Absolute Monocyte Count (AMC)
The Absolute Monocyte Count (AMC) measures the exact number of monocytes, a type of white blood cell, in your blood. Monocytes play a crucial role in your immune system by fighting off infections and removing damaged cells. This test helps assess your body's immune response.
Acetone Serum (Beta hydroxybutyrate)
The Acetone Serum test, which often measures Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), assesses the levels of ketone bodies in your blood. BHB is the most abundant ketone body and a key indicator of your body's fat metabolism, especially when carbohydrates are scarce. This test helps understand your metabolic state.
Acetyl Choline Receptor Binding Antibody
The Acetyl Choline Receptor Binding Antibody test detects specific antibodies that interfere with the normal function of acetylcholine receptors. These receptors are crucial for transmitting signals between nerves and muscles, enabling muscle movement. This test helps diagnose certain autoimmune conditions affecting muscle function.
Acetylcholinesterase (RBC) OPC poisoning Blood
This test measures the activity of acetylcholinesterase in your red blood cells. It is primarily used to check for exposure to organophosphate compounds (OPCs), which are commonly found in pesticides and nerve agents. A decrease in this enzyme's activity can indicate poisoning.
Acetylcholinesterase OPC poisoning Plasma
This test measures the activity of acetylcholinesterase in your blood plasma. It is used to detect recent exposure to organophosphate compounds (OPCs), commonly found in pesticides, and assess potential poisoning. Plasma levels react more quickly to exposure than RBC levels.
Actinomycetes Culture only Sputum
This test involves culturing a sputum sample to detect the presence of Actinomycetes bacteria. These bacteria can cause a rare but serious infection called actinomycosis, often affecting the lungs.
Actinomycetes Culture only Tissue
This test involves culturing a tissue sample to identify the presence of Actinomycetes bacteria. These bacteria can cause actinomycosis, a chronic infection that can affect various body parts, including the jaw, abdomen, or chest.
Acylcarnitine profile, Quantitative Plasma
This test measures various acylcarnitines in your blood plasma, which are molecules involved in the body's metabolism of fats and energy production. It helps identify inherited metabolic disorders where the body struggles to process certain fats or amino acids.
Adenovirus (Respiraitory) PCR
The Adenovirus (Respiratory) PCR test detects genetic material from adenoviruses in a respiratory sample. This test is crucial for identifying an active adenovirus infection, which can cause a range of respiratory illnesses from common colds to pneumonia.
Adrenal 21-Hydroxylase Autoantibodies
This test checks for specific antibodies that target the 21-hydroxylase enzyme in your adrenal glands. These antibodies can indicate an autoimmune condition affecting your adrenal function.
AFB DRUG SENSITIVITY: MIC TEST FOR RAPID GROWING NON-TUBERCULOUS MYCOBACTERIA (NTM)
This test identifies the most effective antibiotics for treating infections caused by rapid-growing Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM). It uses the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) method to determine the lowest drug dose needed to stop the bacteria's growth, guiding precise treatment.
AFB RAPID GENOTYPIC TEST (MDR-TB) (Note: This test is not applicable for MOTT)
This rapid genotypic test identifies the presence of Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) and checks for specific genetic mutations associated with multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). It helps in quickly determining if the TB bacteria are resistant to common first-line medications. Please note, this test is specifically designed for Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is not applicable for other types of mycobacteria (MOTT).
