  • Alkaline phosphatase

    Alkaline phosphatase - Parameters: 1

    There are several isoenzymes of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), with the largest amounts found in the placenta, kidney, liver, and gut. Diseases of the liver, bones, intestines, and parathyroid glands are diagnosed with ALP, and treatment is monitored. ALP increases are lowest in hepatocellular disease and largest in cholestatic disease, especially in cases of obstructive jaundice and infiltrative disease. ALP is also higher in skeletal system illnesses such as Paget's disease, hyperparathyroidism, rickets and osteomalacia, fractures, and malignant tumours that involve osteoblast hyperactivity and bone remodelling. Sometimes, children's enhanced ALP activity is linked to increased osteoblast activity that follows faster bone growth.

  • Calcium

    Calcium - Parameters: 1

    99 percent of the calcium in the body is found in the bones as hydroxyapatite, making calcium the most common mineral in the body. The leftover calcium is spread throughout the body's tissues and extracellular fluids, where it is essential to numerous functions that support life. Calcium is involved in blood coagulation, neuromuscular conduction, excitability of skeletal and cardiac muscle, enzyme activation, and maintenance of cell membrane integrity and permeability, among other extraskeletal functions. Vitamin D, calcitonin, and parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulate serum calcium levels and, by extension, body content. Serum PTH or vitamin D increases are typically linked to hypercalcemia. Other neoplastic disorders such as multiple myeloma may also be associated with elevated serum calcium levels. In conditions including pancreatitis, nephrosis, and hypoparathyroidism, hypocalcemia may be seen

  • Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate

    The Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) test measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in a tube of blood over time. It is a nonspecific indicator of inflammation in the body, with elevated rates suggesting the presence of inflammation or infection. Despite its nonspecificity, ESR is valuable in diagnosing and monitoring conditions like autoimmune diseases, infections, and certain cancers. Our laboratory provides accurate ESR testing to aid in timely diagnoses and effective treatment plans.

  • Phosphorus

    Phosphorus - Parameters: 1

    Phosphorus, an essential mineral, plays a pivotal role in various bodily functions. It contributes to bone health, energy metabolism, and cellular structure. Phosphorus also participates in the formation of DNA and RNA, vital for genetic processes. Our lab offers precise tests to monitor phosphorus levels, ensuring optimal bodily function. Explore the significance of phosphorus and its impact on overall health through our comprehensive laboratory services.

  • Rheumatoid Factor

    Rheumatoid Factor - Parameters: 1

    A diverse collection of autoantibodies directed against the antigenic determinants on the Fc-region of IgG molecules is known as rheumatoid factors. They are present in many non-rheumatic disorders as well as other inflammatory rheumatic diseases, and they are crucial in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.

  • Total protein

    Total protein - Parameters: 1

    The primary sites for the synthesis of plasma proteins are the spleen, lymph nodes, liver, and plasma cells. Both the overall protein concentration and the percentage of each particular fraction might fluctuate dramatically from normal levels during the course of a disease. Diseases and conditions include blood loss, sprue, nephrotic syndrome, severe burns, salt retention syndrome, and Kwashiorkor (acute protein shortage) can all lead to hypoproteinemia. Conditions like multiple myeloma and extreme dehydration can both result in hyperproteinemia. Variations in the percentage of a single plasma protein fraction may be the cause of changes in the relative percentage of plasma proteins. A common marker of the distribution of albumin and globulin fractions is the A/G ratio. Significant alterations in this proportion are discernible in liver cirrhosis, glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndrome, acute hepatitis, lupus erythematosus, and specific acute and chronic inflammations. In addition to other metabolic or nutritional issues, total protein measurements and protein electrophoresis are utilised in the diagnosis and treatment of a number of diseases affecting the liver, kidney, or bone marrow.

  • Uric Acid

    Uric Acid - Parameters: 1

    The end result of purine metabolism in the human body is uric acid. Measurements of uric acid are utilised in the diagnosis and treatment of several metabolic and renal illnesses, such as gout, leukaemia, psoriasis, hunger or other wasting syndromes, renal failure, and patients on cytotoxic medicines.

  • Vitamin B12

    Vitamin B12 - Parameters: 1

    Vitamin B12, an essential nutrient, plays a key role in various bodily functions, including nerve function, DNA synthesis, and red blood cell formation. Deficiency can lead to fatigue, neurological issues, and anemia. Our laboratory offers accurate testing for Vitamin B12 levels, facilitating early detection and management of deficiency-related conditions. Trust our comprehensive lab services for precise healthcare assessments, ensuring optimal well-being through proper nutrient monitoring.

  • Vitamin D

    Vitamin D - Parameters: 1

    It takes vitamin D to maintain healthy bones. A severe deficit in youngsters causes rickets, a deformity of the bones. Less severe insufficiencies are thought to result in less effective dietary calcium utilisation. Muscle weakness results from a vitamin D shortage; in the elderly, this impact has been linked to an increased risk of falls. One common cause of secondary hyperparathyroidism is a vitamin D deficiency. PTH elevations can cause osteomalacia, accelerated bone turnover, decreased bone mass, and an increased risk of bone fractures, particularly in older vitamin D deficient persons. Reduced bone mineral density is also correlated with low amounts of vitamin D (25.OH). The findings could be helpful in evaluating bone metabolism when combined with further clinical information. Sunlight exposure is the primary source of vitamin D, a fat-soluble steroid hormone precursor that is generated in the skin. To produce the physiologically active 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, vitamin D must go through two consecutive hydroxylations in the liver and kidney. Vitamin D is biologically inactive. Since vitamin D (25-OH) is the primary form of vitamin D stored in the human body, it is widely accepted that this metabolite should be used to assess the overall status of vitamin D.
