progesterone
Progesterone
A progesterone test can help show whether low progesterone levels are causing female infertility (problems getting pregnant after a year of trying) or problems during pregnancy. The test may also help diagnose certain problems with the adrenal glands that may cause high levels of progesterone in both females and males.
SHBG
SHBG
An SHBG test is usually done if you have signs and/or symptoms of having too much or too little of the sex hormone testosterone. Testosterone is known as a "male" sex hormone, but females have testosterone in smaller amounts. In adult males, testosterone controls sex drive, maintains muscle mass, and helps make sperm.
Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH)
Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH)
LDH is found in many of the body's tissues and organs, including the muscles, liver, heart, pancreas, kidneys, brain and blood cells. The LDH test is mainly used to help identify the location and severity of tissue damage in the body.
Oestradiol
Oestradiol
The main function of an oestradiol test is to diagnose the cause of the absence of periods (amenorrhoea), usually menopause or pregnancy, testicular dysfunction, gonadal dysgenesis and monitoring Hormone Replacement Therapy.
