Description:
Anemia is a blood disorder that is defined as: having fewer red blood cells than normal, or having less hemoglobin than normal (hemoglobin is the part of red blood cells that carries oxygen).

Iron deficiency anemia is one of the most common forms of anemia.
Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.

Chloride
*Build Your Own Panel Eligible [?]
|

|
Info
|
|
Description:
The Chloride Test is a blood test used to measure the level of chloride, an important electrolyte. Serum chloride is the major extracellular anion and counter-balances the major cation, sodium, maintaining electrical neutrality of the body fluids. Two thirds of the total anion concentration in extracellular fluids is chloride and it is significantly involved in maintaining proper hydration and osmotic pressure. Movement of chloride ions across the red blood cell membrane is essential for the transport of biocarbonate ions in response to changing concentrations of carbon dioxide. Chloride measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of electrolyte and metabolic disorders such as cystic fibrosis and diabetic acidosis.
Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.

Description:
This test is used to determine a person's blood type and Rh factor. Knowing your blood type is important in case you ever need a blood transfusion or organ transplant. A mismatched blood transfusion can result in serious health issues and even death, so it's crucial to have this information on file.
ABO grouping and Rho(D) typing are also crucial for assessing the risk of hemolytic disease in a newborn, which can be fatal if not caught and treated early on. This test can also indicate the need for Rh immune globulin, which can prevent complications during pregnancy if the mother is Rh-negative and her fetus is Rh-positive.

Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST/SGOT)
*Build Your Own Panel Eligible [?]

Info
|
|
Description:
Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme produced by the liver. The AST test is commonly used to determine liver damage.
AST is widely distributed throughout the tissues with significant amounts being in the heart and liver. Lesser amounts are found in skeletal muscles, kidneys, pancreas, spleen, lungs, and brain. Injury to these tissues results in the release of the AST enzyme to general circulation. In myocardial infarction, serum AST may begin to rise within 6-8 hours after onset, peak within two days and return to normal by the fourth or fifth day post infarction. An increase in serum AST is also found with hepatitis, liver necrosis, cirrhosis, and liver metastasis.
Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.

*Build Your Own Panel Eligible [?]
|

|
Info
|
|
Description:
The Iron Test with Total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) can detect how much iron is in the blood. Serum iron quantification is useful in confirming the diagnosis of iron-deficiency anemia or hemochromatosis. The measurement of total iron binding in the same specimen may facilitate the clinician's ability to distinguish between low serum iron levels caused by iron deficiency from those related to inflammatory neoplastic disorders. The assay for iron measures the amount of iron which is bound to transferrin. The total iron binding capacity (TIBC) measures the amount of iron that would appear in blood if all the transferrin were saturated with iron. It is an indirect measurement of transferrin concentrations but expressed as an iron measurement. To obtain the percent saturation, the serum iron is divided by the TIBC which gives the actual amount of saturated transferrin. The percent saturation is low in iron deficiency and high in iron storage diseases.
A significant deviation from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.
Includes:
Total Iron,
Iron Binding Capacity,
% Saturation (calculated)
Patient Instructions:
Specimens should be collected in the morning from patients in a fasting state, since iron values decrease by 30% during the course of the day and there can be significant interference from lipemia.
