Glossary Term
The concentration of osmoles of solute per kilogram of solvent present in a sample.
Tests
Osmolality tests measure the amount of certain substances in your blood, urine, or stool (poop). The tests can show how your kidneys are working and whether you have an unhealthy fluid balance .
Indicators
Osteocalcin (100 aa, ~11 kDa) is encoded by the human BGLAP gene. This protein is involved in bone development.
Indicators
Osteopontin (314 aa, ~35 kDa) is encoded by the human SPP1 gene. This protein is involved in the regulation of both tissue mineralization and cell-cell signaling.
Glossary Term
An observation in a data set that is numerically distant from the rest of the data.
Tests
An ova and parasite test looks for intestinal parasites and their eggs (ova) by checking a sample of your stool (poop) under a microscope. The test is also called an O&P.
Glossary Term
A measure of the probability that a result happened by chance. The lower the p-value, the more likely it is that the result was caused by phenomenon of interest.
Glossary Term
A method used to test whether the mean difference between pairs of measurements in a related group are significant.
Tests
A parainfluenza test checks a fluid sample from your nose or lungs for the four types of parainfluenza viruses (also called human parainfluenza viruses, or HPIVs). These viruses are a common cause of respiratory (breathing) illnesses, especially in spring, summer, and fall.
Glossary Term
In statistical inference procedures (hypothesis tests and confidence intervals), parametric procedures are those that incorporate assumptions about population parameters.
Indicators
Parathyroid hormone (115 aa, ~13 kDa) is encoded by the human PTH gene. This protein is involved in the modulation of calcium ion and phosphate concentration in the blood.
Tests
This test measures the level of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in your blood. PTH, is made by your parathyroid glands . They are four pea-sized glands in your neck.
