The LASA is a useful test in the management of a variety of malignancies. It is generally used in conjunction with other tumor markers.
|
The Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is produced in and released from the anterior pituitary gland under hypothalamic control. The primary use of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) measurement is in evaluating the normalcy of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.
|
The measurement of Lipase is used to diagnose and monitor pancreatitis or other pancreatic diseases. It is ordered when the patient has symptoms of a pancreatic disorder, such as severe abdominal pain, fever, loss of appetite, or nausea.
|
The profile is a combination of several tests. The tests include Cholesterol, LDL:HDL ratio; lipid panel(Cholesterol, total; high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol; low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (calculation); triglycerides; very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol (calculation).
|
This profile is used to evaluate hyperlipidemia as an index to coronary artery disease. Testing includes Total cholesterol:HDL ratio and Lipid Panel(Cholesterol, total; high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol; low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (calculation); triglycerides; very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol (calculation).
|
The Lipid Profile is used to evaluate hyperlipidemia as an index to coronary artery disease. The tests include Cholesterol, total; High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol; Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (calculation); Triglycerides; Very Low-Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol (calculation).
|
The NMR LipoProfile® is a blood test that helps to iden-tify patients at risk for lipid-related CHD by measuring both the number of LDL particles (LDL-P) and standard lipids. The testing includes Lipoprotein particle number; lipoprotein subfractions; metabolic syndrome markers; standard lipid panel (total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides).
|
The measurement of Lp(a) is used as a risk factor for atherosclerotic diseases such as coronary heart disease and stroke.
|
Phenotyping of Lipoprotein is used to evaluate hyperlipidemia to determine abnormal lipoprotein distribution and concentration in the serum.
|
The VAPTM cholesterol test is a comprehensive lipoprotein analysis. It provides a direct measurement of total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C, VLDL-C, Lp(a), and triglycerides.
|
Lithium as lithium carbonate is used as a psychoactive agent in the treatment of manic depressive disorders. The measurement is used to monitor treatment.
|
The Liver Function Panel measures 7 liver chemistries to evaluate liver function and health. The tests are Alanine aminotransferase (ALT/SGPT), Albumin, Alkaline phosphatase , Aspartate aminotransferase (AST/SGOT), Direct Bilirubin Total Bilirubin, Total Protein.
|
The Liver Health Profile is comprised of a Liver Function Profile, Complete Blood Count (CBC) and Urinalysis.
|
The LDL measurement is known as the "Bad Cholesterol". The direct measurement of LDL is usually ordered when triglycerides are >400 mg/dL, where the estimation of LDL by calculation may not be possible or may lead to inaccuracies.
|
Luteinizing hormone (LH) is produced by the pituitary gland. The control of LH production is a complex system involving hormones produced by the gonads (ovaries or testes), the pituitary, and the hypothalamus.
|
This test aids in the diagnosis of acute and later stages of infection by B burgdorferi, the spirochete associated with Lyme disease.
