Fungal stain Sputum
This test involves microscopic examination of a sputum sample (phlegm) to detect the presence of fungal elements. It is primarily used to diagnose fungal infections affecting the respiratory system, such as the lungs and airways.
Fungal stain Tissue
This test involves a microscopic examination of a tissue sample, typically obtained through a biopsy, to identify fungal structures. It is used to diagnose fungal infections that have invaded specific tissues or organs within the body.
Fungal stain Urine
This test involves a microscopic examination of a urine sample to detect the presence of fungal elements. It is used to diagnose fungal infections of the urinary tract, kidneys, or bladder, which can sometimes be asymptomatic.
Fungus Examination KOH Mount
The Fungus Examination KOH Mount test helps detect the presence of fungal elements in a sputum sample. It involves treating the sample with potassium hydroxide (KOH) to dissolve non-fungal material, making any fungi present easier to see under a microscope. This test is a quick and effective way to screen for fungal infections.
G6PD Deficiency Screening
Screens for Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase deficiency, one of the most common enzyme disorders worldwide and particularly prevalent in the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia.
GALACTOMANNAN (ASPERGILLUS ANTIGEN), SERUM
The Galactomannan (Aspergillus Antigen) test measures a specific component of the cell wall of Aspergillus fungi in your blood. This test helps determine if you have an active infection caused by Aspergillus, a common type of mold that can cause serious illness, especially in vulnerable individuals.
Galactose (Classical) Epimerase
The Galactose (Classical) Epimerase test checks for a deficiency in the enzyme Galactose Epimerase, which is essential for processing galactose, a sugar found in milk and dairy products. A deficiency in this enzyme indicates a rare genetic disorder called Galactosemia Type III, affecting how your body breaks down sugars.
Galactose (Classical) Transferase
The Galactose (Classical) Transferase test measures the activity of the Galactose-1-phosphate Uridyltransferase (GALT) enzyme in your blood. This enzyme is crucial for converting galactose into glucose, and a deficiency indicates Classic Galactosemia (Type I), the most common and severe form of this genetic disorder.
Galactose (Total) Quantitative
The Galactose (Total) Quantitative test measures the total amount of galactose in your blood. This test is often used as a screening tool for Galactosemia, a group of genetic disorders that affect how the body processes galactose, or to monitor the effectiveness of dietary management in individuals already diagnosed.
Galactose (Total) Screening Qualitative
This test screens for total galactose in the blood, helping to identify potential issues with how your body processes galactose, a type of sugar found in milk and dairy products. It's a qualitative test, meaning it indicates the presence or absence of elevated levels rather than an exact amount.
Galactose 1 Phosphate
This test measures the level of Galactose-1-phosphate in red blood cells, which is a key indicator for classic galactosemia. It helps assess how well your body processes galactose, a sugar found in dairy products.
Galactose 6 Sulphate Sulphatase
This test measures the activity of the enzyme Galactose-6-sulphate sulphatase, which is crucial for breaking down certain complex sugars in the body. It helps identify specific lysosomal storage disorders.
