Indicators
Troponin I, troponin T, and troponin C are the three closely associated subunits of the troponin complex of thin filaments in muscle. The complex serves as a calcium-sensitive switch that regulates muscle contraction. Troponin T binds tropomyosin to the troponin complex and inhibits F-actin-myosin interactions. The troponin T gene family comprises three isoforms: slow skeletal (TNNT1), cardiac (TNNT2) and fast skeletal (TNNT3). Because it is not normally found in blood, cardiac troponin-T in serum is a sensitive indicator of myocardial cell injury.
Tests
A troponin test measures the level of troponin in a sample of your blood. Troponin is a protein that's found in the cells of your heart muscle.

Tests
TSH stands for thyroid stimulating hormone . Another name for it is thyrotropin. A TSH test is a blood test that measures this hormone. A TSH level that is too high or too low may be a sign of a thyroid problem .

Tests
The determination of the amount of C-reactive protein (CRP) present in a sample, usually serum from a blood draw from a subject that does not have a chronic inflammatory condition, through the use of an enhanced particle-enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay. This test is optimized to measure lower concentrations of CRP than a conventional CRP test. Accuracy is enhanced to ultra high levels through the use of a proprietary set of calibrated CRP samples.

Indicators
A nitrogenous compound containing a carbonyl group attached to two amine groups with osmotic diuretic activity. In vivo, urea is formed in the liver via the urea cycle from ammonia and is the final end product of protein metabolism. Administration of urea elevates blood plasma osmolality, resulting in enhanced flow of water from tissues, including the brain, cerebrospinal fluid and eye, into interstitial fluid and plasma, thereby decreasing pressure in those tissues and increasing urine outflow.
Indicators
A white tasteless odorless crystalline product of protein metabolism, found in the blood and urine, as well as trace amounts found in the various organs of the body. It can build up and form stones or crystals in various disease states.
Tests
A uric acid test measures the amount of uric acid in a sample of your blood or urine (pee). Uric acid is a normal waste product that your body makes when it breaks down chemicals called purines. These chemicals come from your cells when they die and can be found in certain foods and beverages.

Tests
A urobilinogen in urine test measures the amount of urobilinogen in your urine (pee). Urobilinogen comes from bilirubin. Your body makes bilirubin during the normal process of breaking down old red blood cells. Your liver uses the bilirubin to make bile, a fluid that helps you digest food in your intestines. Some bile flows through your bile ducts (small tubes) from your liver directly into your intestines. The rest is stored in your gallbladder for when you need it.
