Community Healthcare Clinics - Labtests
Community Healthcare Clinics offers a wide range of lab tests and diagnostic services.
24 Hrs Urinary Amylase
The 24-Hour Urinary Amylase test measures the amount of amylase (an enzyme that helps break down carbohydrates) in a person's urine over a 24-hour period. Amylase is produced primarily by the salivary glands and the pancreas, and its presence in urine can provide valuable information about certain conditions affecting these organs, particularly the pancreas.
24 Hrs Urinary Phosphorus
The 24-hour urinary phosphorus test measures the amount of phosphorus excreted in the urine over a 24-hour period. This test can help assess phosphorus balance in the body and evaluate kidney function, bone health, and potential metabolic disorders.
24 Hrs Urinary Potasium
A 24-hour urinary potassium test measures the amount of potassium excreted in urine over a 24-hour period. This test is commonly used to assess kidney function, evaluate electrolyte balance, and help diagnose certain health conditions, such as high blood pressure, adrenal gland disorders, or conditions causing potassium loss or excess.
24 Hrs Urinary Sodium
A 24-hour urinary sodium test is a diagnostic test that measures the amount of sodium excreted in urine over a 24-hour period. This test provides valuable information about how much sodium your kidneys are filtering out of your blood, which can be an indicator of your body's sodium balance and help assess kidney function, hydration status, and certain medical conditions.
24 Hrs Urinary Uric Acid
The 24-hour urinary uric acid test is a diagnostic test that measures the amount of uric acid excreted in urine over a 24-hour period. Uric acid is a waste product formed when the body breaks down purines, which are substances found in certain foods and drinks (such as red meat, seafood, and alcohol) and are also naturally present in the body.
24-Hour Urinary Micro Albumin
The 24-Hour Urinary Microalbumin test is a diagnostic test used to measure the amount of albumin (a type of protein) in the urine over a 24-hour period. Microalbuminuria refers to the presence of small amounts of albumin in the urine, which can be an early indicator of kidney damage, especially in individuals with conditions like diabetes or hypertension.
Abdomen (KUB)
Abdomen (KUB): A KUB (Kidneys, Ureters, and Bladder) X-ray is a diagnostic imaging test used to evaluate the abdominal area, focusing on the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. It helps detect issues like kidney stones, urinary tract obstructions, or other abdominal concerns. This non-invasive test provides quick insights for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Abdomen Erect Position
Abdomen Erect Position: An abdominal X-ray in the erect position is performed while the patient is standing. This imaging technique is primarily used to detect air-fluid levels, free air in the abdominal cavity, or intestinal blockages. It helps diagnose conditions like perforations, obstructions, or infections in the abdomen.
Adenoids
Adenoids X-ray: An adenoids X-ray is a diagnostic imaging test used to evaluate the size and position of the adenoids. It helps identify enlargement or blockages that may cause breathing issues, snoring, or recurrent infections, aiding in diagnosis and treatment planning.
AFB Smear
The AFB Smear (Acid-Fast Bacilli Smear) is a test used to detect the presence of acid-fast bacteria (AFB) in a patient's sample, typically sputum, urine, or tissue. This test is particularly useful in diagnosing tuberculosis (TB) and other infections caused by acid-fast bacteria like Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium leprae (which causes leprosy).
Albumin
Albumin is a type of protein that is produced by the liver and is the most abundant protein in blood plasma. It plays a vital role in maintaining the osmotic pressure (the pressure exerted by proteins) that helps to regulate the distribution of fluids between the blood vessels and the tissues. Albumin also has several other important functions in the body.
Alkaline Phosphatase
Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme found throughout the body, but particularly in the liver, bones, kidneys, and bile ducts. It plays a role in breaking down proteins and is involved in various metabolic processes, such as the transport of phosphate groups across cell membranes. The enzyme is most abundant in tissues that are involved in bone growth, liver function, and bile production.
