: Serum
Also Known As: Phosphorus Test, Phosphate Test, PO4 Test
Add to  
: Plasma-Unspecified Vial Pour
 The Plasma Renin Activity (PRA) test measures the activity of the enzyme renin in the blood. Renin is produced by the kidneys and plays a pivotal role in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), a hormone system that helps regulate blood pressure and fluid balance.
Add to  
: Plasma-Unspecified Vial Pour
 The Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) test measures the level of PAI-1 in the blood. PAI-1 is a protein that plays a pivotal role in the body's fibrinolytic system, which is responsible for breaking down clots. Specifically, PAI-1 inhibits tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and urokinase (uPA), both of which are enzymes that convert plasminogen to plasmin, an enzyme that breaks down fibrin clots. An imbalance in PAI-1 levels can thus affect the body's ability to regulate clot formation and dissolution.

Also Known As: Brain Natriuretic Peptide Test, proBNP test,
The N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) test is a crucial diagnostic tool used to measure the levels of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide in the blood. NT-proBNP is released by the heart in response to increased pressure and stretching of the heart muscle. This test plays a significant role in assessing cardiac health and diagnosing various heart-related conditions.
Add to  
: Serum
 The Proinsulin test measures the amount of proinsulin in the blood. Proinsulin is a precursor molecule to insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas' beta cells. After its production, proinsulin gets split into two parts: insulin and C-peptide. While insulin aids in glucose uptake by cells, proinsulin itself is typically present in very low levels in the blood.
Add to  
: Urine
 The Protein Total 24-Hour Urine with Creatinine test is a diagnostic assessment that measures the total amount of protein and creatinine levels in urine collected over a 24-hour period. By analyzing the content of proteins and creatinine in the urine over an entire day, this test provides valuable insight into kidney function and potential abnormalities.
Add to  
: Urine
Add to  
: Random
 The Protein Total Random Urine with Creatinine test is a diagnostic assay that measures the level of protein in a random urine sample, normalized to the concentration of creatinine. This test provides insights into kidney health by evaluating protein excretion and identifying potential kidney disorders.

Also Known As: Retic Count Reticulocyte Percent Test, Reticulocyte Index Test, Corrected Reticulocyte Test, Reticulocyte Production Index Test, RPI Test
The reticulocyte count test is a laboratory test used to measure the number of reticulocytes in the blood. Reticulocytes are immature red blood cells that are released into the bloodstream from the bone marrow. This test provides valuable information about the production and maturation of red blood cells.

: Serum
Also Known As: RF Test, Rheumatoid Arthritis Factor Test
The Rheumatoid Factor (RF) test is a blood test that measures the levels of rheumatoid factor antibodies in the bloodstream. Rheumatoid factor is an antibody produced by the immune system, and its presence can indicate the presence of autoimmune conditions, particularly rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The RF test is commonly used as an initial screening tool for RA, although it is not specific to this disease.
Add to  
 The Rheumatoid Factor IgG IgM IgA Antibodies Test is a diagnostic procedure designed to detect and measure the levels of Rheumatoid Factor (RF) antibodies, specifically the IgG, IgM, and IgA types, in the blood. Rheumatoid factors are proteins produced by the immune system that can attack healthy tissue in the body.
Add to  
: Serum
 The Rheumatoid Factor IgA Antibody test is a blood test that measures the level of IgA antibodies targeting rheumatoid factor in the blood. Rheumatoid factor is an autoantibody, which means it's produced by the body's immune system against its own tissues. Elevated levels of rheumatoid factor can indicate autoimmune conditions, particularly rheumatoid arthritis.
Add to  
: Serum
Also Known As: RF Antibody Test, Rheumatoid Arthritis Factor Antibody Test, RF IgG Test, RF IgG Antibody Test, Rheumatoid Factor IgG Antibody Test
The Rheumatoid Factor IgG Antibody test is a blood test used to detect the presence of Rheumatoid Factor (RF) antibodies in the blood. Rheumatoid Factor is an autoantibody produced by the immune system that targets healthy tissues, particularly the synovium (lining of joints). The test measures the level of IgG antibodies specifically targeting RF.

: Serum
A Selenium test measures the levels of selenium in a person's blood, urine, or other body fluids. Selenium is an essential trace element that plays a crucial role as an antioxidant, enzyme cofactor, and in thyroid hormone metabolism. It is obtained through diet, and its levels in the body can vary depending on various factors, including diet, age, and geographical location.
Add to  
: Blood
 The Selenium RBC test measures the level of selenium in red blood cells (RBCs). Selenium is an essential trace element that plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, including antioxidant defense, thyroid hormone metabolism, and immune function. The test provides valuable information about the body's selenium status over a more extended period compared to measuring selenium levels in plasma or serum.
Add to  
: Serum
Also Known As: Na Test, Sodium Serum Test
The Sodium test, also known as a serum sodium test, measures the concentration of sodium in the blood. Sodium is an essential electrolyte in the body, and this test helps assess the balance of sodium levels in the bloodstream. Sodium plays a critical role in maintaining proper fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contractions.

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.
