- Non-HDL Cholesterol: A marker for atherogenic lipoproteins.
Kidney Function Tests
- Serum Creatinine and BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen): Measure kidney function.
- eGFR (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate): Determines the level of kidney function.
- Creatinine Clearance Rate (CCR): A more precise measure of renal clearance.
Liver Function Tests (LFT)
- Serum Bilirubin (Total/Direct/Indirect): Evaluates liver function and bile metabolism.
- ALT (SGPT) and AST (SGOT): Markers of liver cell injury.
- Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP): Indicates bile duct obstruction or bone disorders.
Special Fluids Analysis
- Ascitic Fluid, Pericardial Fluid, and Pleural Fluid: Analyzed for protein, glucose, LDH, and other markers to diagnose infections, malignancies, or other conditions.
- Synovial Fluid: Tested for glucose, protein, and electrolytes to assess joint health.
Cardiovascular Risk Assessment
- C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and hs-CRP: Indicators of inflammation, aiding in cardiovascular risk prediction.
- CK-MB: A specific marker for cardiac muscle damage.
Hormones and Proteins
- Albumin and Globulin: Reflect liver function and nutritional status.
- Protein Electrophoresis: Identifies abnormal proteins in diseases like multiple myeloma.
Toxicology and Drug Monitoring
- Amphetamines, Cocaine, and Benzodiazepines (Urine): Used in substance abuse testing.
- Tacrolimus and Cyclosporine: Monitor therapeutic levels in transplant patients.
Rare and Advanced Tests
- Serum ACE (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme): Useful in diagnosing sarcoidosis.
