|
Description:
IgM antibodies to Hepatitis A suggest a current, acute or recent Hepatitis A infection. Hepatitis A is a viral infection of the liver. The liver becomes inflamed, tender, and swollen. Hepatitis A is caused by the hepatitis A virus. The virus can be spread by contact with infected bowel movements. An infected person may pass hepatitis A to others by not washing his or her hands, especially after using the bathroom.
Abnormal results may require further evaluation by your physician.
Includes:
Hepatitis A IgM Antibody
Estimated turnaround for results is 5 business days. If confirmation testing is required, the estimated time may be extended.
Patient Instructions:
Some tests in this panel may exhibit interference when sample is collected from a person who is consuming a supplement with a high dose of biotin (also termed as vitamin B7 or B8, vitamin H or coenzyme R). Patient should be cautioned to stop biotin consumption at least 72 hours prior to the collection of a sample.

Gamma Glutamyl Transpeptidase (GGT)
*Build Your Own Panel Eligible [?]
|
$56 |
Info
|
|
Description:
Gamma Glutamyl Transpeptidase (GGT) is a biliary enzyme. This test is typically ordered when liver disease is suspected. The GGT test will help diagnose injury to the liver and bile duct.
Elevated GGT is found in all forms of liver disease. Measurement of GGT is used in the diagnosis and treatment of alcoholic cirrhosis, as well as primary and secondary liver tumors. It is more sensitive than alkaline phosphatase, the transaminases, and leucine aminopeptidase in detecting obstructive jaundice, cholangitis, and cholecystitis. Normal levels of GGT are seen in skeletal diseases; thus, GGT in serum can be used to ascertain whether a disease, suggested by elevated alkaline phosphatase, is skeletal or hepatobiliary.
Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.

Alanine Aminotransferase ALT (formally known as SGPT)
*Build Your Own Panel Eligible [?]
|
$37 |
Info
|
|
Description:
Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) measurements are particularly useful in the diagnosis and management of certain liver diseases, e.g., viral hepatitis and cirrhosis. ALT activity in tissue is generally much lower than aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activity and is found in highest concentrations in the liver. Significant elevations of ALT occur only in diseases of the liver. ALT is often measured in conjunction with AST to determine whether the source of the AST is the liver or the heart. ALT is normally not elevated in cases of myocardial infarction, i.e., a normal ALT, in conjunction with an elevated AST, tends to suggest cardiac disease. However, slight elevations of ALT may occur if an infarct destroys a very large volume of heart muscle.
Includes:
Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT/SGPT)

Hepatitis B Profile
|
$104 |
Info
|
|
Description:
Hepatitis B is a liver disease that is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Hepatitis B is a bloodborne pathogen and exposure to the blood of an infected person may result in infection.
Abnormal results may require further evaluation by your physician.
Each marker in this panel provides valuable information about the stage of infection, the presence of the virus, and the person's immune response. Brief overview:
- Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg): This is the primary marker for diagnosing Hepatitis B infection. Its presence indicates active viral replication and ongoing infection.
- Hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs): This indicates immunity to Hepatitis B, either from past infection or vaccination. It's particularly useful in assessing immune protection against the virus.
- Hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc): This antibody indicates past or ongoing Hepatitis B infection. Its presence, along with other markers, can help differentiate between acute and chronic infection.
There isn't a single "best" marker for diagnosing Hepatitis B because different markers serve different purposes in diagnosing and managing the infection.
Includes:
Hep B Core Antibody, IgM
Hepatitis B Surface Antibody Test
Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) with Reflex Confirmation
Note: Confirmation testing is performed on reactive results only if initial values fall within a designated range requiring additional confirmation.
Patient Instructions:
Some tests in this panel may exhibit interference when sample is collected from a person who is consuming a supplement with a high dose of biotin (also termed as vitamin B7 or B8, vitamin H or coenzyme R).

Info
|
|
Description:
Differential diagnosis, staging, and prognosis of hepatitis B infection. HBeAb appears in the early convalescence of HBV infection. With carrier state and chronic hepatitis, HBeAb may not develop.
The appearance of anti-HBe in patients who have previously been HBeAg positive indicates a reduced risk of infectivity. Failure of appearance implies disease activity and probable chronicity but patients with HBeAb may have chronic hepatitis. Chronic HBsAg carriers can be positive for either HBeAg or anti-HBe, but are less infectious when anti-HBe is present. HBe can persist for years, but usually disappears earlier than anti-HBs or anti-HBc. Anti-HBe has not been found as the sole serologic marker for hepatitis B infection.
A significant deviation from the normal range may require further evaluation by your phyisician.

Urea Nitrogen (BUN)
*Build Your Own Panel Eligible [?]
|
$37 |
Info
|
|
Description:
The blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test is a test of how well your kidneys are working. It measures the amount of nitrogen in your blood. The nitrogen is present in a chemical called urea. Urea is a waste product produced as your body digests protein. Urea is carried by the blood to the kidneys, which filter the urea out of the blood and into the urine.
Urea is the principle waste product of protein catabolism. BUN is most commonly measured in the diagnosis and treatment of certain renal and metabolic diseases. Increased BUN concentration may result from increased production of urea due to (1) diet or excessive destruction of cellular proteins as occurs in massive infection and fevers, (2) reduced renal perfusion resulting from dehydration or heart failure, (3) nearly all types of kidney disease, and (4) mechanical obstruction to urine excretion such as is caused by stones, tumors, infection, or stricture. Decreased urea levels are less frequent and occur primarily in advanced liver disease and in overhydration.
A significant deviation from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.

Info
|
|
Description:
Hepatitis B surface antigen is the earliest indicator of the presence of acute infection. Also indicative of chronic infection. Test is useful in the differential diagnosis of hepatitis. Patients who are negative for HBsAg may still have acute type B viral hepatitis. There is sometimes a core window stage when HBsAg has become negative and the patient has not yet developed the antibody (anti-HBs). In cases with strong clinical suspicion of viral hepatitis, serologic testing should not be limited to detecting HBsAg, but should include a battery of tests to evaluate different stages of acute and convalescent hepatitis.
Includes:
Hepatitis B Surface Antigen with Reflex Confirmation.
Positive samples will be confirmed based on the manufacturer's FDA approved recommendations.
Note: Confirmation testing is performed on reactive results only if initial values fall within a designated range requiring additional confirmation.

Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST/SGOT)
*Build Your Own Panel Eligible [?]
|
$37 |
Info

|
Description:
Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme produced by the liver. The AST test is commonly used to determine liver damage.
AST is widely distributed throughout the tissues with significant amounts being in the heart and liver. Lesser amounts are found in skeletal muscles, kidneys, pancreas, spleen, lungs, and brain. Injury to these tissues results in the release of the AST enzyme to general circulation. In myocardial infarction, serum AST may begin to rise within 6-8 hours after onset, peak within two days and return to normal by the fourth or fifth day post infarction. An increase in serum AST is also found with hepatitis, liver necrosis, cirrhosis, and liver metastasis.
Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.
