Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate - Parameters: 1

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.

Ferritin - Parameters: 1

Ferritin is a macromolecule that has a molecular weight of at least 440 kD, depending on the amount of iron present. It is composed of an iron core that has an average of about 2500 Fe3+ ions (in liver and spleen ferritin) and a protein shell (apoferritin) with 24 subunits. Ferritin measurement is a useful technique for determining the state of iron metabolism. A representative measurement of the body's iron reserves can be obtained by measuring ferritin at the start of treatment. Early detection is possible when it comes to reticulo-endothelial system (RES) storage deficiencies.

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.

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.

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 - 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.
