Short Name: TROP-TSample required: SerumResult Time: 2 HR Troponin T (shortened TnT or TropT) is a part of the troponin complex, which are proteins integral to the contraction of skeletal and heart muscles. They are expressed in skeletal and cardiac myocytes.
Read moreShort Name: TRISample required: SerumResult Time: 1 Days Triglyceride is an ester composed of a glycerol bound to three fatty acids. It is the main constituent of vegetable oil and animal fats. The primary function of triglycerides is to store energy in adipocytes and muscle cells. HIGH levels of triglycerides in the blood are associated
Read moreShort Name: TPHASample required: SerumResult Time: 1 Days The TPHA test is an indirect hemagglutination assay used for the detection and titration of antibodies against the causative agent of syphilis, Treponema pallidum. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease that occurs throughout the world and its incidence seems to be slightly on the increase at this
Read moreShort Name: TRANSample required: SerumResult Time: 1 Days Transferrin (also known as siderophilin) is a glycoprotein synthesized in the liver. Transferrin is the main protein in the blood that binds to iron and transports it throughout the body. The main role of transferrin is to deliver iron from absorption centres in the duodenum and red
Read moreShort Name: TOXO-MSample required: SerumResult Time: 1 Days Toxoplasma gondii is a species of parasitic protozoa in the genus Toxoplasma.The definitive host of T. gondii is the cat, but the parasite can be carried by many warm-blooded animals. Toxoplasmosis, the disease of which T. gondii is the causative agent, is usually minor and self-limiting but

Read moreShort Name: TTestoSample required: SerumResult Time: 2 HR Testosterone is the major androgenic hormone. In males, 95 % of it is produced by interstitial (Leydig) cells and 5 % in the adrenal gland. In females, it is synthesized in the ovaries and the adrenal gland. Testosterone secretion is regulated by LH in males (negative feedback).
Read moreShort Name: PSA-TSample required: SerumResult Time: 2 HR Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a glycoprotein located in ductal epithelial cells of the prostate gland and can be detected in low concentrations in the sera of healthy men. PSA exists in two forms in the blood: free (not bound) and complexed (cPSA, bound to a protein). The
Read moreShort Name: TIBCSample required: SerumResult Time: 1 Days Total iron binding capacity (TIBC) test measures the bloods capacity to bind iron with transferrin, hence, indirectly it measures transferrin availability, and is a reflection of iron stores. TIBC is most frequently used along with a serum iron test to evaluate people suspected of having either iron
Read moreShort Name: TSHSample required: SerumResult Time: 2 HR Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH or thyrotropin) is a glycoprotein secreted by thyrotrophic cells of the anterior pituitary. It consists of two sub-units: the alpha sub-unit which is common to FSH, LH, hCG and TSH, and the beta sub-unit which is biologically specific and antigenically distinct. TSH is part
