Reports in 24 - 48 Hrs.
17 Hydroxyprogesterone is a hormone made by the adrenal glands which are present above the kidney.In case he suspects congenital adrenal hyperplasia(CAH) which is a genetic disorder that prevents the adrenal gland from making enough cortisol.17 OHP test done as a part of testing for CAH for screening for new born to check various serious diseases

5 HIAA
Reports in 24 - 48 Hrs.
This acid is a waste product that comes from the breakdown of serotonin by the liver. Higher levels of 5-HIAA in urine indicates carcinoid tumor.These tumors secrete serotonin. Carcinoid tumors can occur anywhere such as the intestinal tract the lungs appendix and other body tissues. A tumor marker protein chromogranin A may be ordered as a blood test.

A4 - Androstenedione
Reports in 24 - 48 Hrs.
Androstenedione is a steroid sex hormone which originates in the gonads with minor contribution from the adrenal glands. The test helps diagnose the causes of a high testosterone (male sex harmone) in women routine health screenings and suspected disease or toxicity.

AAT - Alpha 1 Antitrypsin
Reports in 24 - 48 Hrs.
AAT is aprotein which is made in the Liver.It helps to protect lungs from diseases. An AAT test helps to diagnose some of lung diseases which is a cause of so many risk factors like: smoking. The test may also be used to diagnose a rare form of liver disease in infants. If result shows lower than normal it indicates that AAT deficiency and patient is advised to take necessary steps to avoid the risk factors.

Absolute Besophil Count
Reports in 24 - 48 Hrs.
An absolute basophil count identifies how many basophils are present in a sample of your blood. The calculation for an absolute basophil count multiplies the percentage of basophils from a complete blood count by the total number of white blood cells from the same count. Basophils are a type of white blood cell. There are three types of white blood cells each with its own function to boost your immune system including granulocytes monocytes and lymphocytes. Basophils are one of three granulocytes along with neutrophils and eosinophils. Basophils are the smallest in number of granulocytes but the largest in cell size. Basophils play an important role helping your body respond to allergic reactions.

Absolute Count - CD3 Count
Reports in 24 - 48 Hrs.
CD3 is a surface marker expressed on T lymphocytes a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in immune responses.CD3 count is commonly measured using flow cytometry a technique that allows for the identification and enumeration of specific cell populations based on their surface markers. In flow cytometry the sample is labeled with fluorescently labeled antibodies targeting CD3 which binds to the CD3 molecules on T cells. The labeled cells are then analyzed by a flow cytometer which measures the fluorescence emitted by each cell enabling the determination of the CD3-positive T cell count.The absolute CD3 count provides valuable information about the total number of T cells present in the sample and is often used in immunological evaluations monitoring of immune status and assessment of T cell-related disorders.

Absolute Count - CD4 Count
Reports in 24 - 48 Hrs.
The CD4 count is commonly measured using flow cytometry a technique that allows for the identification and enumeration of specific cell populations based on their surface markers. In flow cytometry the sample is labeled with fluorescently labeled antibodies targeting CD4 which binds to the CD4 molecules on helper T cells. The labeled cells are then analyzed by a flow cytometer which measures the fluorescence emitted by each cell enabling the determination of the CD4-positive T cell count.The absolute CD4 count is an important parameter in assessing the immune status particularly in the context of HIV infection. HIV specifically targets and infects CD4-positive T cells leading to their depletion and subsequent impairment of the immune system. Monitoring CD4 counts is crucial for assessing immune function guiding treatment decisions and monitoring the progression of HIV infection.

Absolute Lymphocyte Count
Reports in 24 - 48 Hrs.
An absolute lymphocytes count tells you the number of cells as an absolute number instead of as a percentage. Multiply your total number of white blood cells by the percentage of your white blood cells that are lymphocytes to get your absolute lymphocytes count. Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell. They play an important role in your immune system which helps your body fight disease and infection. Your immune system is made up of an intricate web of immune cells lymph nodes lymph tissue and lymphatic organs. Lymphocytes are a type of immune cell.
