All Hormone and Adrenal Tests

The ACTH Test measures adrenocorticotropic hormone in blood to evaluate pituitary and adrenal gland function. Abnormal ACTH levels may indicate Cushing’s syndrome, Addison’s disease, adrenal tumors, or pituitary disorders. Doctors order this test to investigate symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, weakness, or high blood pressure. Results provide vital insight into endocrine health, cortisol regulation, and adrenal-pituitary balance.

The Adiponectin Test measures adiponectin, a hormone made by fat cells that helps regulate glucose levels and fatty acid breakdown. Low adiponectin is linked to insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. Doctors use this test to evaluate metabolic health, assess risk for diabetes or heart disease, and monitor patients with weight-related or endocrine disorders. Results help guide prevention and treatment strategies.

The Aldosterone 24 Hour Urine Test evaluates adrenal hormone output across 24 hours, offering information about blood pressure regulation, fluid balance, and electrolyte control. Elevated or low levels may suggest primary aldosteronism, adrenal tumors, or secondary hypertension. This test supports assessment of kidney function, cardiovascular health, and endocrine disorders linked to aldosterone imbalance.

The Aldosterone Test measures levels of aldosterone, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that helps regulate blood pressure, sodium, and potassium balance. Abnormal levels may indicate primary aldosteronism, adrenal tumors, kidney disease, or secondary hypertension. Doctors use this blood test to investigate high blood pressure, electrolyte imbalances, or suspected adrenal disorders, helping guide diagnosis, treatment, and long-term patient management.

The Aldosterone and Plasma Renin Activity Ratio Test measures levels of aldosterone and renin to assess adrenal and kidney function. An elevated ratio may indicate primary aldosteronism, a common cause of secondary hypertension. Doctors use this test to evaluate patients with high blood pressure, low potassium, or suspected adrenal disorders. Results help diagnose conditions like Conn’s syndrome, guide treatment, and reduce cardiovascular risks from uncontrolled hypertension.

The Amylase Test measures amylase enzyme levels in blood to evaluate pancreatic and digestive health. Elevated amylase may indicate pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, intestinal blockage, or salivary gland disorders, while low levels may suggest chronic pancreatitis or liver damage. Doctors order this test to investigate abdominal pain, nausea, or fever. Results provide vital insight into pancreatic function, digestive disorders, and overall metabolic health.

The Androstenedione Test measures levels of this steroid hormone, produced by the adrenal glands and ovaries or testes, which converts into testosterone and estrogen. Abnormal results may indicate PCOS, adrenal tumors, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, or ovarian/testicular disorders. Doctors order this test for irregular periods, infertility, excess hair growth, or early puberty. Results provide key insight into hormone balance, adrenal function, and reproductive health.

The Female Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) Test measures AMH levels in blood to evaluate ovarian reserve and fertility potential. AMH reflects the number of eggs remaining and helps predict response to fertility treatments such as IVF. Doctors use this test to assess reproductive lifespan, investigate irregular cycles, or diagnose conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Results provide key insight into fertility, ovarian health, and reproductive planning.

The Male Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) Test measures AMH levels in blood to assess testicular function, fertility, and hormone balance. In men, AMH is produced by Sertoli cells and plays a role in reproductive development. Doctors use this test to evaluate sperm production, investigate infertility, or assess disorders of sexual development. Results provide key insight into reproductive health, testicular activity, and overall endocrine function.

The Apolipoprotein A1 and B Test measures Apo A1, the main protein in HDL cholesterol, and Apo B, the primary protein in LDL and VLDL cholesterol. Together, these markers and the ApoB/A1 ratio provide a clearer picture of cardiovascular risk than standard lipid panels. High ApoB or low Apo A1 may signal heart disease, stroke, or atherosclerosis. Doctors use this test to evaluate cholesterol balance, monitor therapy, and guide prevention of cardiovascular conditions.

The Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP) Test measures eight markers, including glucose, calcium, sodium, potassium, chloride, carbon dioxide, BUN, and creatinine, to evaluate kidney function, blood sugar, and electrolyte balance. Doctors use this panel to detect diabetes, dehydration, and kidney disease, or to monitor treatment. It is commonly ordered in routine exams, emergency care, or pre-surgical testing to assess overall metabolic and organ health.

The Basic Metabolic Panel Plasma Test measures key blood chemistries including glucose, calcium, sodium, potassium, chloride, carbon dioxide, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine. These markers provide insight into kidney function, electrolyte balance, and metabolic health. Clinicians often use the results to assess conditions such as dehydration, renal disease, or metabolic disorders and to monitor overall systemic health.

The Beta-2-Glycoprotein I IgG IgA IgM Antibodies Test detects autoantibodies linked to antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), a disorder that increases risk of abnormal blood clotting. Measuring all three antibody classes provides a thorough evaluation of immune activity. Elevated results may be associated with recurrent miscarriages, venous or arterial thrombosis, and autoimmune conditions, supporting diagnosis and monitoring of clotting-related disorders.

The Bilirubin Direct Test measures conjugated bilirubin in the blood to assess liver function and bile duct health. Elevated levels may indicate hepatitis, cirrhosis, gallstones, or bile duct obstruction, while low levels are generally normal. Doctors order this test for patients with jaundice, fatigue, or suspected liver disease. Results help diagnose and monitor liver disorders, guide treatment decisions, and evaluate overall hepatic and biliary health.

The Fractionated Bilirubin Test separates total bilirubin into direct and indirect forms to assess liver and blood health. Elevated direct bilirubin may point to hepatitis, cirrhosis, or bile duct obstruction, while elevated indirect levels can signal hemolytic anemia or inherited disorders. Doctors order this test for jaundice, anemia, or suspected liver conditions. Results help guide diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of liver and blood disorders.

The Bilirubin Total Test measures the overall level of bilirubin in blood to assess liver function, red blood cell breakdown, and bile duct health. Elevated bilirubin may cause jaundice and indicate hepatitis, cirrhosis, gallstones, or hemolytic anemia. Doctors order this test for patients with yellowing skin, fatigue, or abnormal liver results. Results provide essential insight into liver disease, blood disorders, and bile flow problems, guiding diagnosis and treatment.
