URIC ACID
This blood test is used to check for gout and also monitor people undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatment for cancer.
Blood.
No specific patient preparation protocol required. Inform your doctor if you are on any medications or have any underlying medical conditions or allergies before undergoing this test.
Uric acid is produced by the breakdown of purines. Purines are nitrogen-containing compounds found in the cells of the body, including our DNA. If too much uric acid is produced or not enough is removed, it can accumulate in the body, causing increased levels in the blood (hyperuricemia). The presence of excess uric acid can cause gout, a condition characterized by inflammation of the joints due to the formation of uric acid crystals in the joint (synovial) fluid. Excess uric acid can also be deposited in tissues such as the kidney, leading to kidney stones or kidney failure.

Progesterone
This is a test used to help check for possible causes of infertility, monitor or detect a failing pregnancy as well as tracking fertility treatments.This measures progesterone levels in blood.
Blood.
None, however early morning samples are preferred and for women, the date of your last menstrual period or trimester of pregnancy should be noted.
After ovulation, a corpus luteum forms in the ovary at the site where the egg was released and begins to produce progesterone. This progesterone, supplemented by small amounts produced by the adrenal glands, stops endometrial growth and readies the uterus for the possible implantation of a fertilized egg. If fertilization does not occur, the corpus luteum degenerates, progesterone levels drop, and menstrual bleeding begins. If a fertilized egg is implanted in the uterus, the corpus luteum continues to produce progesterone, with the egg forming a trophoblast that produces human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). After several weeks, the placenta replaces the corpus luteum as the main source of progesterone, producing relatively large amounts of the hormone throughout the rest of a normal pregnancy.While men have small amounts of progesterone in their blood, progesterone is usually not tested in men, unless specific adrenal diseases are suspected. Progesterone does not have an established role in males.

Prothrombin Time (INR)
The prothrombin time (PT) is a test that helps evaluate your body’s ability to appropriately form blood clots.
Blood.
None needed, however if you are receiving anticoagulant therapy, the blood sample should be collected before taking your daily dose.
A PT measures the number of seconds it takes for a clot to form in your sample of blood after substances (reagents) are added. The PT is often performed along with a partial thromboplastin time (PTT) and together they assess the amount and function of proteins called coagulation factors that are an important part of proper blood clot formation. For people taking warfarin, most laboratories report PT results that have been adjusted to the INR. A prolonged PT means that the blood is taking too long to form a clot, this may be caused by conditions such as liver disease, vitamin K deficiency, or a coagulation factor deficiency (e.g., factor VII deficiency).

Follicle Stimulating Hormone
This blood test measures level of Follicle Stimulating Hormone(FSH) in the blood which is responsible for fertility.
Blood.
No test preparation is needed, but early morning samples are preferred and a woman’s sample should be collected at specific times during her menstrual cycle.
FSH is made by the pituitary gland located in the brain, In women of childbearing age, FSH stimulates the growth and maturation of eggs (follicles) in the ovaries during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle. In men, FSH stimulates the testicles to produce mature sperm and also promotes the production of androgen binding proteins. Disorders affecting the hypothalamus, pituitary, and/or the ovaries or testicles can cause the production of too much or too little FSH, resulting in a variety of conditions such as infertility, abnormal menstrual cycles, or early (precocious) or delayed puberty.

Rota Virus
The rotavirus test is a stool test used to diagnose a rotavirus infection which causes vomiting and diarrhoea especially in children.
Stool.
No specific patient preparation protocol required. Inform the doctor if you are on any medications, have any allergies or underlying medical conditions before this test.
Rotavirus is a viral organism that affects the intestines and causes vomiting and diarrhea. This infection is especially common in young children, but it can affect adults, too. A rotavirus infection causes a condition called viral gastroenteritis. Rotavirus passes easily from person to person. It can also be picked up by touching a surface contaminated by someone with rotavirus. Sharing food or drink with an infected person can also spread it. Most people don’t need treatment for rotavirus, but it’s still important to diagnose the infection and watch for signs of dehydration.

Direct bilirubin
This test is used to check for presence of liver disease or damage.
Blood.
You may need to fast (nothing but water) for four hours before the test. Inform the doctor if you are on any medications, have any allergies or underlying medical conditions before this test.
Bilirubin is an orange-yellow pigment, a waste product primarily produced by the normal breakdown of heme a component of hemoglobin, which is found in red blood cells (RBCs). A small amount (approximately 250 to 350 milligrams) of bilirubin is produced daily in a normal, healthy adult.If the bilirubin level increases in the blood, a person may appear jaundiced, with a yellowing of the skin and/or whites of the eyes. The pattern of bilirubin test results can give the health practitioner information regarding the condition that may be present ie with liver diseases such as cirrhosis or inherited problems.

CA 15-3 (Breast Cancer)
This test measures Cancer antigen 15-3 in the blood. (CA 15-3) is a protein that is produced by normal breast cells but in many people with cancerous breast tumors, there is an increased production.
Blood.
No specific patient preparation protocol required. Inform the doctor if you are on any medications, have any allergies or underlying medical conditions before this test.
Cancer antigen 15-3 (CA 15-3) is a normal product of breast cells. Concentrations of CA 15-3 in the blood are often increased in breast cancer. CA 15-3 does not cause cancer; rather, it is a protein that is shed by the tumour cells, making it useful as a marker to follow the course of the cancer. CA 15-3 is rarely elevated in women with localised breast cancer but is increased in about 75% of those with breast cancer that has metastasised (spread to other organs). CA 15-3 also may be elevated in healthy people and in individuals with other cancers, or diseases, such as bowel cancer, lung cancer, cirrhosis, hepatitis, and benign breast disease.
