Community Healthcare Clinics - Labtests
Community Healthcare Clinics offers a wide range of lab tests and diagnostic services.
Iron
Iron is a crucial mineral in the body that plays an essential role in oxygen transport, energy production, and various other metabolic processes. It is a vital component of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and organs throughout the body.
Iron Studies
Iron studies is a group of blood tests that assess iron levels, storage, and transport in the body. These tests help diagnose iron deficiency, iron overload, and disorders like anemia.
Keton
A ketone test is a test that measures the level of ketones in your body, usually through a sample of urine, blood, or breath. Ketones are byproducts of fat breakdown, produced when the body uses fat as an energy source instead of carbohydrates. Monitoring ketone levels is especially important for people on ketogenic diets, individuals with diabetes, or those experiencing certain metabolic conditions.
KLB (Diphtheria) for Smear
A smear for KLB (Klebs-Löffler Bacilli) is used to detect Corynebacterium diphtheriae, the bacterium causing diphtheria. A throat or nasopharyngeal swab is examined microscopically after gram staining to identify the characteristic club-shaped bacilli.
Knee Aspirate D/R + Gram Stain + AFB
The Knee Aspirate D/R + Gram Stain + AFB test refers to a diagnostic procedure and laboratory analysis of synovial fluid (joint fluid) obtained from the knee joint. This test is performed to assess for infections or other abnormalities in the joint, such as septic arthritis or tuberculous arthritis.
LDH
LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase) is an enzyme found in almost every cell in the body, with particularly high concentrations in the heart, liver, kidneys, muscles, and red blood cells. LDH plays a critical role in energy production, as it helps convert lactate to pyruvate in the process of anaerobic metabolism, which occurs when oxygen is scarce.
Lipase
Lipase is an enzyme produced primarily by the pancreas and, to a lesser extent, by the salivary glands and stomach. Its primary role is to help digest fats in the food we eat by breaking down triglycerides (fats) into fatty acids and glycerol, which the body can then absorb.
Lipid profile
A lipid profile is a common blood test that healthcare providers use to monitor and screen for your risk of cardiovascular disease. A lipid profile is a blood test that measures the amount of certain fat molecules called lipids in your blood. The panel includes three measurements of your cholesterol levels and the measurement of your triglycerides.
Lithium
Lithium is a chemical element and a medication used primarily in the treatment of bipolar disorder. It is one of the most well-known mood stabilizers and is used to help control mood swings in people with this condition, preventing episodes of mania (elevated mood) and depression.
Liver Abscess D/R+Gramstain+Afb
A Liver Abscess D/R + Gram Stain + AFB Test is a combination of diagnostic tests conducted on a sample taken from a liver abscess. This combination aims to identify the cause of the abscess, whether bacterial, parasitic, or fungal, by analyzing the pus and tissue from the abscess.
LIVER FUNCTION TESTS - LFT
Liver functions test (LFT) also known as a liver panel are blood tests that measure different enzymes, proteins, and other substances made by the liver. These tests check the overall health of your liver.
Low density lipids (LDL)
Low-Density Lipoproteins (LDL) are often referred to as "bad cholesterol" because high levels of LDL in the blood can lead to the buildup of fatty deposits (plaque) in the walls of arteries. This buildup can narrow and harden the arteries, a condition known as atherosclerosis, which increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular problems.
