AMA – TPO

The AMA – TPO test is designed to evaluate Thyroid Peroxidase antibodies, which play a crucial role in assessing autoimmune thyroid disorders. Elevated levels of TPO antibodies often indicate Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or Graves’ disease, conditions where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland. Measuring these antibodies helps in early detection of thyroid dysfunction, even before changes in thyroid hormone levels appear. This test is particularly useful for patients with symptoms like fatigue, weight fluctuations, hair loss, and swelling in the neck, or for those with a family history of thyroid problems. Results from the AMA – TPO test guide clinicians in planning long-term monitoring and appropriate interventions. It is an important diagnostic marker in preventive thyroid care.Reports On : With 12…

Alkaline Phosphatase

The Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) test is a routine blood test that measures the level of the ALP enzyme in your bloodstream. ALP is mainly found in the liver, bones, kidneys, and digestive system. It plays an important role in breaking down proteins and supporting bone growth. This test is often ordered to evaluate liver function, detect bile duct blockages, or assess bone disorders such as rickets, fractures, or osteoporosis. High levels of ALP may indicate liver disease, bile obstruction, or bone conditions, while low levels can suggest nutritional deficiencies or certain genetic disorders. Doctors usually combine the ALP test with other liver function tests for accurate diagnosis and monitoring.Reports On : With 90 MinuteSample Type : BloodFasting : Not Required Click Here…

Aldosterone

The Aldosterone Test measures the level of aldosterone, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that helps regulate blood pressure, sodium, and potassium balance. This test is often ordered when a person has symptoms such as high blood pressure, muscle weakness, low potassium, or suspected adrenal gland disorders. It is commonly used to diagnose conditions like primary aldosteronism (Conn’s syndrome), adrenal hyperplasia, or secondary causes of hypertension. The test may involve a blood sample or sometimes a 24-hour urine collection. Results are interpreted alongside renin levels to calculate the aldosterone-to-renin ratio, which provides greater diagnostic value. Preparation may include adjusting salt intake, medications, or posture before sample collection.Reports On : With 24 HoursSample Type : Blood , 24-hour urine sampleFasting : Not…
