Renal Function

The Liver Function Panel, also known as a Hepatic Function Panel, measures proteins, enzymes, and bilirubin to assess liver health and function. It helps detect liver disease, monitor liver conditions, and evaluate the effects of medications or other factors on liver performance.

The Liver and Kidney Function Panel measures blood sugar, electrolytes, proteins, and markers of liver and kidney health. It helps detect disease, monitor conditions, and guide treatment decisions.

The Albumin 24 Hour Urine with Creatinine Test measures albumin and creatinine excretion over 24 hours to evaluate kidney function. Elevated albumin (albuminuria) may signal early kidney disease, diabetes-related damage, or hypertension. By comparing albumin to creatinine, this test accounts for urine concentration and improves accuracy. Doctors use it to detect kidney injury, monitor chronic disease, and guide treatment or prevention strategies.

The Albumin 24 Hour Urine Test evaluates the amount of albumin released in urine during a full day, serving as an indicator of kidney health. High albumin levels can signal early kidney damage from diabetes, hypertension, or chronic kidney disease. Collecting urine over 24 hours improves accuracy by reflecting daily fluctuations, offering important insight for detecting renal impairment, monitoring progression, and supporting long-term care.

The Albumin Random Urine Test measures the amount of albumin, a protein that can leak into urine when the kidneys are damaged. Elevated levels may indicate early kidney disease, often linked to diabetes, hypertension, or other chronic conditions. Doctors use this test to detect albuminuria, monitor kidney function, and guide treatment strategies. A random urine sample makes it a convenient tool for screening and long-term kidney health assessment.

The Albumin Random Urine Test with Creatinine measures albumin and creatinine levels in a urine sample to evaluate kidney health. Elevated albumin (microalbuminuria) may indicate early kidney disease, diabetes complications, or hypertension-related damage. Doctors use this test to detect kidney problems before symptoms appear, monitor chronic conditions, and guide treatment. It provides vital insight into renal function and long-term kidney disease management.

The Albumin Timed Urine Test measures albumin levels excreted during a set time period to evaluate kidney function and detect early protein loss. Elevated results may indicate diabetic nephropathy, hypertension-related damage, or glomerular disease. This test supports monitoring of renal health, guiding detection of microalbuminuria and helping assess risks of chronic kidney disease or cardiovascular complications.

The Albumin Creatinine Ratio Timed Urine Test measures albumin and creatinine levels in a timed urine sample to evaluate kidney function. Elevated albumin excretion can indicate early kidney damage, diabetic nephropathy, or hypertension-related disease. By analyzing the albumin-to-creatinine ratio, this test provides insight into kidney filtration, urinary protein loss, and overall renal health monitoring.

The Neopterin Serum Test measures levels of neopterin, a marker released by activated macrophages in response to interferon-gamma. Elevated concentrations reflect immune system activation and may indicate viral infections, autoimmune disease, cancer, or transplant rejection risk. This test helps clinicians assess cellular immune response, track inflammatory activity, and evaluate disease progression or treatment monitoring.

The Prolactin, Dilution Study measures prolactin levels using dilution techniques to correct assay interference. This test improves accuracy when unusually high prolactin is present, distinguishing genuine hyperprolactinemia from laboratory artifact. It aids in evaluating pituitary adenomas, reproductive hormone imbalance, infertility, and endocrine-related disorders with reliable, clinically useful results.

The Protein Total 24-Hour Urine with Creatinine Test measures the amount of protein and creatinine excreted in urine over 24 hours. Elevated protein levels may indicate kidney disease, diabetic nephropathy, hypertension, or other renal disorders. Doctors use this test to evaluate kidney function, detect proteinuria, and monitor treatment response. Combining protein and creatinine helps ensure accurate results, making it essential for assessing long-term kidney health.

The Protein Total Random Urine with Creatinine Test measures protein and creatinine levels in a single urine sample to evaluate kidney function. Elevated protein may signal kidney disease, diabetes complications, or hypertension-related damage. Doctors order this test for patients with swelling, high blood pressure, or abnormal lab results. Results help detect proteinuria, assess renal health, and guide treatment or monitoring of chronic kidney conditions.

The PTH Intact Test measures intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in blood to evaluate parathyroid gland function and calcium balance. Abnormal PTH may indicate hyperparathyroidism, hypoparathyroidism, kidney disease, or vitamin D imbalance. Doctors use this test to investigate osteoporosis, kidney stones, or unexplained calcium abnormalities. Results provide vital insight into endocrine function, bone metabolism, and overall calcium regulation.

The Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) Test measures urea nitrogen levels in blood to assess kidney function and how well the body removes waste. Elevated BUN may indicate kidney disease, dehydration, heart failure, or high protein intake, while low levels may suggest liver disease or malnutrition. Doctors order this test to evaluate fatigue, swelling, or abnormal lab results. Results help diagnose kidney and liver conditions and guide treatment decisions.

The Urea Nitrogen 24 Hour Urine Test measures nitrogen excreted over a full day to evaluate protein metabolism and kidney function. Elevated levels may reflect high protein intake, catabolic states, or certain metabolic conditions, while decreased levels can indicate malnutrition, liver disease, or impaired renal function. This test provides valuable insight into nutritional balance, metabolic health, and renal performance.

The Urea Nitrogen Random Urine Test measures nitrogen excretion from protein metabolism to help evaluate kidney function, hydration status, and nutritional balance. Abnormal results may reflect renal impairment, dehydration, liver disease, or malnutrition. By analyzing a single urine sample, this test provides insights into metabolic health and supports assessment of protein utilization and overall renal function.

The Uric Acid Test measures uric acid levels in blood to assess kidney function and detect gout, a form of arthritis caused by uric acid buildup. High levels may also signal kidney disease, kidney stones, or metabolic disorders, while low levels can occur with liver disease. Doctors use this test to investigate joint pain, swelling, or frequent urination, and to monitor treatment for gout, kidney stones, or chemotherapy-related complications.

The Urinalysis Test with Reflex to Microscopic screens urine for abnormalities in color, clarity, pH, protein, glucose, blood, and more. If results are abnormal, a microscopic exam is performed to detect cells, bacteria, crystals, or casts. Doctors order this test to evaluate urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, or metabolic disorders. Results provide essential insight into urinary tract and overall renal health for diagnosis and monitoring.

 The Urinalysis Complete and Uric Acid Panel is a diagnostic tool combining a comprehensive Urinalysis Complete with a Uric Acid test to assess kidney function, detect urinary tract disorders, and evaluate uric acid levels in the blood, which can contribute to conditions like gout and kidney stones.

The Urinalysis Macroscopic Test examines urine for color, clarity, and appearance to help identify possible kidney or urinary tract issues. Abnormal results may indicate infection, dehydration, liver disease, or metabolic conditions. Doctors use this test as a first step in evaluating urinary symptoms, monitoring overall health, or detecting early signs of medical problems that may require further testing and treatment.

The Urinalysis Microscopic Test examines urine under a microscope to detect cells, crystals, casts, bacteria, and other substances. Doctors use this test to evaluate urinary tract infections, kidney disease, or metabolic disorders. It helps identify causes of blood in urine, proteinuria, or abnormal results from standard urinalysis. Results provide valuable insight into kidney function, urinary tract health, and underlying medical conditions requiring further care.
