FERRITIN

$ 21.00

Ferritin Test Any other names for this test? Serum Ferritin, Ferritin level, Ferritin serum What is a Ferritin test? A ferritin test helps to determine the amount of ferritin in your blood. Ferritin is a protein that keeps iron within your cells. Iron is an essential element for the healthy production of red blood cells. The function of red blood cells is to transfer oxygen supply from your lungs to the parts of your body. Iron is significant for muscles, organs, bone marrow, and brain development. High or low levels of iron in your body link to low blood ferritin levels that may lead to severe diseases if left untreated. What is the purpose of this test? A ferritin test measures the total amount of iron possessed in your body. This test may identify the following conditions:   A deficiency of iron leads to Anemia, a disease of low levels of red blood cells in your blood. Hemochromatosis - A condition of iron overloading means a large quantity of iron in your body. Liver diseases (A large amount of ferritin is present in your liver). A tingling or inflamed feeling in your legs because of iron deficiency. An adult still disease (also known as adult-onset Still disease, or AOSD). It is not a common disease that may lead to joint pain, fever, and rash with high ferritin levels. You may also need to take a ferritin blood test when you already have a disorder of high iron levels in your body. The long-term conditions that may affect your iron levels include kidney, cancer, and autoimmune disease. Your provider may suggest this test to observe your current health conditions and give you treatment. When do I need a ferritin test? Your healthcare provider recommends the ferritin blood test if they think you may have high or low levels of iron in your body. Symptoms of low iron levels include:   Weakness or fatigue Dizziness or feeling faint Difficulty in breathing. Arrhythmia (A disturbance in the rate or process of your heartbeat) Bleeding in your digestive system Losing hair Brittle nails Blood in the stool The use of ice in children and cow’s milk in babies may also need to take this test. Following are signs and symptoms of high iron levels that may cause several diseases:   Lose power in sex or if you experience erectile dysfunction. It is a condition in which difficulty arises to get and maintain an erection. Pain in the abdomen Weakness Skin color turn gray or bronze Pain in the joints, specifically in the knees or hands What is the method for the ferritin blood test? Your provider will ask for a blood sample for this test. You can place an online order for the ferritin test. Visit the laboratory you have selected. Following are the steps of this test:   Sit in front of your provider and remove your part of the cloth from one arm. Your provider will insert a small needle into the vein in your arm. A small amount of blood will collect in a test tube. Your blood sample will keep at the laboratory for examination. Daily activities can start after the test. This test generally takes five minutes. How do I need to prepare for this test? A ferritin blood test does not require specific preparation. Your provider may ask if you use medicines, vitamins, and supplements. You may need to fast if your provider asks for additional blood tests. You may provide specific instructions by seeing your medical history. What are the risks of this test? A ferritin blood test has low risks. You may experience slight pain when your provider injects a needle into your veins. Some risks may include   Low bleeding Bruising Infection lightheaded feeling What do the ferritin test results mean? The ferritin test results may vary on age, gender, medical history, and other factors. The test results may differ slightly among laboratories. It is because each lab may use different methods for examination. You may consult a healthcare provider to get information about your ferritin test result. The recommended range for blood ferritin in men and women is 24 to 336 micrograms per liter and 11 to 307 micrograms per liter, respectively. Low ferritin levels than recommended can indicate a deficiency of iron. You may also experience anemia disease. Anemia is a disease in which your body does not develop the required red blood cells. If left untreated, it may result in heart disease, infections, reduction in the growth, development of the brain in infants, and other problems.  Low iron levels may generally occur due to long-term blood loss in adults. The other conditions include in which you may lose a large amount of iron are:   Ulcers or tumors in your gastrointestinal system. Internal bleeding Heavy menstrual periods Pregnant or breastfeeding High ferritin levels may show the following conditions in your body.   Liver disease Leukemia - cancer of blood cells Hemochromatosis Heart problems Hyperthyroidism - a condition in which your thyroid produces high thyroid hormones. Alcohol disorder Rheumatoid arthritis Multiple blood transfusions (Frequent blood donation) Intake of a large number of iron supplements Porphyria - A combination of diseases that occurs due to enzyme deficiency. It affects your skin and nervous system. Iron poisoning develops if you use large amounts of iron supplements once at a time. What factors may affect the test results? If the ferritin test results are not in the recommended range, your provider will ask for other tests. Specific medicines may affect your test results if you do not have any medical conditions. Foods that contain high amounts of iron, including iron supplements, leafy vegetables, and meat, can also increase or decrease iron levels. You can discuss your ferritin levels with a provider. What additional tests may I need to conduct along with the ferritin test? Your provider may also order additional blood tests that include:   Serum iron level determines the amount of iron in the serum or liquid part of your blood. Hemoglobin and hematocrit determine the number of red blood cells. Complete blood count (CBC) observe many types of cells in your blood Zinc protoporphyrin helps to see iron deficiency. HFE gene test uses to look for hemochromatosis. Total iron binding capacity (TIBC) - This test helps to measure the amount of transferrin in your blood.  

FICUS SPECIES (K81) IGE

$ 21.00

Clinical Significance Ficus Species (k81) IgE - Ficus benjamina (Fb) is a tropical non-flowering plant used ornamentally in homes and public places such as offices and hospitals. The allergens are located in the sap of the plant, as well as in dust collected from leaf surfaces and on the floor, where the allergens may persist of several months after removal of the plant. The main route for sensitization is likely inhalation of airborne dust emanating from the leaves of the plant. Non-atopic patients have been reported to develop allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, contact urticaria and asthma caused by Fb. A frequent association between sensitization to Ficus species and natural rubber latex from Hevea brasiliensis has been attributed to cross-reacting IgE antibodies.

$ 21.00

Folate Test   Any other names for this test? Folic acid test, Vitamin B-9  What is a Folate test? A folate test helps to see folate levels in the liquid part of your blood, known as serum or red blood cells. Folate is the natural type of vitamin B-9 that has vital functions in the body. It plays several roles, such as   Developing DNA, a unique genetic code present in all cells of a person. Production of red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. Help to make, utilize, and decompose protein. Growing tissues and cells in the body. Increases cells in babies during pregnancy Help to protect from changes in the cells that may result in cancer. Folate is a water-soluble nutrient. If you take large amounts of folate, it will be released from your body through urine. A low folate level or folate deficiency may result in anemia and other diseases. Low folate levels may lead to brain or spine disorders in the fetus during pregnancy. What is the purpose of this test? A folate test measures the healthy folate levels in your body. This test identifies and monitors the condition if you experience a deficiency of folate. Your provider may suggest this test after an abnormal blood test. You may also need this test if you have megaloblastic anemia. A type of anemia in which your body cannot produce enough red blood cells. A folate serum test is a routine test for people having inflammatory bowel disease. It is because they cannot digest nutrients from foods that contain folate.  When do I need a folate test? You may have a deficiency of folate if you do not take the required folate from foods or vitamins. You may need to order this test to diagnose anemia and its reasons. Your healthcare provider may recommend this test if you see symptoms of folate deficiency that include:   Disturbed heartbeat Confusion Changes in the color of skin or hair Breath shortness Lack of concentration Weakness Fatigue Diarrhea (loose, watery, and increased bowel movements) Depression Headache Numbness and tingling in the fingers and toes Irritability Nausea and vomiting Sores on the tongue or within the mouth You can visit here to place an online order for the folate test. If you already experience a deficiency of folate and are getting treatment for it, your provider may use this test to monitor how effective the treatment is going for folate. What are the foods that contain folate? Folate is present in the following:   Liver Broccoli Dried beans, peas, and lentils Leafy green vegetables include spinach, collards, mustard green, and rapini. Citrus fruits and juices Wheat germs Yeast Asparagus How do I need to prepare for this test? You do not need specific preparation for the folate test. You can inform your provider about medicines, vitamins, and supplements you take. You may provide special instructions by observing your medical history. What is the method for this test? Your provider will ask for a blood sample for this test. Following are the steps of this test:   Sit in front of your provider and remove your part of the cloth from one arm. Your provider will insert a small needle into the vein in your arm.  A small amount of blood will collect in a test tube. Your blood sample will keep at the laboratory for examination. Daily activities can start after the test. This test generally takes five minutes.  Before visiting the laboratory, you can schedule an online order for the folate test. What are the risks of this test? A folate serum test is a blood test that does not contain high risks. You may experience slight pain or low risks when your provider injects a needle into your veins. These risks include   Bruising Infection Low bleeding lightheaded feeling Dizziness What do the test results mean? There are two methods available to measure folate levels in a blood sample. One of the general methods is to see folate levels in serum. The second method observes the folate levels in the red blood cell, a component of your blood. The recommended range for the folate serum, or blood plasma, is from 2.5 to 20 nanograms per milliliter or 4.5 to 45.3 nanomoles per liter (nmol/L). The recommended values for red blood cells are 140 to 628 ng/mL or 317 to 1,422 nmol/L. Low folate levels than recommended can indicate a deficiency of folate. Your healthcare provider gives your folic acid supplements. The folate deficiency will disappear within a short time when you take supplements. You can set an online appointment with a doctor to discuss the quantity of folate you need. The folate values depend on your age and if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.  Low folate levels may generally occur due to several problems, such as   Anemia Low white blood cells levels Low platelets Defects in the birth during pregnancy High folate levels in your body do not indicate any problems. Excess folate will excrete from the body through urine. The folate test results depend on age, gender, medical history, and other factors. The test results may differ slightly among laboratories. It is because each lab may use different methods for examination. What factors may affect the test results? Factors that may affect your test results are:   Intake of a large quantity of alcohol. Malabsorption of nutrients (Crohn's disease or celiac disease) Increasing age Avoiding fresh vegetables and fortified grains. Smoking Kidney dialysis Birth control pills Pregnancy Chemotherapy or any past surgery Antiseizure medicine What additional tests may I need to conduct along with the folate test? Your provider will ask for other tests if the folate serum test results are not in the recommended range. Your provider may also order additional blood tests that include vitamin B-12 tests. Folate and B-12 are significant for the development of red blood cells.

FSH

$ 15.00

FSH Test What are the other names for this test? Follicle-stimulating hormone serum, Follitropin, FSH levels test What is an FSH test? This test helps to measure the amount of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). FSH is a hormone that has a significant role in reproduction, sexual functions, and the development of men and women. A hormone is a chemical substance your body produces to regulate and control an organ or other things. FSH develops through the pituitary gland, a small gland. It is located in the center of your head and at the base of your brain. FSH is present in both men and women. High or low levels of FSH can lead to several problems, such as:   Lack of ability for sex in men Infertility (A condition in which women lose the ability to become pregnant). Difficulty in the menstrual cycle Early or delayed puberty (A specific time in which a boy or girl becomes an adult) in children. What is the purpose of this test? This test determines the abnormalities in the FSH levels. The FSH operates with a hormone called luteinizing hormone to regulate sexual functions. The FSH test often conducts with a luteinizing test. FSH has the following purpose for your body, including   It controls the menstrual or reproduction cycle and encourages the growth of eggs in the ovaries of females. It regulates the development of sperm in men. In girls, it gives the message to ovaries to develop estrogen (female sex hormones). In boys, it gives the message to the testes to produce testosterone (male sex hormone). The FSH helps to diagnose these conditions for men, women, and children: For men, this test may often use to:   Look for the reason for infertility (A disease in which a man cannot get a woman pregnant). Determine the causes for low sperm (male reproductive cell) count in the body. Diagnose the problems in the testicles (male reproductive glands). For women, this test helps to analyze these conditions:   Infertility -A disease in which women cannot become pregnant. Ovaries problem. Irregular menstrual or reproductive cycles. Menopause - A specific time in which the menstrual cycle for a woman completes after she cannot become pregnant. The ideal age for women in this condition is about 50 years. Perimenopause - It is the intermediate or transition period earlier than menopause. This condition stays for a long time. FSH test may conduct after this period. For children, the FSH test helps to identify early or delayed puberty.   When puberty reaches before age 9 in girls and before age 10 in boys, it is known as early puberty. When puberty reaches age 13 in girls and age 14 in boys, it is known as delayed puberty. When do I need to conduct this test? Your healthcare provider may recommend the FSH test for both males and females if they experience symptoms of the pituitary gland. These symptoms include:   Losing weight Fatigue Reduced hunger Weakness Women may need to order this test if you:   Are unable to get pregnant during the effort of 12 months. Have irregular menstrual cycles. Have passed through menopause or are in perimenopause. Men may need this test if you:   Have difficulty to do your woman pregnant after the efforts of 12 months. Lose the ability to do sex. Your provider may recommend the test to your child if puberty does not appear at the recommended age. What is the procedure for the FSH test? You need to follow these steps for the procedure of this test. ● Go to the laboratory you have selected online.  ● Your provider will ask you to remove part of your cloth from your arm. ● A small needle will inject into a vein in your arm. ● A test tube or a specimen will collect your blood sample. ● A bandage will apply to cover the vein where the needle will inject. ● You can go home for daily activities. How do I need to prepare for this test? You do not need special preparation for the test if you are men. Women can inform their provider if she has not passed through menopause. Your healthcare provider may ask a woman to book an online test at a particular time during her reproductive or menstrual cycle. What are the risks of the FSH test? The FSH test is a blood test that does not have high risks. When your provider injects a needle into a vein in your arm, you can feel slight pain or lightheaded. The low risks may occur at the spot of a vein where the needle injects, such as bleeding, infection, or bruising. What do the test results mean? The FSH test results may vary on gender, age, medical history, and other elements. The high FSH levels in women may indicate that you have:   Primary ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder that may affect pregnant women. PCOS is a big reason for infertility. Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a disease of losing ovarian before age 40. Premature ovarian failure is another name for POI. An ovarian tumor Turner syndrome - A genetic disorder often leads to infertility and sexual development. Low FSH levels in women may indicate:   Ovaries lose the ability to produce recommended eggs. Problems in the pituitary gland Problems in the hypothalamus, which is a part of the brain, help to regulate the pituitary gland and other functions of the body. Losing extreme weight The high FSH levels in men may indicate that you have:   Damaged testicles because of chemotherapy (cancer treatment), radiation, infection, or disease of alcohol. Klinefelter syndrome is a genetic disease that often causes infertility and sexual development in males. Low FSH levels in men may show that you have problems in your pituitary gland or hypothalamus. High FSH levels in children with high luteinizing hormones can show that puberty has begun. When puberty reaches before age 9 in a girl or before age 10 in a boy, it indicates:   Disorder in the central nervous system Injury in the brain Low FSH and luteinizing hormone levels may show delayed puberty. The reasons for delayed puberty are:   Problems in ovaries or testicles Deficiency of hormone Specific infection Bad eating habits Turner syndrome in girls Klinefelter syndrome in boys You can discuss the FSH levels with a doctor by making an online talk. What things do I need to know about this test?   The FSH levels are also measured in the urine by home test. The home kit helps to determine symptoms like dry vagina and irregular periods. The test can predict high FSH levels but cannot indicate menopause or perimenopause. Get information about laboratory tests, medical imaging, and e-consultation services.

FSH AND LH

$ 40.00

"Clinical Significance FSH and LH - FSH and LH are secreted by the anterior pituitary in response to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GNRH) secreted by the hypothalamus. In both males and females, FSH and LH secretion is regulated by a balance of positive and negative feedback mechanisms involving the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, the reproductive organs, and the pituitary and sex steroid hormones. FSH and LH play a critical role in maintaining the normal function of the male and female reproductive systems. Abnormal FSH levels with corresponding increased or decreased levels of LH, estrogens, progesterone, and testosterone are associated with a number of pathological conditions. Increased FSH levels are associated with menopause and primary ovarian hypofunction in females and primary hypogonadism in males. Decreased levels of FSH are associated with primary ovarian hyper-function in females and primary hypergonadism in males. Normal or decreased levels of FSH are associated with polycystic ovary disease in females. In males, LH is also called interstitial cell-stimulating hormone (ICSH). Abnormal LH levels with corresponding increased or decreased levels of FSH, estrogens, progesterone, and testosterone are associated with a number of pathological conditions. Increased LH levels are associated with menopause, primary ovarian hypofunction, and polycystic ovary disease in females and primary hypo-gonadism in males. Decreased LH levels are associated with primary ovarian hyperfunction in females and primary hyper-gonadism in males.

FTA-ABS

$ 60.00

FTA-ABS What are the other names for this test? Fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption test What is the FTA-ABS test? The fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption test (FTA-ABS) helps to determine antibodies in response to the bacteria Treponema pallidum. This bacteria is responsible for syphilis disease in your body. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) spread due to direct contact with the infected person having sores on their skin. The FTA-ABS test often conducts after the screening tests for syphilis. What is the purpose of this test? This test checks the presence of antibodies (proteins) in your body due to the Treponema pallidum bacteria. Antibodies are produced by the immune system when any outside virus or bacteria enters your body. Antibodies develop in the body whenever people get infected with syphilis. In most cases, syphilis transfers to the person through sexual contact. In general, syphilis has three stages   Primary syphilis Secondary syphilis Late stage of syphilis When to conduct this test? The FTA-ABS test performs when you have positive results from the initial screening test for syphilis. The syphilis screening test may conduct by rapid plasma reagin (RPR) and venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL) tests. Your provider may recommend this test if you see symptoms of any stage of syphilis in your body. Symptoms of syphilis Primary syphilis stays in your body for at least 2 to 3 weeks. Their symptoms include:   Small and painless sore (chancre) on the mouth, skin, rectum, or sexual organs. These symptoms cure themselves within 3 to 6 weeks.  Increase in lymph nodes at the surface of the sore. Lymph nodes are present throughout your body, such as in the neck, groin, back of the head and ears, etc. The secondary stage of syphilis appears 4 to 8 weeks after primary syphilis. Their signs and symptoms include:   Rashes in the palms of the hands and bottom of the feet. Producing sores in the mouth, vagina, or penis Fever Swelling in the lymph nodes Illness Hair loss Blurry vision Pain in the muscle and joint Moist and unsmooth patches in the sexual organs or skin folds The symptoms for the late stage of syphilis may vary on the particularly affected organs of the body. The tertiary or late stage of syphilis is the most severe stage to diagnose symptoms. The possible signs are:   Heart damage or valve disease Disorder of the central nervous system Tumors (a solid mass of tissue develops due to the grouping of abnormal cells) of skin, liver, or bones). The FTA-ABS test may also conduct:   If you have a syphilis infection and your provider wants to monitor your condition. If you are pregnant Before marriage (some states will ask to take this test to receive a marriage certificate). If you have a positive syphilis test, you should place an online order for this test to see the antibodies in your body. What is the procedure for this test? The FTA-ABS test contains the following steps to conduct:   Visit the laboratory you have selected after placing an online order. Your provider will ask you to remove part of your cloth from your arm. A small needle will inject into a vein in your arm. A test tube or a specimen will collect your blood sample. A bandage will apply to cover the vein where the needle will inject. You can return home for daily activities. This test does not take time greater than five minutes. How do I get ready for this test? You do not need any special preparation for the FTA-ABS test. You can inform your doctor if you use medicines such as warfarin (blood thinners), supplements, or vitamins. Your doctor will ask you to stop taking these medications before the test. What are the risks of this test? The FTA-ABS test does not have high risks. You can experience slight pain when the needle injects into his veins. The other low risks may include:   Light bleeding Bruising Infection Lightheaded feeling What do the test results indicate? The test results depend on age, gender, medical history, and other factors. The recommended range for the test can differ slightly among laboratories. Laboratories may use different methods for measurements.   The results of the FTA-ABS test can indicate the presence of antibodies to T.pallidum bacteria in your body if you have a syphilis infection. Non-reactive or negative test results show no antibodies in your body. It means that you are currently free from the syphilis infection or have not experienced the STD infection in the past. Abnormal or positive test results show antibodies in your body due to active syphilis infection. You will have positive test results throughout your life if you already had treated for syphilis. You can schedule an online appointment to know the presence of T.pallidum bacteria in your body. What factors may affect the test results? The two other skin conditions that may change your test results include yaws and pinta. False FTA-ABS test results may also occur sometimes in women due to lupus (a disease of the immune system). What additional test may I need to conduct along with this test? Your healthcare provider may also ask you for additional tests besides the fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption test. These tests include:   Nontreponemal antibody test includes rapid plasma reagin test and the venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL) tests. These tests may provide inaccurate or false results. Treponemal antibody test - The FTA-ABS test belongs to this type of syphilis test. This test only finds the number of antibodies produced against Treponema pallidum bacteria. This test does not provide false-positive results. Microhemagglutination assay (MHA-TP) - It often conducts when another syphilis test shows positive results. Dark Field microscopy - This test uses a microscope to observe syphilis germs in your sample of fluid or tissue. Your provider uses this test in the early stages. Enzyme immunoassay (EIA) - This test often combines with an RPR or VLDL test. Treponema pallidum particle agglutination assay (TPPA) - This test determines antibodies and combines with a screening test.

GELATIN, BOVINE (C74) IGE

$ 21.00

"Clinical Significance Gelatin, Bovine (c74) IgE - This allergen-specific IgE antibody test quantifies an individual’s IgE response to gelatin of bovine origin. It is an in vitro quantitative assay that is intended to be used in conjunction with other clinical information to aid in the diagnosis of allergic diseases [1]. While allergen-specific serum IgE testing is considered comparable to skin testing in many instances, both the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology and the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology recognize that allergen-specific serum IgE testing may be preferred in some clinical situations. These include 1) the presence of widespread skin disease, 2) the recent use of antihistamines or other medications that can affect the results of allergy skin tests, 3) uncooperative patients, and 4) medical history suggesting that allergen skin testing would pose a significant risk for a serious allergic reaction [1]. Food-specific IgE tests are extremely sensitive. However, a positive test result only indicates that a patient is IgE sensitized to the food of concern. Many IgE-sensitized patients do not develop any symptoms when this food is ingested. A diagnosis of food allergy should only be made by a trained medical provider, after conducting a thorough clinical evaluation [2,3]. While food-specific IgE test results may contribute to that evaluation, they cannot replace it. In this regard, detection of food-specific IgE in serum provides evidence of IgE sensitization, but a history of clinical reactivity to the food of concern is required to make a diagnosis of IgE-mediated food allergy. Moreover, several forms of food hypersensitivity are not associated with the presence of food-specific IgE in serum.

GGT

$ 15.00

GGT TEST What are the other names for this test? Gamma-glutamyl Transferase, GGTP, Gamma-GT, GTP, Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase What is a GGT test? A gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) test helps determine the GGT levels in your blood. GGT is an enzyme often present in the liver and throughout the body. GGT may come into your bloodstream if your liver is damaged. The GGT test tells whether you have a possible liver or bile duct disease. Bile ducts are tubes that flow bile into and out of the liver. Your liver develops bile, a fluid that is necessary for digestion. High GGT levels may indicate conditions of liver disease or problems in the bile ducts.  What is the purpose of this test? A GGT test may use to diagnose liver conditions or to eliminate medical problems that come from abnormal liver enzyme tests. It often performs with or along other liver function tests, specifically an alkaline phosphatase (ALP) test. This test may also help to see the reason for elevated ALP in your blood. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a form of enzyme used to observe bone diseases with liver disease. If your GGT levels in the blood are in the recommended range but have high ALP levels, you may have a bone disease. A gamma-glutamyl transferase test may also screen for chronic alcohol disorder and observe alcohol use if you are taking treatment for alcoholism or alcohol hepatitis. A GGT test does not help to identify any particular cause of liver disease When do I need to take a GGT test? The GGT levels are present in low amounts in the blood in the case of a healthy liver. If your liver is damaged, the GGT levels may increase, which indicates severe liver or bile duct disease. GGT is often the leading enzyme that enters your blood when your bile ducts become damaged from tumors or stones. Your healthcare provider may recommend this test if you have conditions that may lead to high GGT levels, such as symptoms of liver disease. These symptoms include:   Loss of appetite Pain or swelling in the abdomen Nausea and vomiting Weakness Jaundice- A condition that turns the skin and eye color yellow. Fatigue Dark urine Light-colored stool Your provider may also recommend the gamma-glutamyl transferase test if you have abnormal liver function tests with the ALP test. Check your GGT levels here to see your liver conditions. What is the procedure for this test? A GGT Test is a blood test that requires a blood sample that includes the following steps:   Sit in front of your provider. Be relaxed and stay in a fixed position. It is difficult for your provider to collect a blood sample if you do the muscle movement. Remove the portion of your cloth from the arm. A small needle will inject into a vein in your arm. A small amount of blood will collect in a test tube. Blood samples will store in the laboratory for examination of an allergy. You can go home for regular activities. This test takes at least five minutes. How do I get ready for this test? You may inform your provider about medicines, vitamins, and supplements you use. You do not need special preparation for the GGT test. Do not avoid any medication before consulting with a doctor. You may need to fast for several hours if your provider asks for additional blood tests. Are there any risks involved in this test? A gamma-glutamyl transferase test does not have high risks when you give a blood sample. Veins differ from person to person. Some people may have difficulty providing a blood sample compared to others. Factors that link when the needle injects into a vein in your arm are:   Extreme Bleeding Slight Infection Hematoma (Deposition of blood under the skin) Pain Bruising What do the test results indicate? The recommended range for a gamma-glutamyl transferase test for males is between 7 to 47 units per liter (U/L). For females, the value lies between 5 to 25 U/L. A newly born baby has higher GGT levels compared to adults and children. Book an online appointment with a healthcare professional to discuss your GGT test results. The test results depend on many factors, such as age, gender, and medical history. The test results may also slightly differ among laboratories. It is because each lab may use different methods for examination. High GGT levels than recommended may mean a sign of liver damage due to   Hepatitis (Inflammation of the liver) Cirrhosis (Late-stage of liver damage) Tumors Diabetes Heart failure Pancreatic cancer (Cancer that happens when cells in your pancreas produce changes in their DNA) Chronic alcohol disorder Viral infections like Epstein-Barr Drug's side effects. Specific medicines can damage the liver in a few people. The GGT test does not specify the specific cause or help to differentiate different reasons for liver damage. Higher GGT levels mean more damage to your liver. Low or recommended GGT levels do not indicate any liver disease. Your test results may compare with the ALP test to detect bone disease. The combination of both test results may indicate any of the following scenarios   High ALP and GGT levels may show liver disorder. You do not have a bone disease. High ALP levels but low GGT levels mean you may experience bone disease. What factors may affect the GGT test results? Some medications may affect your test results. These include phenobarbital, phenytoin, clofibrate, birth control pills, and others. What additional tests do I need along with this test? Your healthcare provider may recommend the following liver enzyme tests along with the gamma-glutamyl transferase test:   Alanine aminotransferase Aspartate aminotransferase Creatine phosphokinase Alkaline phosphatase Leucine aminopeptidase Lactic dehydrogenase For more information about laboratory tests and e-consultation, visit Umbrella Health Care Systems.
