: Serum
Also Known As: ALB Test
The Albumin test is a common clinical laboratory procedure designed to measure the concentration of albumin, a crucial protein produced by the liver, in a patient's blood. Albumin serves various functions in the body, including maintaining oncotic pressure within blood vessels, transporting hormones, enzymes, and medications, and regulating fluid balance between blood and tissues.

: Serum
 The Aldolase test measures the level of aldolase, an enzyme found in various tissues throughout the body, particularly in muscles and the liver. Aldolase plays a crucial role in glycolysis, a process that breaks down glucose for energy production.

: Varied
 The Aldosterone 24 Hour Urine test measures the amount of aldosterone excreted in the urine over a 24-hour period. Aldosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that helps regulate blood pressure by maintaining a balance of sodium and potassium in the blood. By examining a 24-hour sample, health care providers get an integrated view of aldosterone secretion over an entire day, rather than a snapshot that a single blood test might provide.

: Serum
Also Known As: Aldosterone Plasma Test
The Aldosterone test measures the level of aldosterone hormone in the blood. Aldosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, located on top of each kidney. It plays a vital role in regulating the body's fluid and electrolyte balance, particularly the levels of sodium and potassium in the blood. The test helps assess the function of the adrenal glands and aids in the diagnosis of various conditions related to aldosterone production and regulation.

Also Known As: Alkaline Phosphatase Test, Alk Phos Test, Alkp Test

The Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) Test measures ALP enzyme levels in the blood, which are found in the liver, bones, and other tissues. Elevated or low levels can indicate liver disease, bone disorders, or conditions affecting bile ducts, making it useful for evaluating liver and bone health.

Add to  
 The Alkaline Phosphatase Isoenzymes test is a diagnostic tool that measures the different forms (isoenzymes) of the enzyme alkaline phosphatase (ALP) present in the blood. ALP is an enzyme found in various tissues throughout the body, with the highest concentrations being in the liver, bones, kidneys, and intestines. Each tissue produces a slightly different version of ALP, and these different versions are known as isoenzymes.

Also Known As: Alanine Aminotransferase Test, GPT Test, SGPT Test, Serum Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase Test

The Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) Test measures ALT enzyme levels in the blood, which are mainly produced in the liver. Elevated ALT may indicate liver damage or disease, such as hepatitis, fatty liver, or effects from medications. It is commonly used to evaluate liver health and monitor treatment.

Add to  
Also Known As: ANA Test, Antinuclear Antibody Screen Test

The ANA Screen IFA with Reflex to Titer and Pattern detects antinuclear antibodies in the blood, which may indicate autoimmune disorders. If positive, reflex testing determines the antibody level (titer) and staining pattern to help diagnose specific autoimmune diseases.

Also Known As: ANCA test, cANCA test, pANCA test, Serine Protease 3 test, Acticytoplasmic Test, 3-ANCA test, PR3-ANCA Test, MPO-ANCA test
The ANCA Screen with Reflex to ANCA Titer test is a specialized blood test used to detect the presence of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) in the bloodstream. ANCA are autoantibodies that target specific proteins found in the cytoplasm of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell. This test is a two-step process that includes an initial ANCA screen, followed by an ANCA titer test if the screen is positive.
Add to  
: Serum
 The ANCA (Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies) Vasculitides test identifies the presence of autoantibodies in the blood that target proteins found in the cytoplasm of neutrophil granulocytes, a type of white blood cell. These autoantibodies are associated with certain forms of vasculitis, a group of disorders characterized by the inflammation and damage of blood vessels. The test is typically comprised of two main types: c-ANCA (cytoplasmic) and p-ANCA (perinuclear).
Add to  
: Serum
Also Known As: : ACE Test, SACE Test, Serum Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Test, Serum ACE test
The Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) test is a specialized laboratory assay designed to measure the level of ACE—an enzyme primarily found in the lungs and blood vessels—in the blood. ACE plays a critical role in regulating blood pressure and fluid balance.

 The Antithrombin III Activity test measures the activity of antithrombin, a protein in the blood that naturally inhibits clot formation. It's one of the primary inhibitors of clotting factor enzymes, particularly thrombin and Factor Xa. Adequate antithrombin levels are vital for controlling and balancing coagulation. The activity test provides insights into how well the antithrombin is functioning, rather than just its concentration in the blood.

: Serum
Also Known As: Apo A1 Test, Apolipoprotein A-1 Test

The Apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) Test measures the level of ApoA1, the main protein in HDL cholesterol. Higher levels are generally linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. This test helps assess heart health and lipid metabolism.

: Serum
Also Known As: Apo A1 and B Test, Apolipoprotein Evaluation Test

The Apolipoprotein A1 and B Test measures ApoA1, the main protein in HDL, and ApoB, found in LDL and other atherogenic particles. The results help assess cardiovascular risk, lipid balance, and guide heart disease prevention or treatment strategies.

Also Known As: Apo B Test, Apolipoprotein B-100 Test

The Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) Test measures the level of ApoB, a protein found in LDL and other atherogenic lipoproteins. High levels are linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, making it useful for assessing heart disease risk and guiding lipid management.

Also Known As: Brain Natriuretic Peptide Test

The B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) Test measures BNP levels in the blood, a hormone released by the heart when it is under strain. Elevated BNP can indicate heart failure or other cardiac conditions. This test helps diagnose and monitor heart failure, evaluate severity, and guide treatment decisions.

Also Known As: BMP Test, Chemistry Panel, Chemistry Screen, Chem 7, Chem 11, SMA 7, SMAC7, Basic Metabolic Test, Chem Test, Chem Panel Test 

The Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP) measures blood sugar, electrolytes, and kidney function markers to assess overall metabolic health. It helps detect imbalances, monitor conditions like diabetes or kidney disease, and guide treatment decisions.

Also Known As: Urea Nitrogen and Creatinine Ratio test, BUN test, Urea test, Urea Nitrogen test, Creat test, Blood Creatinine Test, Serum Creatinine Test
The BUN/Creatinine Ratio test measures the ratio of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) to creatinine in the blood. BUN and creatinine are waste products produced by the breakdown of protein and muscle metabolism in the body. This test provides valuable information about kidney function and overall health.

Discover Heart Problems Early With Heart and Cardiovascular Tests

One person dies every 36 seconds in the United States from cardiovascular disease.

That may seem like a shocking statistic, but what's more surprising is that cardiovascular disease is also the leading cause of death in the US.

Thankfully, by utilizing blood testing for cardiovascular diseases, you can learn your risk factors and make changes in your life to help prevent future heart problems.

So, what is cardiovascular disease, and which heart and cardiovascular tests are used to help diagnose it? Keep reading to learn more about this deadly disease and how to prevent it.

What is Heart and Cardiovascular Disease?

Cardiovascular disease is a type of disease that affects the heart muscle or blood vessels. Heart and Cardiovascular Disease refers to several different conditions, such as heart failure, stroke, heart attack, and more. The most common type of cardiovascular disease in the US is Coronary Artery Disease.
