PAP SMEAR, LIQUID BASED CYTOLOGY (LBC)
A Pap Smear (LBC) is a crucial screening test for cervical cancer. It involves collecting cells from your cervix to check for abnormal changes that could indicate precancerous conditions or cancer.
PARANEOPLASTIC DISORDER PROFILE ( HUABS, YOABS, RI ABS, PNMA2 ABS, AMPHIPHYSIN ABS)
This comprehensive blood test screens for specific antibodies (Hu, Yo, Ri, PNMA2, Amphiphysin) that are often associated with paraneoplastic neurological disorders. These disorders occur when a tumor triggers an immune response that mistakenly attacks parts of the nervous system.
Partial thromboplastin time Activated (aPTT)
The aPTT test measures the time it takes for blood to clot, specifically evaluating the "intrinsic" and "common" pathways of the clotting cascade. It helps assess your blood's ability to form clots and detect any potential bleeding or clotting disorders.
Parvovirus B19 IgG antibody
This test checks for IgG antibodies to Parvovirus B19, indicating a past infection or immunity. It helps determine if you have previously been exposed to the virus and have developed long-term protection.
Parvovirus B19 IgM antibody
This test detects IgM antibodies to Parvovirus B19, which are typically present during a recent or active infection. It helps identify if you currently have an ongoing Parvovirus B19 infection.
Parvovirus B19 Qualitative PCR
This test directly detects the genetic material (DNA) of Parvovirus B19 in your blood. It's a highly sensitive method to confirm the presence of the virus and diagnose an active infection.
PAS Stain Blood
The PAS (Periodic Acid-Schiff) stain is a special laboratory technique applied to blood cells to identify specific substances like glycogen. It helps healthcare providers examine the characteristics of your blood cells more closely.
PAS Stain Bone Marrow
The PAS (Periodic Acid-Schiff) stain is a specialized technique applied to bone marrow cells to highlight specific components like glycogen. This helps in the detailed examination of bone marrow cell morphology.
PD-L1 (SP142) Ventana for TNBC
This test specifically measures PD-L1 protein levels on tumor-infiltrating immune cells using the SP142 antibody, particularly relevant for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC). It helps determine if patients with TNBC might benefit from certain immunotherapy drugs.
Peripheral Blood Smear
A trained technologist examines a thin layer of blood under a microscope to evaluate the size, shape, and appearance of blood cells. Detects abnormalities not seen on automated CBC.
Phospholipase A2 Receptor Antibody IgG
This test detects specific IgG antibodies targeting the Phospholipase A2 Receptor (PLA2R) in your blood. These antibodies are strongly associated with a specific autoimmune kidney disease called primary membranous nephropathy.
Phospholipid antibody IgG
This test checks for IgG antibodies that mistakenly target phospholipids, which are fats essential for cell membranes and blood clotting. Detecting these antibodies helps understand if your immune system is overactive and attacking healthy tissues.
