Read moreShort Name: UASample required: SerumResult Time: 1 Days Uric acid is produced by the breakdown of purines. Purines are chemicals that come from nucleic acids (DNA). They enter the circulation from digestion of foods, or drinks (such as liver, anchovies, mackerel, dried beans and peas, beer, and wine), or from normal breakdown and turnover of

While LOWER than normal uric acid levels in the urine

Read moreShort Name: TSH-AbSample required: SerumResult Time: 1 Days The TSH receptor is present on the basal surface of thyroid follicular cells. It is involved in regulating thyrocyte cell growth and function by mediating thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) action. The TSH receptor is also the target autoantigen in autoimmune thyroid diseases. Autoantibodies to the TSH receptor

It is highly tissue-specific, and persists in the circulation for days. However, it is only detectable at 4 hours or more post injury. Troponin I elevation is
