Tests
This test measures the amount of glucagon in your blood. Glucagon is a hormone made by your pancreas. Hormones are chemical messengers in your bloodstream that control the actions of certain cells or organs. Glucagon works with other hormones, like insulin, to help maintain your body's level of blood glucose , also called blood sugar. Glucagon increases your blood glucose levels, while insulin decreases your blood glucose levels.
Tests
A glucose in urine test measures the amount of glucose in your urine (pee). Glucose is a type of sugar. It is your body's main source of energy. Glucose comes from the food you eat. Your body breaks down most of that food into glucose and releases it into your bloodstream. Your blood carries glucose to your cells for energy.
Tests
A long-term measure of average blood glucose over roughly the preceding two to three months, used to diagnose and monitor diabetes.
Tests
A Gram stain is a test that checks to see if you have a bacterial infection . A sample is taken from the site of a suspected infection, such as your throat, lungs, genitals, or a skin wound . Gram stains may also be used to check for bacteria in certain body fluids, such as blood or urine.
Tests
Growth hormone (GH) tests are blood tests that check if your body is making a normal amount of GH. Hormones are chemical messengers in your bloodstream that control the actions of certain cells or organs. GH, also known as human growth hormone, controls your body's growth. It also helps control metabolism, the process your body uses to make energy from the food you eat. GH is made in the pituitary gland , a small organ at the base of your brain that controls many functions, including growth.
Tests
This test measures the amount of haptoglobin in your blood. Haptoglobin is a protein made by your liver to get rid of the hemoglobin outside your red blood cells.
Tests
Heavy metal testing includes a group of tests that measures the levels of possibly harmful metals (like lead or mercury ) in your blood, urine, hair, fingernails, stool (poop), or other body tissues.
Tests
The measurement of the ratio of helper T lymphocytes, which are T lymphocytes that express CD4, to the total number of blood cells in a sample expressed as a percent value.
Tests
A hematocrit test is a blood test that measures the amount (percent) of your blood that is made up of red blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. The other parts of your blood include white blood cells (to help fight infection and other diseases), platelets (to help make blood clots to stop bleeding ), and a liquid called plasma.
Tests
A hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) test is a blood test that shows your average level of blood glucose , also called blood sugar, over the past two to three months.
Tests
A quantitative measurement of the distribution of the hemoglobin concentration in red blood cells.
Tests
Hemoglobin electrophoresis is a test that measures the different types of hemoglobin in the blood. It also checks for hemoglobinopathy, disorders involving abnormal types of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein in your red blood cells. It carries oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. There are a few different types of normal and abnormal hemoglobin.
