Short Name: CRE-24Sample required: SerumResult Time: 1 Days Creatinine is a product of muscle metabolism. It is produced at a nearly constant rate and is excreted in the urine. Because of its constant rate of production, the amount of creatinine in the urine is an indirect measurement of kidney function (glomerular filtration rate). A 24-hour
Read moreShort Name: CRE-CLESample required: SerumResult Time: 1 Days A measure of blood creatinine and a 24-Hour urine creatinine are used to calculate creatinine clearance. This test is used to help evaluate the rate and efficiency of kidney filtration (glomerular filtration rate). It is used to detect kidney dysfunction and/or the presence of decreased blood flow
Read moreShort Name: hs-CRPSample required: SerumResult Time: 1 Days This is an automated blood test designed for greater accuracy in measuring low levels of CRP, mainly to assess cardiovascular risk. High CRP levels are associated with inflammation, which can damage the inner lining of the arteries and make having a heart attack more likely. People with
Read moreShort Name: CRPSample required: SerumResult Time: 2 HR High CRP levels are associated with inflammation, which can damage the inner lining of the arteries and make having a heart attack more likely. People with HIGHER hs-CRP values have the highest risk of cardiovascular disease, and those with LOWER values have less of a risk.
Read moreShort Name: C-PEPSample required: SerumResult Time: 1 Days C-peptide is a polypeptide chain derived from the breakdown of pro-insulin. Both insulin and C-peptide are released into portal circulation in equimolar amounts. In other words, any insulin the body produces will be reflected in the C-peptide level, therefore, the C-peptide test can be used to monitor
