LABORATORY TESTS

The list of tests that our laboratory can perform includes, but is not limited to the following. Please do ask for further information if the test you require is not listed below.

BIOCHEMISTRY

The following tests are useful to help the medical practitioner to diagnose potential problems with different organs such as the heart, the kidneys and the liver. They also help monitor inflammation and the effect of treatment.

  • Cardiac Enzymes

  • C-Reactive Protein (CRP)

  • Electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium, Chloride)

  • Ferritin

  • Folate

  • Fecal Occult Blood (FOB)

  • Glycated Haemoglobin (HbA1C)

  • Iron

  • Kidney Function Test (Urea, Creatinine, Uric Acid, Sodium, Potassium, Chloride) 

  • Liver Function Test (LFT) - (Total Bilirubin, ALP, GPT, GOT, GGT, Total Protein, Albumin) 

  • Lipid Profile Test (Total Choloesterol, HDL-Cholesterol, LDL Choloesterol, Triglicerides, Risk Factor)

Clinical Endocrinology

The study of hormones and diagnosis of endocrine disorders.


The endocrine system is a network of glands in your body that make the hormones that help cells talk to each other. They’re responsible for almost every cell, organ, and function in your body.


If your endocrine system isn't healthy, you might have problems developing during puberty, getting pregnant, or managing stress. You also might gain weight easily, have weak bones, or lack energy because too much sugar stays in your blood instead of moving into your cells where it's needed for energy.​

​

These tests may be performed to explore potential issues with growth, development or metabolism; issues with reproductive processes, sex drive or function; and changes in sleeping pattern, mood or energy levels.

​

  • Beta HCG (pregnancy)

  • Cortisol

  • DHEA / DHEA Sulphate

  • Pregnancy-Associated Plasma Protein A

  • (PAPP-A)

  • Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)
