Short Name: RETICSample required: EDTA Whole BloodResult Time: 3 HR Reticulocytes are immature red blood cells (RBCs), typically composing about 1% of the red cells in the human body. They are produced in the bone marrow when stem cells differentiate and progress toward RBC development, eventually forming reticulocytes and finally mature RBCs after circulating for
Read moreShort Name: RENINSample required: EDTA PlasmaResult Time: 7 Days Renin, also known as angiotensinogenase, is an enzyme that participates in the bodys renin-angiotensin system (RAS) that mediates extracellular volume and arterial vasoconstriction. Thus it regulates the bodys mean arterial blood pressure. Renin is released from the kidneys when there is a drop in blood pressure,
Read moreShort Name: RBSSample required: SerumResult Time: 1 Days Random glucose test is a blood sugar test taken from a non-fasting subject. Several random measurements may be taken throughout the day. Random testing is useful because glucose levels in healthy people do not vary widely throughout the day. Blood glucose levels that vary widely may mean
Read moreShort Name: PTHSample required: EDTA PlasmaResult Time: 1 Days Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a single-chain polypeptide hormone secreted by the parathyroid glands. PTH helps the body maintain stable levels of calcium in the blood. It is part of a feedback loop that includes calcium, PTH, vitamin D, and, to some extent, phosphorous (phosphate) and magnesium.
Read moreShort Name: PT1Sample required: Citrate PlasmaResult Time: 2 HR Prothrombin time (PT) is a blood test that measures how long it takes blood to clot. A prothrombin time test can be used to check for bleeding problems. PT is also used to check whether medicine to prevent blood clots is working. A PT test may
Read moreShort Name: PSTSample required: Citrate PlasmaResult Time: 3 Days Protein S is a vitamin K-dependent glycoprotein present in platelets and synthesized within the liver and endothelial cells. Protein S works as part of the natural anticoagulant system by acting as a cofactor to activated protein C (APC) in the proteolytic inactivation of procoagulant factors Va

Protein S works as part of the natural anticoagulant system by acting as a cofactor to activated protein C (APC) in the proteolytic inactivation of procoagulant factors Va
Read moreShort Name: PCTSample required: SerumResult Time: 5 Days Protein C (PC) is a vitamin K-dependent plasma protein which is synthesized in the liver. It is a physiological inhibitor of the coagulation cascade which, together with Protein S, cleaves the activated forms of Factors V and VIII. PC also promotes fibrinolysis by activating Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor
Read moreShort Name: PCFSample required: Citrate PlasmaResult Time: 3 Days These tests measure the levels of protein C and protein S in your blood. Protein C and protein S tests are two separate tests that are often done at the same time.Protein C and protein S work together to prevent your blood from clotting too much.
