It is used to diagnose diabetes, identify prediabetes, and monitor long-term blood sugar control. Doctors rely on the HbA1c test to evaluate treatment effectiveness, guide adjustments, and assess risk for complications, making it essential for diabetes care and metabolic health screening.

The Homocysteine Test measures homocysteine levels in blood to assess risk for heart disease, stroke, and vascular problems. Elevated homocysteine may result from vitamin B6, B12, or folate deficiency and is linked to blood clots, cognitive decline, and osteoporosis. Doctors use this test to evaluate cardiovascular risk, monitor nutritional deficiencies, and guide treatment for metabolic or genetic conditions affecting homocysteine metabolism.

The Indican Urine Test measures indican, a byproduct of protein breakdown by intestinal bacteria. Elevated levels may indicate poor digestion, malabsorption, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), or gastrointestinal disorders. Doctors use this test to evaluate gut health, investigate symptoms like bloating, gas, or fatigue, and monitor treatment for digestive imbalances. It provides valuable insight into intestinal function, metabolism, and overall digestive health.

The Insulin Test measures insulin levels in blood to assess how the body regulates glucose and metabolism. It helps diagnose insulin resistance, hypoglycemia, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Doctors also use it to evaluate pancreatic function and monitor treatment effectiveness. Frequently ordered with glucose testing, the insulin test provides critical insight into endocrine health, blood sugar control, and risk for diabetes-related complications.

The Iron Total and Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) Test measures iron levels in blood along with the blood’s ability to transport iron. It helps diagnose iron deficiency anemia, iron overload (hemochromatosis), and monitor nutritional or chronic health conditions. Low iron or high TIBC may indicate anemia, while high iron or low TIBC can suggest overload. Doctors use this test to evaluate fatigue, weakness, or other symptoms linked to iron and metabolic health.

The Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) Test measures LDH enzyme levels in blood to assess tissue damage and overall health. Elevated LDH may indicate conditions such as liver disease, heart attack, anemia, infections, or certain cancers, while low levels are uncommon. Doctors use this test to help diagnose disease, monitor treatment effectiveness, and track cell damage. It provides valuable insight into metabolic activity and organ function.

Often part of routine exams, it provides insight into long-term heart and metabolic health.

The Methylmalonic Acid (MMA) Blood Test measures MMA levels in the bloodstream to help detect vitamin B12 deficiency, often before anemia or neurological symptoms appear. Elevated results may indicate poor B12 absorption, pernicious anemia, or metabolic disorders. Doctors order this test when patients present with fatigue, neuropathy, or unexplained anemia. Results provide early insight into nutritional status, metabolic health, and treatment needs.

The Phosphate (as Phosphorus) Test measures phosphorus levels in blood to evaluate bone strength, energy metabolism, and kidney health. Abnormal levels may indicate kidney disease, vitamin D imbalance, parathyroid disorders, or malnutrition. Doctors order this test to investigate fatigue, muscle weakness, or bone problems and to monitor conditions like chronic kidney disease. It provides key insight into metabolic, endocrine, and bone health.

The Pregnenolone Test measures pregnenolone levels in blood, a precursor hormone used to make cortisol, DHEA, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Abnormal levels may indicate adrenal disorders, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, or pituitary problems. Doctors order this test to evaluate unexplained fatigue, infertility, or hormone imbalance and to monitor adrenal health. Results provide vital insight into endocrine function, steroid production, and overall hormonal balance.

The Progesterone Test measures progesterone levels in blood to evaluate ovulation, fertility, and menstrual health. It helps confirm whether ovulation has occurred, assess causes of infertility, and monitor hormone therapy or high-risk pregnancies. Doctors also use it to investigate abnormal bleeding, detect ovarian or adrenal disorders, and evaluate miscarriage risk. This test provides key insight into reproductive, hormonal, and overall endocrine health.

The T3 Free Test measures free triiodothyronine (T3), the active thyroid hormone not bound to proteins, to assess thyroid function. It helps diagnose hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, goiter, and pituitary disorders. Doctors order this test to evaluate symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, anxiety, or irregular heartbeat and to monitor thyroid replacement or antithyroid therapy. The Free T3 Test provides key insight into metabolism, energy regulation, and overall endocrine health.

The T4 Free Test measures the level of free thyroxine (T4) in blood, the active thyroid hormone not bound to proteins. It helps diagnose thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and goiter, as well as pituitary conditions affecting hormone regulation. Doctors use this test to evaluate symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, hair loss, or irregular heartbeat and to monitor thyroid replacement or antithyroid therapy, providing insight into metabolic and endocrine health.

The Testosterone Free and Total Test measures total testosterone and free, bioavailable testosterone in blood for both men and women. It helps diagnose hormone imbalance, infertility, low libido, erectile dysfunction in men, irregular periods, or PCOS in women. Doctors also order it to assess fatigue, mood changes, or muscle weakness and to monitor hormone therapy. This test provides key insight into reproductive, endocrine, and overall metabolic health.

The Testosterone Free, Bioavailable, and Total Test measures total testosterone, free testosterone, and bioavailable testosterone, along with sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and albumin. This test provides a complete evaluation of hormone balance in men and women. Doctors use it to assess infertility, erectile dysfunction, low libido, PCOS, fatigue, or muscle loss and to monitor hormone therapy. Results offer key insight into reproductive, endocrine, and metabolic health.

The Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPOAb) Test detects antibodies that target thyroid peroxidase, an enzyme vital for thyroid hormone production. High levels often indicate autoimmune thyroid disorders such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or Graves’ disease. Doctors order this test to evaluate symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, hair loss, or irregular heartbeat and to confirm thyroid disease. It provides key insight into autoimmune activity and overall thyroid health.

The Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Test measures TSH levels in blood to assess thyroid function and diagnose hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. It evaluates how the thyroid controls metabolism, energy, weight, and heart rate. Doctors use the TSH test to investigate symptoms such as fatigue, hair loss, or mood changes. Frequently included in routine health exams, it is also key for monitoring thyroid disease treatment and overall endocrine balance.

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 Vitamin B12 Micronutrient Test measures blood levels of vitamin B12, essential for red blood cell production, nerve health, and DNA synthesis. Deficiency can cause anemia, fatigue, neurological issues, and cognitive changes. This test helps identify dietary deficiencies, absorption problems, or related health conditions, supporting diagnosis and ongoing management of overall wellness.

Patient must be 18 years of age or older.

The Vitamin B12 Test measures cobalamin levels in blood to evaluate nutritional health, red blood cell production, and nervous system function. Low B12 can cause anemia, fatigue, weakness, memory problems, and nerve damage, while high levels may indicate liver or kidney disease.
