Tests
An ammonia levels test measures the amount of ammonia in a sample of your blood. Ammonia is also called NH3. It is a normal waste product in your body. Healthy bacteria in your intestines make ammonia when you digest protein in the foods you eat.
Tests
An amylase test measures the amount of amylase in your blood or urine (pee). Amylase is an enzyme, a protein that speeds up chemical reactions in your body. Amylase helps you digest carbohydrates . Most of the amylase in your body is made by your pancreas and salivary (spit) glands.
Tests
An ANA test is a blood test that looks for antinuclear antibodies in your blood. Antibodies are proteins that your immune system makes to fight foreign substances, like viruses and bacteria. But an antinuclear antibody attacks your healthy cells instead. It's called "antinuclear" because it targets the nucleus of the cells, which is in charge of sending signals that are needed for important cell functions.
Tests
An anion gap blood test gives a measurement of the acid-base balance (pH balance) in your blood. This lets you know whether your blood is too acidic or not acidic enough. The test also checks for an electrolyte imbalance in your blood. To do the measurement, an anion gap test uses the results of an electrolyte panel or other blood tests that measure your electrolytes.
Tests
An anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) test measures the amount of AMH in a blood sample. In males, the testicles (or testes), which are glands that make sperm and hormones, make AMH. In females, the ovaries, which are glands that store and develop eggs and make hormones, make AMH.
Tests
Antibody serology tests look for specific antibodies in your blood. Antibodies are proteins your immune system makes to fight disease-causing germs (also called pathogens), such as viruses and bacteria .
Tests
An ANCA test looks for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) in a sample of your blood. Antibodies are proteins that your immune system makes to fight foreign substances, such as viruses and bacteria. ANCAs, however, are autoantibodies, which are antibodies that attack your own healthy tissues and organs by mistake. This can lead to the development of an autoimmune disease .
Tests
An arterial blood gas (ABG) test measures the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide (CO2) in a sample of your blood. The blood oxygen measurement shows how well your lungs move oxygen from the air into your blood when you breathe in. The carbon dioxide measurement shows how well your lungs remove carbon dioxide from your blood when you breathe out.
Tests
An AST blood test measures the amount of AST in your blood. This test is commonly used to help diagnose liver damage or disease .
Tests
Autoantibody testing checks a sample of your blood for autoantibodies, proteins made by the immune system .
Tests
A bacteria culture test can determine if you have a bacterial infection and, if so, which type of bacteria is causing it. To do a bacterial culture test, you will need to give a sample of your blood, urine, skin, or other tissue. The type of sample depends on where the infection is located.
