A 17-hydroxyprogesterone test measures the amount of 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) in a sample of your blood. 17-OHP is a substance that your adrenal glands make. Health care providers can use this test to help diagnose a group of uncommon genetic disorders that affect the adrenal glands. These genetic adrenal gland disorders are called congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Your adrenal glands are two small organs that sit on top of each kidney. They make different types of hormones , which are chemical messengers in your bloodstream that control the actions of certain cells or organs.

Tests
A proprietary chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) used for the qualitative detection of IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in human serum and plasma on the Abbott Alinity i system. The persistence of immunoglobulin class G (IgG) antibodies may identify people who have been infected in the past, recovered from the illness, and possibly developed immunity.

Tests
A proprietary chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) used for the qualitative detection of IgM antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in human serum and plasma on the Abbott Alinity i system. The presence of IgM antibodies may be associated with recent infection or may assist with the evaluation of disease course.

Tests
An AFP tumor marker test is a blood test that measures the level of AFP (alpha-fetoprotein) in a sample of your blood. AFP is a protein that the liver makes when its cells are growing and dividing to make new cells. AFP levels are normally high in a fetus, but after birth, they drop very low. Healthy children and adults who aren’t pregnant have very little AFP in their blood.

Tests
Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) testing uses a sample of blood or a cheek swab to diagnose a condition called alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AAT deficiency). This condition is sometimes known as "alpha-." or AATD. If you have AAT deficiency, your body doesn't make enough AAT.

An AFP test is a blood test that measures the level of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in your blood when you are pregnant. The test checks your baby's risk of having certain birth defects and genetic problems , but it does not diagnose any health conditions. The test is usually done between 15 and 20 weeks of pregnancy .

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.
