Tests
MPV stands for mean platelet volume. Platelets (also called thrombocytes) are small blood cells that stick together to make blood clots that stop or slow bleeding when you have a cut or injury. Platelets are made in your bone marrow.
Tests
PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tests are a reliable and accurate way to diagnose certain infectious diseases , some types of cancer , and certain genetic changes. The tests check for small amounts of genetic material of a pathogen (disease-causing organism) or abnormal cells in a sample of your blood, saliva, mucus, or tissue. The genetic material could be:
Tests
Platelets, also known as thrombocytes, are small blood cells. They form in your bone marrow, the sponge-like tissue in your bones. Platelets are essential for blood clotting . A blood clot is a mass of blood that forms when platelets, proteins, and cells in the blood stick together. When you get hurt, your body forms a blood clot to stop the bleeding.
Tests
A prolactin (PRL) test measures the level of prolactin in a sample of your blood. Prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland , a small gland at the base of the brain. Hormones are chemical messengers in your bloodstream that control the actions of certain cells or organs.
Tests
The determination of the amount of small-colony variant Pseudomonas aeruginosa present in a sample.
Tests
A thyroglobulin test measures the amount of a protein called thyroglobulin (Tg) in a sample of your blood. Your thyroid (a small, butterfly-shaped gland in your neck) makes thyroglobulin along with many other important hormones . Together, these hormones control bodily activities such as your heart rate and how fast you burn calories from food.
Tests
A thyroid antibody test measures the level of thyroid antibodies in a sample of your blood to check for an autoimmune thyroid disease . Your thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in your neck. It makes hormones that control many activities in your body, including your heart rate and how fast you burn calories from food.
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.
Tests
The determination of the number of neutrophils containing small vacuoles present in a sample.
