Tests
This test measures the amount of IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1) in your blood. IGF-1 is a hormone , a chemical messenger in your bloodstream that controls the actions of certain cells or organs. IGF-1 manages the effects of growth hormone (GH) in your body. Together, IGF-1 and GH promote normal growth of bones and tissues.
Tests
An immunoglobulins blood test measures the amount of immunoglobulins in your blood. Immunoglobulins are also called antibodies. Antibodies are proteins that your immune system makes to fight germs , such as viruses and bacteria . Your body makes different kinds of antibodies to fight germs in different parts of the body and at different stages of an infection.
Tests
An insulin in blood test measures the amount of insulin in a sample of your blood. Insulin is a hormone that your pancreas makes. Hormones are chemical messengers in your bloodstream that control the actions of certain cells or organs.
Tests
An intravenous pyelogram (IVP) uses x-rays and contrast dye to get clear pictures of the organs of your urinary tract . These are the organs that make urine (pee) and remove it from your body. They include your:
Tests
Iron tests measure different substances in the blood to check iron levels in your body. Iron is a mineral that your body needs for growth and development. Your body uses iron to make hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells. It carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body, Iron is also important for healthy muscles, bone marrow, and organ function. Your body also needs iron to make some hormones .
Tests
A karyotype test is a type of genetic testing . It looks at the size, shape, and number of chromosomes in a sample of cells from your body. Chromosomes are tiny "packages" in your cells that contain your genes . Genes carry information, called DNA , that controls what you look like and how your body works.
Tests
A ketones in blood test measures the level of ketones in your blood. Ketones are acids that your body makes when it breaks down fat for energy.
Tests
A ketones in urine test measures ketone levels in your urine. Normally, the cells in your body use blood glucose (also called blood sugar) for energy. It comes from the food you eat. Your body breaks down most of that food into glucose and releases it into your bloodstream. If your cells can't get enough glucose, your body breaks down fat for energy instead. This produces an acid called ketones, which can build up in your blood and urine.
Tests
Kidney stones are small, pebble-like pieces of material that form in one or both of your kidneys. Your kidneys are two bean-shaped organs just below your rib cage. They keep your body's balance of water, minerals, and salts by removing waste to make urine (pee). Kidney stones form when you have high levels of some minerals or salts in your urine (pee). Many things may increase your risk of kidney stones. These can include your diet, some health conditions, and some supplements or medicines.
Tests
This test measures lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isoenzymes in a sample of your blood. It's a general test that can help find out if you have tissue damage from disease or injury. It can also help show which organs and other tissues are likely to be damaged. But an LDH isoenzymes test alone cannot diagnose what's causing the damage.
Tests
A lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) test usually measures the level of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in a sample of your blood. In certain cases, LDH levels are measured in samples of other body fluids. This includes testing fluid from the spine ( cerebrospinal fluid ), the belly ( peritoneal fluid ), and the chest ( pleural fluid ).
Tests
This test measures the level of lactate, also called lactic acid, in a sample of your blood. In certain cases, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may be used. Normally, you have low levels of lactate in your blood and CSF. High levels of lactate may be a sign of a wide variety of medical conditions.
