Estradiol- Estradiol levels are used in evaluating ovarian function. Its main use has been in the differential diagnosis of amenorrhea – for example, to determine whether the cause is menopause, pregnancy, or a medical problem. In assisted reproductive technology (ART), serial measurements are used to monitor follicle development in the ovary in the days prior to in vitro fertilization.

Progesterone – To help determine the cause of infertility, track ovulation, help diagnose an ectopic or failing pregnancy, monitor the health of a pregnancy, and help diagnose the cause of abnormal uterine bleeding.

FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) – In women, FSH and LH levels can help to differentiate between primary ovarian failure (failure of the ovaries themselves) and secondary ovarian failure (failure of the ovaries due to disorders of either the pituitary or the hypothalamus).

LH – In women and men, LH (and FSH) tests are ordered as part of the workup of infertility, suspected pituitary problems, or gonadal disorders when a woman is having trouble getting pregnant or when pituitary, ovary, or gonadal disorders are suspected.

Testosterone- In Women, testosterone levels are used to explain the appearance of masculine features, inability to get pregnant, and as a marker for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).

What Causes Vitamin D Deficiency?
There are a number of potential reasons for someone to suffer from a low level of vitamin D.


Limited Sun Exposure
Most obvious is that your exposure to sunlight is, or has been, limited. This can often be attributed to the increased use of sunscreen – especially in older adults. It can also be the result of seasonal factors. For example, the shorter winter days experienced by Americans in the North and Northeast of the U.S.


Reduced Dietary Vitamin D
It’s also possible that some people don’t get enough Vitamin D in their diet. This can be especially true for strict vegetarians as most foods that contain vitamin D tend to be animal–based (fish, egg yolks, beef liver).


You Have Darker Skin
Individuals with darker skin have higher levels of melanin which reduces the skin’s ability to product vitamin D in response to sunlight.


You Are Obese
Vitamin D is extracted by fat cells which alters it’s release into the circulation. Studies have shown that individuals with body mass indexes of 30 or more, may be at greater risk for experiencing low levels of vitamin D.


Normal Range: VITAMIN D 25, HYDROXY: 16.0 – 74.0 ng/mL


High Results Indicate: Elevated levels may indicate hypervitaminosis D which can lead to high calcium levels.


Low Results Indicate: Low levels may indicate lack of adequate levels of Vitamin D in the diet, liver and kidney disease, malabsorption, low blood calcium levels or thin or weak bones.

Your thyroid is more important than you think. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of the neck and is an integral part of your endocrine system. The endocrine system is made up of glands which regulate the function, growth and development of virtually every cell, tissue and organ in the body by secreting chemicals called hormones directly into the bloodstream. When endocrine disorders develop, too much or too little hormone is secreted by a specific gland because the gland stops functioning properly due to illness, surgical removal or natural causes.

Thyroid dysfunction occurs when the thyroid produces either too much thyroid hormone, which causes your body’s systems to speed up (hyperthyroidism), or too little hormone, which causes your body’s systems to slow down (hypothyroidism). Both negatively impact your overall health and well-being.

Untreated thyroid disease may lead to elevated cholesterol levels and subsequent heart disease, as well as infertility and osteoporosis. Research also indicates a strong genetic link between thyroid disease and other autoimmune disease, including certain types of diabetes, arthritis, and anemia.

Thyroid disorders affect an estimated 200 million people worldwide, and an estimated 27 million Americans. More than half remain undiagnosed. In fact, thyroid disease is more common than diabetes and heart disease.

What is included in the tests?

TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone). A TSH test measures the amount of thyroid stimulating hormone in your blood. TSH is produced by the pituitary gland and tells the thyroid gland to make and release the hormones Thyroxine (T4) and Triiodothyronine (T3). Triiodothyronine (T3) and Thyroxine (T4) help control your body’s metabolism. Nearly every cell in your body depends on normal T4 and T3 levels to maintain its optimal function.

Free T4 (Thyroxine). T4 is the predominant thyroid hormone produced by the thyroid gland. Free T4 measures the T4 hormone that is not bound to protein; therefore it is ready for use by the body. Measuring free T4 rather than total T4 is a more accurate assessment of thyroid status.

Free T3 (Triiodothyronine). T3 is the most active thyroid hormone. Some T3 is produced by the thyroid, but most of the T3 comes from conversion of T4 to T3 which occurs in body but outside the thyroid. Free T3 measures the available (non-protein bound) T3 hormone and its measurement is very useful in assessing thyroid balance, particularly in hyperthyroidism.

Thyroid Antibodies. Thyroid Antibodies are tested for evidence of autoimmune thyroid diseases, such as Hashimoto’s or Graves’ disease. Thyroid antibodies may remain positive for years, and do not provide an indication of whether the person has normal or abnormal thyroid function. Furthermore, some patients with Hashimoto’s disease may have negative levels of circulating antibodies, and conversely, patients with positive levels of thyroid antibodies may never develop thyroid disease during their lifetime.

Do I need to fast before taking the test?

No. Fasting is not required before a thyroid function lab test.

Do I need approval from my insurance company before testing?

These services are not covered by insurance. Therefore, you do not need approval from your insurance company before having a thyroid test.

Do I need a referral from my health care provider in order to use ANY LAB TEST NOW®?

No, it is not necessary to have a referral to use ANY LAB TEST NOW®.

What types of payment do you accept?

We accept cash, and all credit cards like Visa, MasterCard and American Express.

How will I receive my test results?

Test results will be available within 72 hours.

How does thyroid hormone testing differ from a saliva test or a finger-stick blood test?

Saliva testing is an unproven technology and is not medically recognized by most accredited medical communities for thyroid assessment. Because the sensitivity of saliva testing hasn’t been clearly established, saliva testing has proven to be inconsistent and unreliable, not to mention more expensive. Finger prick spot blood tests are also unreliable and expensive and do not adhere to any medical standards for testing thyroid function.

Test Components::

This panel tests for:

1. Hepatitis A
2. Hepatitis B
3. Hepatitis C

Why Do I Need It?:

If left untreated, hepatitis can lead to fatigue or more serious issues like liver failure. What’s most disturbing is how hepatitis can remain dormant in your body for years and cause no outward physical symptoms.

It may be impossible to detect hepatitis with just a physical examination because you may not have any noticeable symptoms. That’s why it’s important to be tested. Get a Hepatitis Panel and peace‐of‐mind today.

In females, this hormone helps regulate the menstrual cycle and egg production. It is common to see LH levels rise and fall during the monthly menstrual cycle. It is also useful in the production of estrogen and progesterone.

In males, LH is responsible for the release of testosterone (which plays a role in producing sperm).


Why Do I Need It?:
The LH Test can help men and women in a lot of ways, such as helping find the cause for the couple’s infertility or help evaluate a man’s sperm count or a woman’s egg supply. It can also give insight on puberty, menstrual cycle issues, and ovulation timing, among others.


Test Details:
Normal Range:
Men’s levels should be between 1.5- 9.3mL. For women, normal levels depend upon what stage of the menstrual cycle you are in. For example:

High Results Indicate:
In men, high levels can indicate testicular failure, defects in testicular growth or testicular injury. In women, high levels can indicate menopause or primary ovarian failure.

What is diabetes?
Diabetes is a disorder of metabolism — the way our bodies use digested food for growth and energy. Most of the food we eat is broken down into glucose, the form of sugar in the blood. Glucose is the main source of fuel for the body.

After digestion, glucose passes into the bloodstream, where it is used by cells for growth and energy. For glucose to get into cells, insulin must be present. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas, a large gland behind the stomach.

When we eat, the pancreas automatically produces the right amount of insulin to move glucose from blood into our cells. In people with diabetes, however, the pancreas either produces little or no insulin, or the cells do not respond appropriately to the insulin that is produced. Glucose builds up in the blood, overflows into the urine, and passes out of the body. Thus, the body loses its main source of fuel even though the blood contains large amounts of sugar.

* Lipoprotein Fractionation
* Lipoprotein Particle Numbers
* Lp(a)
* Triglycerides
* Homocysteine
* C-Reactive Protein (High Sensitivity)
* Insulin

Description:

The LPP Plus is different from the LPP in that it also tests for homocysteine, C-Reactive Protein (High Sensitivity), PLA2 (a specific marker for stroke risk) and insulin values.

A standard cholesterol test may not be enough because it can’t detect ALL the risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease.

The Lipoprotein Particle ProfileTM and LPP Plus goes above and beyond the standard cholesterol tests by directly measuring (vs. calculating) lipoprotein particles – both in numbers and in density.

Measuring the lipoprotein subgroups is the only way to evaluate new risk factors, which is crucial for an accurate assessment of your cardiovascular risk.

The test is simple and non-invasive. An ANY LAB TEST NOW® associate will gently take a small amount of blood and give you test results in a few days. It’s that simple.

Why Do I Need It?:

Did you know that approximately 50% of people suffering from heart attacks have “normal” cholesterol numbers*. (*NIH-National Heart Blood and Lung Institute.)

If you have “normal” cholesterol numbers, you may want to consider the more comprehensive Lipoprotein Particle ProfileTM or LPP Plus. This test can determine your cardiovascular risk despite those apparent “normal” levels. Knowing your lipoprotein numbers is important because cardiovascular risk increases with a higher LDL particle count.


High Results Indicate:


Research has shown that there are different sized of LDL and HDL particles and some are much more dangerous than others. Having a detailed profile gives your doctor the information needed to make more effective treatment decisions to reduce your risk for heart disease and even a heart attack.


Low Results Indicate:


Research has shown that there are different sized of LDL and HDL particles and some are much more dangerous than others. Having a detailed profile gives your doctor the information needed to make more effective treatment decisions to reduce your risk for heart disease and even a heart attack.

Why Do I Need It?:
Are you diabetic or want to know if you’re diabetic?
This test will determine if your blood glucose level is within a healthy range. It will also screen for, diagnose, and monitor pre-diabetes, diabetes, hyper- and hypoglycemia.


Test Details:
Normal Range: Fasting ranges should be between 70 to 110 mg/dL

High Results Indicate: High result values are between 100 and 126 mg and are considered to be a risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Results higher than 126 mg can be a sign that you have diabetes and you should seek medical attention.

Low Results Indicate: Results under 70 mg/dL can indicate hypoglycemia.


What is being tested?

Glucose is a simple sugar that serves as the main source of energy for the body. The carbohydrates we eat are broken down into glucose (and a few other simple sugars), absorbed by the small intestine, and circulated throughout the body. Most of the body’s cells require glucose for energy production; brain and nervous system cells not only rely on glucose for energy, they can only function when glucose levels in the blood remain above a certain level.

The body’s use of glucose hinges on the availability of insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. Insulin acts as a traffic director, transporting glucose into the body’s cells, directing the body to store excess energy as glycogen for short-term storage and/or as triglycerides in adipose (fat) cells. We cannot live without glucose or insulin, and they must be in balance.


Normally, blood glucose levels rise slightly after a meal, and insulin is secreted to lower them, with the amount of insulin released matched up with the size and content of the meal. If blood glucose levels drop too low, such as might occur in between meals or after a strenuous workout, glucagon (another pancreatic hormone) is secreted to tell the liver to turn some glycogen back into glucose, raising the blood glucose levels. If the glucose/insulin feedback mechanism is working properly, the amount of glucose in the blood remains fairly stable. If the balance is disrupted and glucose levels in the blood rise, then the body tries to restore the balance, both by increasing insulin production and by excreting glucose in the urine.


Severe, acute hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia can be life-threatening, causing organ failure, brain damage, coma, and, in extreme cases, death. Chronically high blood glucose levels can cause progressive damage to body organs such as the kidneys, eyes, heart and blood vessels, and nerves. Chronic hypoglycemia can lead to brain and nerve damage.


Some women may develop hyperglycemia during pregnancy, which is termed gestational diabetes. If untreated, this can cause these mothers to give birth to large babies who may have low glucose levels. Women who have had gestational diabetes may or may not go on to develop diabetes.

A substantial body of evidence including over 65 papers support Lp-PLA2 as a cardiovascular risk marker that provides new information, over and above traditional risk factors.

87% of strokes are ischemic1.

68% of all heart attacks and strokes occur from clots, not from narrowing of the arteries.

The PLAC Test is a blood test that measures the level of Lp-PLA2 (Lipoprotein-associated Phospholipase A2), an enzyme associated with the inflammation of your arteries. Increased levels of Lp-PLA2 increase your risk of having a heart attack or stroke.

In most adults, cholesterol causes a fatty deposit called plaque to build up in the walls of the arteries. When arterial walls become inflamed, your body produces the enzyme Lp-PLA2. If the amount of Lp-PLA2 is high, this may indicate that the plaque is more likely to rupture through the inside lining of your artery into your bloodstream, where it may cause a clot that could result in heart attack or stroke.

Why Do I Need It?:

Stroke is the number 3 killer in the United States and cholesterol is NOT a reliable predictor for stroke. Now there is a simple blood test that can help you uncover hidden risk for both heart attack and stroke. It’s called The PLAC Test.

And did you know that 50% of cardiovascular events strike in patients with unremarkable lipid levels (or those that ‘appear normal’), highlighting the prevalence of hidden cardiovascular risk. Find out now if you have a hidden risk of rupture-prone plaque.

The PLAC Test can provide you and your doctor with information about the health of your arteries that was not available in the past.

The VAP® (Vertical Auto Profile) Test is one of the most accurate and comprehensive cholesterol tests available today. It reports 18 separate components of blood cholesterol compared to just four in a standard test.

This comprehensive cholesterol test can identify more lipid abnormalities (which is the #1 risk factor of heart disease) than the standard test and is the only cholesterol test to identify markers for Metabolic Syndrome, a precursor for diabetes.

Your risk of heart disease and diabetes can be reduced with the right preventative treatments – and the VAP® Test provides a large amount of information for your doctor to give an accurate diagnosis.

Why Do I Need It?

The VAP® Cholesterol Test is a test for you if you have:

• A family history of heart disease or cardiac event
• Elevated cholesterol ( Total or LDL) or Low HDL
• Elevated Triglycerides
• Diabetes or family history of diabetes
• High Blood Pressure
• Thyroid Problems
• Kidney Problems
• Obstructive Liver Disease
• You are overweight or obese
• You are taking cholesterol medication

Since heart disease is the leading cause of death in both males and females in the United States, the VAP® Cholesterol Test provides a comprehensive look at your cholesterol and all its subclasses to give your physician the information needed to manage heart disease risks and prevent any potential medical complications.

No Fasting is required for this VAP® Cholesterol test.

So you have flexibility for different appointment times and doesn’t have to be done early in the day.

The Lipids Panel can determine if you have abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels. These are important because they can also help you and your doctor determine if you’re at risk for heart disease or other coronary (heart) illnesses.

Cholesterol is fat that is produced by the liver. It can also be obtained from foods like cheeseburgers, pizza, etc. There are two kinds of cholesterol – the good and the bad.

• High Density Lipoproteins (HDL) = Good cholesterol.
• Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL) = Bad cholesterol.

Basically, you want a high HDL and a low LDL (see below for optimal results.)

The Lipids Panel is a great panel to establish a “baseline” (an initial reading or level of results) and continuously monitor over time to ensure healthy results and take necessary action in elevated levels.

When all of these tests are evaluated together, your physician can determine if you would benefit from a cholesterol maintenance medication. If you’re already taking cholesterol medication, your doctor may require a more detailed test from ANY LAB TEST NOW® such as the Cholesterol Medication Maintenance Panel before a refill can be completed.

Why Do I Need It?:

Is your heart healthy?

Measuring your Total Cholesterol and other levels is one method to detect whether you’re at risk for heart or coronary artery diseases, among others.

Test Details:

Normal ranges can depend on sex and age. Below are the ranges for a healthy adult.

High Results Indicate:

TOTAL CHOLESTEROL: High results are values over 240 mg/dL. These results may indicate that you have a problem processing fats and could indicate that you may have a higher risk for heart disease.

HDL CHOLESTEROL: High results are values less than 40 mg/dL. This indicates that you may not have enough good cholesterol to balance out the LDL cholesterol.

LDL CHOLESTEROL: High results are values over 190 mg/dL. These results may indicate that you have a problem processing fats and could indicate that you have a higher risk for heart disease.

TRIGLYCERIDES: High results are values between 200 and 499 mg/dL. Very high risk values are over 500 mg/dL. These results may indicate that you have a problem processing fats and could indicate that you have a higher risk for heart disease.

Low Results Indicate:

Typically, there are no low results for these tests. However, some doctors treat low HDL. Ask your doctor if necessary.

Routine Prenatal Blood Tests:
Most of the routine blood tests will be done on your first prenatal checkup. Some will be repeated during additional prenatal care appointments to ensure the pregnancy is going smoothly. Other than the slight pain, and possible bruising, due to the needle prick, all of these prenatal blood tests are safe and do not present a risk to the fetus.

ABO Blood type and Rh factor:
ABO Blood type and Rh factor – A prenatal blood test will be performed to discover the blood type of the mother and if she is Rh-positive or Rh-negative.

The Rh factor is a protein found on the covering of red blood cells of some people. 85% of people are Rh-positive, meaning they have the Rhesus (Rh) protein. The 15% who do not carry the protein in their blood are Rh-negative. Having or not having the protein does not cause a physical issue until a pregnancy is involved. The baby of an Rh-negative woman can inherit the Rh-positive trait from its father. If the blood of the mother and baby mix at some point during the pregnancy, which is common, the mother’s blood may develop antibodies to the blood of the baby. This is similar to an allergic reaction. The antibodies in the mother’s blood can cross the placenta and attack the baby’s blood. This can lead to the baby developing anemia, brain damage or even death.

A medication called immunoglobulin (Rhlg) may be given to a mother with Rh-negative blood to prevent the formation of antibodies. This is commonly done during the 28th week of pregnancy. She will most likely receive an additional treatment of Rhlg after delivery to prevent problems during future pregnancies.

Anemia (CBC):
Prenatal blood tests will be done to test your iron and hemoglobin levels. Low levels on either test can mean you either have or are at risk for anemia. Anemia during pregnancy will cause a woman to feel extremely fatigued and weak. It can also lead to a premature birth and low birth weight for the baby.

If your prenatal blood test results show anemia or a risk for anemia, your doctor may give you iron supplements or injections to bring you back into normal range.

Rubella:
A prenatal blood test will be done to test for immunity to Rubella (German measles). Becoming infected with Rubella during pregnancy can cause birth defects in unborn children. Common birth defects due to the disease include blindness, hearing impairment, heart defects, and mental retardation. It can also lead to miscarriage or stillbirth.

If the prenatal blood test shows you are not immune to Rubella, you will need to avoid exposure to the disease during your pregnancy. Rubella is rare in the United States due to childhood vaccinations, but your risk of infection increases if you are in crowds where visitors from countries who do not vaccinate for Rubella are present or if you plan to travel internationally during your pregnancy.

Sexually transmitted diseases:
Sexually transmitted diseases can be passed from mother to unborn child during pregnancy and delivery. Prenatal blood tests for HIV, Hepatitis B and Syphilis are routine.

Hepatitis B can cause extreme liver damage and death in babies. Syphilis can cause blindness, brain damage and death. HIV attacks the immune system and leads to AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome).

If you are found to have Hepatitis B, your delivered baby will be treated with hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) and several injections of the Hepatitis B vaccine. Treatment for the mother also consists of the vaccine and HBIG, which are considered safe for use during pregnancy.

Syphilis is treated during pregnancy with a single penicillin injection when the disease has been present for less than one year, or with a longer dose of antibiotics if the infection is more severe.

Toxoplasmosis:
A prenatal blood test will be done to check for toxoplasmosis. Toxoplasmosis is a blood infection caused by a parasite transmitted by cats or through eating undercooked meat. The infection may not produce symptoms in the mother, but can cause severe complications when passed to the fetus. It can cause low birth weight, retinal abnormalities, brain calcification, mental retardation, and premature birth.

If the prenatal blood test is positive for toxoplasmosis, antibiotics will be prescribed to prevent damage to the unborn baby.

Bacteria in your urine:
Up to 10 percent of pregnant women have bacteria in their urine, which indicates a urinary tract infection. Most have no symptoms, but even a symptomless urinary tract infection may spread upwards to the kidneys, where it can pose a serious risk to mother and baby. Urinary tract infections are treated with antibiotics that are safe for mother and baby.

Sugar in your urine. This can be a sign of diabetes. Your health care provider may suggest additional tests if sugar shows up in your urine.

Protein in your urine. This can indicate a urinary tract infection or, later in pregnancy, a pregnancy-related condition that includes high blood pressure. Your health care provider may suggest additional tests if your urine has protein in it.

Understanding the signs and symptoms of pregnancy is important because each symptom may be related to something other than pregnancy. Some women experience signs or symptoms of pregnancy within a week of conception. For other women, pregnancy symptoms may develop over a few weeks or may not be present at all.

Below is a listing of some of the most common pregnancy signs symptoms. If you have been sexually active and experiencing any of the following symptoms it is important to take a pregnancy test.

Implantation Bleeding:
Implantation bleeding can be one of the earliest pregnancy symptoms. About 6-12 days after conception, the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall. Some women will experience spotting as well as some cramping.

• Other Explanations: Actual menstruation, altered menstruation, changes in birth control pill, infection, or abrasion from intercourse.

Delay/Difference in Menstruation:
A delayed or missed menstruation is the most common pregnancy symptom leading a woman to test for pregnancy. When you become pregnant, your next period should be missed. Many women can bleed while they are pregnant, but typically the bleeding will be shorter or lighter than a normal period.

• Other Explanations: Excessive weight gain/loss, fatigue, hormonal problems, tension, stress, ceasing to take the birth control pill, or breast-feeding.

Swollen/Tender Breasts:
Swollen or tender breasts is a pregnancy symptom which may begin as early as 1-2 weeks after conception. Women may notice changes in their breasts; they may be tender to the touch, sore, or swollen.


Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance, birth control pills, impending menstruation (PMS) can also cause your breasts to be swollen or tender.


Fatigue/Tiredness:
Feeling fatigued or more tired is a pregnancy symptom which can also start as early as the first week after conception.

• Other Explanations: Stress, exhaustion, depression, common cold or flu, or other illnesses can also leave you feeling tired or fatigued.

Nausea/Morning Sickness:

This well-known pregnancy symptom will often show up between 2-8 weeks after conception. Some women are fortunate to not deal with morning sickness at all, while others will feel nauseous throughout most of their pregnancy.

• Other Explanations: Food poisoning, stress, or other stomach disorders can also cause you to feel queasy.

Backaches:
Lower backaches may be a symptom that occurs early in pregnancy; however, it is common to experience a dull backache throughout an entire pregnancy

• Other Explanations: Impending menstruation, stress, other back problems, and physical or mental strains.

Headaches:
The sudden rise of hormones in your body can cause you to have headaches early in pregnancy.

• Other Explanations: Dehydration, caffeine withdrawal, impending menstruation, eye strain, or other ailments can be the source of frequent or chronic headaches.

Frequent Urination:
Around 6-8 weeks after conception, you may find yourself making a few extra trips to the bathroom.

• Other Explanations: Urinary tract infection, diabetes, increasing liquid intake, or taking excessive diuretics.

Darkening of Areolas:
If you are pregnant, the skin around your nipples may get darker.

• Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance unrelated to pregnancy or may be a leftover effect from a previous pregnancy.

Food Cravings:
While you may not have a strong desire to eat pickles and ice cream, many women will feel cravings for certain foods when they are pregnant. This can last throughout your entire pregnancy.

• Other Explanations: Poor diet, lack of a certain nutrient, stress, depression, or impending menstruation.

There may be signs on the above list that make you wonder if you might be pregnant. Don’t remain in the dark. Come to ANY LAB TEST NOW® and order a blood pregnancy test. It is quick and easy. You will be in and out in 15 minutes and you will receive your results the next day.

The post Early Signs appeared first on Any Lab Test Now - Killeen.

SYMPTOMS MAY INCLUDE:

• Anxiety
• Irritability
• Difficulty sleeping
• Fatigue
• A rapid or irregular heartbeat
• A fine tremor of your hands or fingers
• An increase in perspiration
• Sensitivity to heat
• Weight loss, despite normal food intake
• Brittle hair
• Enlargement of your thyroid gland (goiter)
• Change in menstrual cycles
• Frequent bowel movements

It’s also fairly common for your eyes to exhibit mild signs of a condition known as Graves’ ophthalmopathy.

Graves’ ophthalmopathy may cause these mild signs and symptoms:

• Excess tearing and sensation of grit or sand in either or both eyes
• Reddened or inflamed eyes
• Widening of the space between your eyelids
• Swelling of the lids and tissues around the eyes
• Light sensitivity

There’s no way to stop your immune system from attacking your thyroid gland, but treatments for Graves’ disease can ease symptoms and decrease the production of thyroxine.

Hashimoto’s disease does not have unique signs and symptoms. The disease typically progresses slowly over a number of years and causes chronic thyroid damage, leading to a drop in thyroid hormone levels in your blood. The signs and symptoms are mainly those of an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism).

The post

Hashimoto’s appeared first on Any Lab Test Now - Killeen.

SYMPTOMS MAY INCLUDE:

• Fatigue
• Feel nervous, moody, weak, or tired.
• Have hand tremors, or have a fast or irregular heartbeat, or have trouble breathing even when you are resting.
• Sweat a lot, and have warm, red skin that may be itchy.
• Have frequent and sometimes loose bowel movements.
• Have fine, soft hair that is falling out.
• Lose weight even though you are eating normally or more than usual.

In addition, some women have irregular menstrual cycles or stop having periods altogether, and some men may develop enlarged breasts.

The symptoms of hyperthyroidism are not the same for everyone. Your symptoms will depend on how much hormone your thyroid gland is making, how long you have had the condition, and your age. If you are older, it’s easy to mistakenly dismiss your symptoms as normal signs of aging.

If you do not treat your hyperthyroidism, you may:

• Lose weight because your body’s metabolism is faster.
• Lose weight because your body’s metabolism is faster.
• Have heart problems such as rapid heart rate, atrial fibrillation, and heart failure.

In rare cases, hyperthyroidism can cause a life-threatening condition called thyroid storm, which develops when the thyroid gland releases large amounts of thyroid hormones in a short period of time. Thyroid storm usually happens after you have had a serious infection or you have had a lot of stress in your life.

Treatment:
The good news is that accurate thyroid function tests are available to diagnose hyperthyroidism and several treatment options are available if you have hyperthyroidism. Doctors use anti-thyroid medications and radioactive iodine to slow the production of thyroid hormones. Sometimes, treatment of hyperthyroidism involves surgery to remove part of your thyroid gland. Although hyperthyroidism can be serious if you ignore it, most people respond well once hyperthyroidism is diagnosed and treated.

The post

Hyperthyroidism appeared first on Any Lab Test Now - Killeen.

Symptom may include:

• Fatigue
• Sluggishness
• Increased sensitivity to cold
• Constipation
• Pale, dry skin
• A puffy face
• Hoarse voice
• An elevated blood cholesterol level
• Unexplained weight gain
• Muscle aches, tenderness and stiffness
• Pain, stiffness or swelling in your joints
• Muscle weakness
• Heavier than normal menstrual periods
• Brittle fingernails and hair
• Depression

When hypothyroidism isn’t treated, signs and symptoms can gradually become more severe. Constant stimulation of your thyroid to release more hormones may lead to an enlarged thyroid (goiter). In addition, you may become more forgetful, your thought processes may slow or you may feel depressed.

Treatment:
The good news is that accurate thyroid function tests are available to diagnose hypothyroidism, and treatment of hypothyroidism with synthetic thyroid hormone is usually simple, safe and effective once the proper dosage is established.

The post

Hypothyroidism appeared first on Any Lab Test Now - Killeen.

TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
Because of the normal feed-back loop, TSH rises whenever the thyroid gland fails to produce sufficient thyroid hormone. For the same reason, whenever there is too much thyroid hormone present in the serum, the brain responds by lowering the TSH. It is elevated in hypothyroidism and depressed in hyperthyroidism.

T4 (Thyroxine)
This is a measure of all of the active form of thyroid hormone in the blood. 95% of the total is bound to plasma proteins, particularly thyroid binding globulin (TBG).

It is elevated in hyperthyroidism and depressed in hypothyroidism. It is usually slightly elevated during pregnancy because of increased levels of TBG.

T3 (Triiodothyronine, T3-RIA) by radioimmunoassay
T3 (Triiodothyronine, T3-RIA) by radioimmunoassay T3 is metabolically a more active form of thyroid hormone than T4, but its’ effects are of shorter duration. It is elevated in hyperthyroidism and depressed in hypothyroidism.

T3 Uptake
This is a measure of the unbound throxine binding globulins in the blood (unsaturated with thyroid hormone). The less thyroid hormone that is present, the more unsaturated TBG is present. This is an indirect measure of thyroid hormone levels. It has nothing to do with T3, despite the name.

Free T3 (FT3, Free Triiodothyronine T3)
Free T3 is one of the determinations used to measure thyroid function. T3 is mostly bound to plasma proteins, and the remainder (FT3) is unbound. It is elevated in hyperthyroidism and depressed in hypothyroidism.

Free T4 (FT4, Free Thyroxin)
Most thyroid hormone is bound to plasma proteins. Some (about 5%) is not bound (“free”) and available to serve a metabolic role. Free T4 is the most accurate assessment of thyroid hormone levels, because it avoids changes in plasma protein binding capabilities. It is elevated in hyperthyroidism and depressed in hypothyroidism.

FTI (Free Thyroxine Index, FTI, T7)
The FTI is obtained by multiplying the (Total T4) times (T3 Uptake) to obtain an index. The FTI is considered a more reliable indicator of thyroid status in the presence of abnormalities in plasma protein binding. It is elevated in hyperthyroidism and depressed in hypothyroidism.

Thyroid Antibodies.
Thyroid Antibodies are tested for evidence of autoimmune thyroid diseases, such as Hashimoto’s or Graves’ disease. Thyroid antibodies may remain positive for years, and do not provide an indication of whether the person has normal or abnormal thyroid function. Furthermore, some patients with Hashimoto’s disease may have negative levels of circulating antibodies, and conversely, patients with positive levels of thyroid antibodies may never develop thyroid disease during their lifetime

The Diabetes Maintenance Panel is an effective panel for both diabetics and for those who want to see if they have diabetes.

Test Components:
The Diabetes Maintenance Panel includes the following tests:

1. Complete Blood Count (CBC)
2. Glucose, Serum (Fasting)
3. Hemoglobin A1c
4. Diabetic Urinalysis


The four tests in this panel will give you and your doctor a lot of knowledge. The Complete Blood Count (CBC) tests for blood disorders such as infection or anemia; the Fasting Glucose is used to detect both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, to help diagnose diabetes, and to monitor glucose levels in persons with diabetes; the Hemoglobin A1c can detect pre-diabetes, diagnose it, or see if diabetes is under control; and finally, the Diabetic Urinalysis will determine if albumin (protein) is found in your urine (if so, it’s possible your kidneys aren’t working properly).

The knowledge gained from the four tests in this panel will give you and your physician the necessary information to help monitor and/or adjust your diabetic medications.


Why Do I Need It?:
Diabetes can be a silent killer if left undetected and is the leading cause of blindness and kidney failure. It can also increase your chances of having a heart attack, stroke or infection.

Monitoring your diabetes may give you an opportunity to prevent the onset of these side effects or keep your diabetes from advancing. Knowledge is power.

High Results Indicate:

Elevated results could indicate congenital adrenal hyperplasia, adrenal cancer, or Cushing’s disease. Elevated levels of DHEA-S are not used to diagnose a specific condition; it usually indicates that further testing is needed to find the cause of the hormone imbalance.

Low Results Indicate:
Low levels of DHEA-S could indicate Addison’s disease or adrenal hypoplasia.

The MicroNutrient Test measures your body’s ability to absorb 32 vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other essential nutrients within your white blood cells. This non-fasting blood test tells you if you have a vitamin deficiency and gives you a plan for how to correct it.


More importantly, the results information can help you reduce the risk of illness and disease related to such deficiencies.

Did you know that about 50% of people taking multivitamins are STILL deficient?


The MicroNutrient Test can tell you which supplement to focus on – thereby eliminating your deficiency and any unnecessary spending on costly supplements.


You also need it because scientific evidence confirms that vitamin deficiencies are associated with disease processes and the overall conditions of your health. The MicroNutrient Test is the only test that takes a nutritional assessment and creates a plan to correct any deficiency negatively influencing customer’s health. Vitamin, mineral and antioxidant deficiencies have been shown to suppress immune function and contribute to chronic degenerative processes such as arthritis, cancer, Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Micronutrient Test is More Advanced Than other Laboratory Tests

Before the introduction of the Micronutrient Test, many diagnosis and risk assessments were based on clinical observation and measurements of static levels of certain nutrients in serum. Static serum levels are not always representative indicators for assessing cell metabolism and utilization.

MicroNutrient Test offers a unique means to scientifically assess the intracellular requirements of micronutrients that play an important role in overall health and wellness. Micronutrient test measure the biochemical function of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants, providing a powerful clinical assessment tool. Our panels are designed to provide you with the most comprehensive nutritional analysis available.

What if I am deficient?

Any Lab Test Now offers a truly functional intracellular test (Micronutrient Test), we also provide you with targeted nutrient repletion recommendations for those vitamins and minerals found to be deficient.

Why Nutritional Testing is Important?

• 1. Nutrient deficiencies are common, in fact 90% of people are deficient and 50% of those are already taking supplements.
• 2. Vitamin deficiencies contribute to common degenerative disease like heart disease, stroke, cancer and Alzheimer’s.
• 3. Many prescription medications can cause nutrient depletions. (Ask us to provide you with a chart)
• 4. Having a strong antioxidant defense system protects you against heart disease, cancer and other chronic conditions.
• 5. There can be too much of a “good thing” — too many antioxidants can be harmful. The only way to know what you need is to be tested.
• 6. Simply taking a multivitamin may not be enough to meet your nutritional needs.
• 7. You might be over supplementing with unnecessary vitamins, minerals or antioxidants. Too much can be harmful.
• 8. Aging can be caused by a lack of nutrients.
• 9. Heaving healthy cells promotes strong immune function and optimal health for a lifetime.
• 10. Your doctor thinks it is medically necessary for a comprehensive health care program.

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel


Total Protein is a measure of available building blocks for many compounds in the body. Protein are used to form enzymes, hormones, antibodies and many structural components like muscle tissue. The main proteins in the blood are albumin and globulin. Increases are seen in liver disorders, alcoholism, and chronic infections and inflammation. Decreases are noted in malabsorption, colitis, and poor nutrition.


Albumin is a primary protein in the blood and is made from amino acids in the liver and is also available from the diet, especially from eggs. It helps with the immune system, maintains proper fluid balance in the tissues and plays a role in nutrient transport and waste removal. Increases are seen in kidney disorders and dehydration. Decreases are noted in decreased immune function and edema.


Globulin is the other primary protein and has important functions in immune response. Among its other jobs are carrying hormones and lipids. Compounds known as imunoglobulins, like IgA, IgG and IgE are highly important for various immune issues like allergies and infections in the mucus linings of the body. Increases are seen in chronic infection and during recovery from acute infections, as well as in Rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and in some cases when stomach acids are deficient. Decreases are primarily found in patients with compromised immunity and in cases of poor nutrition or malabsorption.


BUN - Blood Urea Nitrogen is an end product of protein breakdown. It’s produced mainly in the liver and is eliminated by the kidneys. Increases can be caused by excessive protein consumption, inadequate water consumption and kidney disorders. Decreases are related to poor diet, liver problems, excessive water consumption and malabsorption.


Uric Acid is an end product of a protein digestion, mainly a type of protein called purine. Some foods that are high in purine are organ meats, spinach, mushrooms, yeast and asparagus. It also comes from the breakdown of purine proteins in the nucleus of cells. Increases occur when the kidneys can’t eliminate properly or with gouty arthritis, alcoholism and high protein diets. Decreases are primarily associated with low protein diet or malabsorption.


Glucose is sugar that is used by the cells to provide energy. It is the only type of fuel that can be used by the brain and nervous system, whereas other tissues can also burn fats for energy. Glucose comes from the digestion of carbohydrates and may also be stored as glycogen for later use. It is primarily kept in balance by 2 hormones made in the pancreas – insulin and glucagon, although the liver, adrenal and thyroid glands are also involved. Increased values are related to diabetes, stress, Syndrome X and diet. Decreased values can reflect hypoglycemia and result from overproduction of insulin, alcoholism and liver disorders.


SGOT (also called AST) is an enzyme found mainly in the liver, heart, muscle and gonads. It functions in conversion of cholesterol to hormones and in the synthesis of several acids formed from the breakdown of proteins and fats. Increases are seen in congestive heart disease, heart attack, liver disease and alcoholism. Decreases are seen in gonadal dysfunction and vitamin B-6 deficiency.


SGPT (also called ALT) is an enzyme found primarily in the liver where it is produced when fatty membranes release stored food substances. It is released when cells die and is used to measure liver damage and other cellular damage. Increases are seen in liver disorders, alcoholism, vitamin A deficiency and heart attack. Decreases are seen in congested liver with poor release of stored nutrients.


GGT is another enzyme found primarily in the liver that is responsible for transporting amino acids and proteins into cells. Increases are seen in obstruction of the bile duct, liver damage and alcohol use, especially chronic. Decreases are seen when the liver is congested and in hypothyroid conditions.


Calcium is a principle component of the bones and teeth with 99% of the body’s calcium found in these structures. The other 1% is very important to processes like blood clotting, nerve and muscle function, and various enzyme activities. Increases are seen in disorders involving the parathyroid and thyroid glands, excess intake of vitamin D, and in conditions related to much acid in the body. Decreases are seen in parathyroid dysfunction, vitamin D deficiency, magnesium deficiency and numerous other conditions.


Iron is an important part of hemoglobin the red blood cells, carrying oxygen to all cells of the body. It also provides information on how the liver and spleen are functioning. Increases are indicative of some types of anemia where adequate co-factors are deficient leaving unbound iron that can cause free radicals. Decreases are seen in iron deficiency anemia, fatigue and bleeding in the G.I. tract.


Potassium is an electrolyte related to fluid balance and is used mainly inside the body’s cells. It is necessary for proper function of the heart and muscles. Increases are seen with excessive destruction of cells, underactive adrenal glands and kidney disease. Decreases are mainly seen in diarrhea, diuretic use, nutritional deficiency and overactive adrenal glands.


Sodium is also an electrolyte. A low level of blood sodium means you have hyponatremia, which is usually due to too much sodium loss, too much water intake or retention, or to fluid accumulation in the body (edema). Low sodium may be due to dehydration or a disease process.


Bilirubin (Total Bilirubin) comes from the normal breakdown of red blood cells. This breakdown is done by the spleen, which produces indirect bilirubin, and the liver, which produces direct bilirubin. The combination of these two forms is called total bilirubin. Increases are seen in liver and spleen dysfunction. Decreases are found in iron deficiency anemia and also a type of spleen dysfunction.


Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is actually the total of bicarbonate and carbon dioxide. These two substances are in a dynamic equilibrium and help maintain the balance of acid and base in the body. The test also reflects the ability of the lungs to exchange oxygen for the carbon dioxide gas. Increases indicate more alkaline blood condition and in the extreme, metabolic alkalosis. Decreases show more acidity in the blood and in the extreme metabolic acidosis. Chloride is another electrolyte involved in maintaining proper fluid balance and pH balance. It is also part of the stomach’s hydrochloric acid that digests protein and levels are also influenced by kidney function. Increases are seen when too much acid is in the system, in dehydration, and with swelling caused by too much fluid inside the cells. Decreases are seen in excessive sweating, stomach acid deficiency and edema.


Creatinine is a waste product of muscle activity and levels are related to a person’s muscle mass and how much exercise and strenuous activity they perform. Increases can also be related to inadequate kidney function. Deceases may be due to lack of muscle mass or degeneration

1. White blood cell count.
2. White blood cell differential.
3. Red blood cell count.
4. Red blood cell density.
5. Hemoglobin levels.
6. Blood platelet count.


Why Do I Need It?:
The CBC is perfect if you…

* Feel fatigued.
* Think you have an infection.
* Experience difficulty recovering from infection or injury.
* Experience excessive bleeding or blood clot formation.


Having a CBC test is also a good idea if you have a personal or family history of inflammation, bruising, blood disorders or leukemia.


Test Details::
Normal ranges can depend on sex and age. Below are the ranges for a healthy adult.

High Results Indicate:

RED BLOOD CELLS: The clinical term for high red blood cells is polycythemia. When the red blood cell count is elevated, the blood’s thickness is increased. This causes reduced blood flow and in some cases blood clots.


WHITE BLOOD CELLS: The clinical term for high white blood cells is leukocytosis. When the white blood cell count is elevated, it is an indication of infection. White blood cells, called leukocytes, fight diseases and infections in the body.


PLATELETS: The clinical term for high platelet counts is thrombocytosis. Having an elevated level of platelets does not always indicate a medical problem. Platelets can be elevated due to a secondary disease or disorder such as an inflammatory disease. Low levels may indicate possible bleeding


HEMATOCRIT: Elevated hematocrit levels are seen in people living in high altitudes, chronic smokers, and in cases of dehydration.


HEMOGLOBIN: Elevated hemoglobin levels are seen with several conditions, the most common being dehydration.

Low Results Indicate:
