GLUCOSE TOLERANCE TEST (GTT)
The Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT) measures how well your body processes sugar over a few hours. It involves drinking a sugary solution after an initial blood draw, followed by several more blood samples. This test helps assess your body's response to glucose.
Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase (GAD-65) Antibodies
This test detects antibodies against Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase (GAD-65), an enzyme found in the pancreas and brain. The presence of these antibodies suggests an autoimmune response targeting insulin-producing cells. It helps identify certain autoimmune conditions.
Glutathione, Reduced
This test measures the level of reduced glutathione (GSH) in your blood. GSH is the active form of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant crucial for protecting your cells from damage caused by free radicals and toxins.
Glutathione, Total
This test measures the total amount of glutathione in your blood, which includes both its active (reduced) and inactive (oxidized) forms. It provides an overall picture of your body's glutathione status.
Glycoasparginase
This test measures the activity of the enzyme glycoasparaginase in your blood. This enzyme is essential for breaking down asparagine-linked oligosaccharides, and its deficiency can lead to a rare genetic disorder.
GlycoMark
The GlycoMark test measures 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG) levels in your blood, which reflect short-term glucose control over the past 1-2 weeks. It's particularly useful for detecting recent glucose fluctuations.
Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) Mucopolysaccharides (quantitative)
This test measures the amount of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), also known as mucopolysaccharides, in your urine. GAGs are complex carbohydrates that are important components of connective tissues.
Gold
The Gold test measures the level of gold in your blood. While gold is used in some medical treatments and jewelry, high levels can indicate exposure or accumulation, which might be harmful. This test helps assess your body's gold content.
Gonorrhea PCR
Detects Neisseria gonorrhoeae using PCR. Gonorrhea is a common bacterial STI that can affect the genitals, rectum, and throat.
Group B streptococcus PCR
The Group B Streptococcus (GBS) PCR test detects the genetic material of GBS bacteria in a urine sample. This test is highly sensitive and provides a rapid and accurate way to identify the presence of GBS, which can be important for pregnant women and newborns.
Growth Hormone
The Growth Hormone test measures the level of growth hormone (GH) in your blood. GH is vital for growth in children and plays a role in metabolism and body composition in adults. This test helps assess your body's hormone balance.
Growth Hormone (GH)
Measures growth hormone produced by the pituitary gland. Used to diagnose growth disorders in children (GH deficiency, gigantism) and acromegaly in adults.
