VLDL CHOLESTEROL
Sample Serum
Container Serum container
Turn-Around-Time 2 Hours
Description
VLDL is a type of lipoprotein that is responsible for transporting triglycerides, a type of fat, from the liver to various tissues in the body. Elevated VLDL cholesterol levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. VLDL is a precursor to LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, often referred to as "bad cholesterol."VLDL cholesterol testing is often part of a comprehensive lipid profile.

Description
17-OHP is a steroid hormone that is a precursor for the production of the hormone cortisol. The test is primarily used to diagnose and monitor treatment for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), an inherited condition that results in decreased adrenal cortisol, aldosterone and increased male sex hormone (androgen). A 17-OHP test can also be used in the evaluation of adrenal insufficiency, hirsutism and infertility work up.

Container Urine container
Turn-Around-Time 3 Hours
Description
The 24-hour urine uric acid test is particularly useful in assessing conditions related to uric acid imbalance, including gout, assess the risk of kidney stone formation, kidney dysfunction, etc.
24 HOURS URINE V.M.A.*
Sample 24 Hour Urine
Container Urine container
Turn-Around-Time 24 Hours
Description
VMA is of value for evaluation of hypertension, diagnosis and follow up of neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroma, and ganglio neuroblastoma. Most neuroblastoma patients excrete excess VMA in 24-hour collections.
24 HR URINE POTASSIUM*
Sample 24 Hour Urine
Container Urine container
Turn-Around-Time 3 Hours
Description
Potassium is an essential electrolyte that plays a vital role in various bodily functions, including muscle contractions, nerve impulses, fluid balance, and maintaining proper heart rhythm. Monitoring urine potassium levels can provide insights into the body's potassium balance and kidney function.
PROCALCITONIN
Sample Serum
Container Serum container
Turn-Around-Time 4 Hours
Description
PCT is a biomarker elevated in systemic bacterial infections, including sepsis and septic shock.It is more specific than CRP or other inflammatory markers.
Aids in early detection, severity grading, and treatment guidance for infections.
NT-proBNP
Sample Serum/Plasma
Container Serum container/EDTA container
Turn-Around-Time 4 Hours
Description
Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome in which the heart ability to pump blood is inadequate to meet the metabolic needs of the body. Elevated levels of NT-proBNP is associated with ventricular dysfunction and severity of heart failure.NT-proBNP also detects mild HF and HF with preserved ejection fraction
LKM 1
Sample Serum
Container Serum container
Turn-Around-Time 24 hour
Description
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is chronic liver disease that results from a loss of immune system tolerance and associated with the production of diverse autoantibodies .
Liver kidney microsome type 1 (anti-LKM-1) antibodies are autoantibodies, produced by the body’s immune system that recognize and target its own enzyme called cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6), a protein found primarily in liver cells. The development of anti-LKM-1 antibodies is strongly associated with type 2 autoimmune hepatitis. This test provides a quantitative assay for LKM 1 Antibodie
HOMA IR
Sample Serum/Sodium Flouride Plasma
Container Serum container/Flouride container
Turn-Around-Time 3 hour
Description
Insulin resistance (IR) is a condition associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Clinically, insulin resistance is known as metabolic syndrome (MS).
A simpler method that can be used as surrogate marker for IR is the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). HOMA-IR is a model of the relationship between glucose and insulin dynamics under fasting conditions simplified by a formula.
Early detection of HOMA IR is a fast, inexpensive, noninvasive method that helps in preventing or delaying onset of type 2 diabetes and monitoring metabolic health.
FECAL CALPROTECTIN
Sample Stool
Container Air tight container
Turn-Around-Time 4 days
Description
This test quantitatively measures the neutrophilic protein calprotectin in stool sample. Calprotectin is a calcium- and zinc-binding protein of the S-100 protein family which is mainly found in neutrophils .Its presence in faeces is a consequence of neutrophil migration into the gastrointestinal tissue due to an inflammatory process.
The concentration of Calprotectin in stool reflects the number of neutrophils present and indicates severity of intestinal inflammation and helps in monitoring disease activity.
