Frequently Asked Questions

Clinical Chemistry

Clinical Chemistry test focuses on the measurement of chemical and biochemical components in body fluids (primarily blood, but also urine, CSF, etc.) to assess organ function, diagnose diseases, monitor treatment effectiveness, and screen for various conditions.

Immunoassay

Immunoassay is a biochemical test that measures the presence or concentration of a macromolecule (or a small molecule) in a solution through the use of an antibody or an antigen. It leverages the highly specific binding between antibodies and antigens.

Clinical Importance

Organ Function Assessment

Key for evaluating kidney, liver, heart, and pancreatic function.

Disease Diagnosis

Diagnosing diabetes, hyperlipidemia, electrolyte imbalances, metabolic disorders, and certain types of organ damage.

Treatment Monitoring

Tracking the effectiveness of medications (e.g., for diabetes, cholesterol) or the progression of a disease.

Screening

Identifying individuals at risk for certain conditions.

Immunoassay

Immunoassay is a biochemical test that measures the presence or concentration of a macromolecule (or a small molecule) in a solution through the use of an antibody or an antigen. It leverages the highly specific binding between antibodies and antigens.

Hormones

Autoantibodies

Screening for illicit substances.

Infectious Disease Markers

Antibodies to viruses (HIV, Hepatitis, COVID-19), viral antigens.

Tumor Markers

PSA (prostate), CEA (colon), CA-125 (ovarian), AFP (liver/germ cell).

Therapeutic Drugs

Levels of certain medications in the blood (e.g., digoxin, phenytoin).

Drugs of Abuse

Screening for illicit substances.

Clinical Importance

Endocrine Disorders

Diagnosing and monitoring thyroid disorders, diabetes, adrenal issues, and reproductive health.

Cancer Diagnosis & Monitoring

Detecting tumor markers to aid in diagnosis, staging, and monitoring recurrence.

Infectious Disease Diagnosis

Identifying active infections or past exposures by detecting antigens or antibodies.

Cardiac Risk Assessment

Measuring specific markers for heart failure or acute coronary syndromes.

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring

Ensuring patients receive optimal drug dosages.

Nutritional Status

Assessing vitamin levels.
