Follicle Stimulating Hormones - Parameters: 1

Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is a vital pituitary hormone essential for reproductive health in both genders. In women, FSH stimulates follicle development in the ovaries and regulates menstrual cycles, while in men, it supports sperm production in the testes. Fluctuations in FSH levels are integral to fertility and reproductive function. Our laboratory offers precise FSH testing, aiding in diagnosing and managing reproductive disorders effectively.

Free Thyroxine - Parameters: 1

The primary thyroid hormone that the thyroid gland secretes into the bloodstream is called thyroxine (T4). In conjunction with triiodothyronine (T3), it is essential for controlling the body's metabolic rate, as well as growth, bone metabolism, cardiovascular health, and the proper development of the brain system and gonadal organs. In the bloodstream, T4 is a balanced combination of free and serum-bound hormone. The unbound, physiologically active version of T4 is called free T4 (fT4). One benefit of measuring free T4 is that it remains unaffected by variations in the quantities and characteristics of these binding proteins. In clinical routine diagnostics, free T4 is a helpful tool for determining the thyroid health. If thyroid issues are suspected, it should be examined along with TSH. It can also be used to track the effects of thyrosuppressive medication.

Glucose - Parameters: 1

The primary carbohydrate found in peripheral blood is glucose. The body's primary source of cellular energy is the oxidation of glucose. Dietary glucose is transformed into either fatty acids or glycogen, which are then stored in the liver and adipose tissue, respectively. Many hormones, the most significant of which are generated by the pancreas, regulate blood glucose content within precise bounds. Hyperglycemia is most commonly caused by diabetes mellitus, which is a lack of insulin secretion or activity. Elevated blood glucose is also caused by a number of secondary causes. Pancreatitis, thyroid issues, kidney failure, and liver illness are a few of these. Hypoglycemia is not as commonly seen. Low blood glucose levels can result from a number of disorders, including insulinoma, hypopituitarism, and insulin-induced hypoglycemia. Diabetes mellitus and idiopathic hypoglycemia are two illnesses of carbohydrate metabolism that are treated and diagnosed using glucose levels. Measuring the amount of glucose in urine can help in diabetes management, evaluation of glucosuria, detection of renal tubular abnormalities, and diabetes screening.

Insulin - Parameters: 1

The molecular weight of insulin, a peptide hormone, is roughly 6000 daltons. The pancreatic B-cells secrete it, and the portal vein and liver let it to enter the bloodstream. Insulin's hypoglycemic impact stems from its mediated action through particular receptors, which mainly facilitate the uptake of sugar by the liver, adipose tissue, and muscle cells. The majority of individuals who have serum insulin readings have hypoglycemic symptoms. They are employed in the determination of glucose/insulin quotients and in the elucidation of inquiries pertaining to insulin secretion, such as in the glucagon and tolbutamide tests, as well as in the assessment of oral glucose tolerance tests and hunger provocation tests.

Luteinizing Hormones - Parameters: 1

Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a crucial pituitary hormone involved in regulating reproductive functions in both males and females. In women, LH surge triggers ovulation and helps regulate menstrual cycles, while in men, it stimulates testosterone production. LH levels fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle and are essential for fertility. Our laboratory provides accurate LH testing, aiding in diagnosing and managing reproductive disorders.

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin - Parameters: 1

Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is the protein responsible for blood transport. Reversibly, SHBG binds to sexual steroids. Although it does so with a much lower binding affinity than SHBG, albumin, which is present in much higher concentrations, can also bind sexual hormones. When androgen levels are normal but clinical symptoms seem to point to an excess of androgen, measurement of SHBG can be a useful sign of an excessive/chronic androgenic activity. When there is a suspicion of a reasonably high concentration of free androgen (such as testosterone), SHBG is a helpful supplemental parameter in the androgen determination process.

Testosterone - Parameters: 1

Testosterone keeps the prostate and seminal vesicles functioning normally and encourages the development of secondary sex traits in men. Small amounts of testosterone are produced in the ovaries of women. There are no particular effects of androgens on women at physiological amounts. Depending on the degree of the increase, women who produce more testosterone may become more virulent. The measurement of testosterone in females aids in the identification of polycystic ovaries (Stein-Leventhal syndrome), androgenic syndrome (AGS), ovarian tumours, adrenal tumours, adrenal hyperplasia, and ovarian insufficiency.

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone - Parameters: 1

Thyrotropin, also known as thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), is a glycoprotein made up of two subunits and with a molecular weight of about 30,000 daltons. TSH has a diurnal secretion sequence and is produced in particular basophil cells of the anterior pituitary. The primary regulatory mechanism for the biological action of thyroid hormones is the hypophyseal release of thyrotropic hormone (TSH). TSH has a proliferative effect in addition to boosting thyroid hormone production and secretion at all stages. The first test in thyroid diagnostics is the measurement of TSH. The TSH level responds significantly more strongly to even minute variations in the free thyroid hormone concentrations. As a result, TSH is an extremely sensitive and precise metric for evaluating thyroid function. It is especially well-suited for the early identification or rule-out of illnesses affecting the major regulatory circuit that connects the thyroid, pituitary, and brain.
