Creatinine phosphokinase (CPK), also called Creatinine Kinase (CK), is used to detect damage in brain, heart and skeletal muscle tissues.

This test is used to diagnose kidney disease and other conditions affecting the kidneys.

GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate) is used as an indicator of renal function. Estimated GFR (eGFR) is mathematically derived based on a patient’s serum creatinine level, age, sex and race.

Creatinine clearance test helps determine whether the kidneys are functioning normally.

Many tissues contain CK, therefore high levels of CK can be a sign of a variety of problems. Higher CK-MB may point more directly to heart damage.

Used in the diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease

C-reactive protein (CRP) is produced by the liver in response to inflammation.

A positive D-dimer result may indicate the presence of an abnormally high level of fibrin degradation products. It indicates that there may be significant blood clot (thrombus) formation and breakdown in the body

This test is used in the diagnosis and treatment of liver, hemolytic, hematological and metabolic disorders.

This test is used in the diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases

This test is used in the diagnosis of liver and kidney disease

Homocysteine is used to detect a deficiency of vitamin B12, B6, or folic acid. It is also used in the diagnosis of homocystinuria and the treatment and diagnosis of heart disease.

The hsCRP test is a highly sensitive quantification of CRP, an acute-phase protein released into the blood by the liver during inflammation, which has been associated with the presence of heart disease.

This test is used for the detection or monitoring of IgA monoclonal gammopathies and IgA-related immune deficiencies.

IgG is widespread in the body. It provides long-lasting defense against most bacterial invasions and other antigens

IgM found in blood and is involved in combating blood infections. It is the first or primary immunoglobulin produced following exposure to an antigen.

This blood test is used in the diagnosis and treatment of liver, hemolytic, hematological and metabolic disorders.

The primary purpose of this test is to check whether a person has abnormally high or low levels of iron in their blood, both of which can cause serious health complications.

The lactate blood test is primarily ordered to help determine if someone has lactic acidosis, a level of lactate that is high enough to disrupt a person’s acid-base (pH) balance.

The lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) test looks for signs of damage to the body’s tissues.

LDL is commonly called ‘bad’ cholesterol. It is used as a predictor of atherosclerosis.

A lead blood test is used to screen for possible excessive exposure to lead.

Luteinizing Hormone also known as LH may be used to investigate infertility or pituitary gland problems in patients.

This test is used in the treatment and diagnosis of diseases involving the pancreas.

This test measures lithium levels in the blood to determine the therapeutic level when just starting lithium medication; to maintain the therapeutic level or to determine lithium toxicity.

Magnesium is needed for many chemical processes in the body such as maintaining normal muscle and nerve function, keeping the bones strong, normal functioning of the heart, regulating blood pressure, helping the body control blood sugar level and helps support the body’s defense (immune) system.

A mercury blood test is used to screen for possible excessive exposure to mercury.

Myoglobin is a small, oxygen-binding protein found in heart and skeletal muscles. Myoglobin is found in the bloodstream is when injury to a muscle has occurred. In particular, injury to the heart muscle.

Phosphorus is a mineral the body needs to build strong bones and teeth. It is also important for nerve signaling and muscle contraction. This test is ordered to see how much phosphorus is in your blood. Kidney, liver, and certain bone diseases can cause abnormal phosphorus levels.

This test is used in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases involving the liver, kidney and bone marrow as well as other metabolic or nutritional disorders

The rheumatoid factor test is used by health care professionals to help in diagnosing rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases.

The TIBC test evaluates how well transferrin carries iron through your blood.

This test is used in the diagnosis and treatment of liver, hemolytic, hematological and metabolic disorders.

Transferrin is a plasma protein that transports iron through the blood to the liver, spleen and bone marrow. This test may be requested for several reasons such as: to determine the cause of anemia, to examine iron metabolism (in iron deficiency anemia) and to determine the iron-carrying capacity of the blood.

Triglyceride measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases involving lipid metabolism.

Troponin tests measure the level of cardiac-specific troponin in the blood to help detect heart injury.

This test is used in the diagnosis and treatment of renal and metabolic disorders.

A microalbumin test is used to detect early signs of kidney damage in people who are at risk of developing kidney disease.

Vitamin B-12 is necessary for several bodily processes, including nerve function and the production of DNA and red blood cells.

Vitamin D levels can be used to investigate a variety of conditions such as bone disorders and nutritional problems

High levels of VLDL cholesterol have been associated with the development of plaque deposits on artery walls, which narrow the passage and restrict blood flow.
