Creatinine
A carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) test is a blood test used to help diagnose and manage certain types of cancers during treatment.
Blood.
You may be instructed to fast overnight or refrain from eating cooked meat; some studies have shown that eating cooked meat prior to testing can temporarily increase the level of creatinine. If a 24-hour urine sample is being collected, it is important to save all the urine produced during that time period.
Both creatine and creatinine are produced by the body at a relatively constant rate. Since almost all creatinine is filtered from the blood by the kidneys and released into the urine, blood levels are usually a good indicator of how well the kidneys are working. The amount of creatinine you produce depends on your body size and your muscle mass. For this reason, creatinine levels are usually slightly higher in men than in women and children. Results from a blood creatinine test may be used in combination with results from other tests, such as a 24-hour urine creatinine test, to calculate values that are used to evaluate kidney function.

UGX 20,000URIC ACID
This blood test is used to check for gout and also monitor people undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatment for cancer.
Blood.
No specific patient preparation protocol required. Inform your doctor if you are on any medications or have any underlying medical conditions or allergies before undergoing this test.
Uric acid is produced by the breakdown of purines. Purines are nitrogen-containing compounds found in the cells of the body, including our DNA. If too much uric acid is produced or not enough is removed, it can accumulate in the body, causing increased levels in the blood (hyperuricemia). The presence of excess uric acid can cause gout, a condition characterized by inflammation of the joints due to the formation of uric acid crystals in the joint (synovial) fluid. Excess uric acid can also be deposited in tissues such as the kidney, leading to kidney stones or kidney failure.

UGX 30,000PROSTATE SPECIFIC ANTIGEN (SCREENING)
This tests is used to screen for prostate cancer however, PSA levels are also affected by other things such as enlarges prostate, a urinary tract infection or recent ejaculation.
Blood.
No specific patient preparation protocol required.
Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is a protein produced primarily by cells in the prostate, a small gland that encircles the urethra in males and produces a fluid that makes up part of semen. Most of the PSA that the prostate produces is released into this fluid, but small amounts of it are also released into the bloodstream. Prostate-specific antigen test indicates the presence of prostate cancer, prostatitis or an enlarged prostate gland in men.

Hb electrophoresis is done to detect hemoglobinopathies. A hemoglobinopathy is an inherited blood disorder in which an individual has an abnormal form of hemoglobin (variant) or decreased production of hemoglobin (thalassemia).

UGX 45,000Luitenising Hormone
This test measures the amount of luteinizing hormone in the blood. (LH) is a hormone associated with reproduction. Its stimulation of either ovary or testicles results in the release of an egg from the ovary (ovulation) in women or testosterone production in men.
Blood.
Early morning samples are preferred. A woman’s sample should be collected at specific times during her menstrual cycle. Inform the doctor if you are on any medications, have any allergies or underlying medical conditions before this test.
LH is produced by the pituitary gland. In women of childbearing age, several hormones (LH, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), estrogen and progesterone) rise and fall in a specific sequence during each menstrual cycle. In men, LH stimulates Leydig cells in the testicles to produce testosterone. In infants and children, LH levels rise shortly after birth and then fall to very low levels. Results of an LH test are typically considered with results of other hormone tests, such as FSH, estrogens, and/or testosterone.
UGX 50,000Luitenising Hormone
UGX 50,000Follicle Stimulating Hormone
This blood test measures level of Follicle Stimulating Hormone(FSH) in the blood which is responsible for fertility.
Blood.
No test preparation is needed, but early morning samples are preferred and a woman’s sample should be collected at specific times during her menstrual cycle.
FSH is made by the pituitary gland located in the brain, In women of childbearing age, FSH stimulates the growth and maturation of eggs (follicles) in the ovaries during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle. In men, FSH stimulates the testicles to produce mature sperm and also promotes the production of androgen binding proteins. Disorders affecting the hypothalamus, pituitary, and/or the ovaries or testicles can cause the production of too much or too little FSH, resulting in a variety of conditions such as infertility, abnormal menstrual cycles, or early (precocious) or delayed puberty.

These blood tests help to assess the function of the thyroid gland and detect any disorders.
These blood tests help to assess the function of the thyroid gland and detect any disorders.
Blood.
No specific patient preparation protocol required. Inform your doctor if you are on any medications or have any underlying medical conditions or allergies before undergoing this test.
A thyroid panel is a group of tests that may be ordered together to help evaluate thyroid gland function and to help diagnose thyroid disorders. The tests included in a thyroid panel measure the amount of thyroid hormones in the blood. These hormones are chemical substances that travel through the blood and control or regulate the body’s metabolism i.e how it functions and uses energy.

UGX 215,000Prothrombin Time (INR)
The prothrombin time (PT) is a test that helps evaluate your body’s ability to appropriately form blood clots.
Blood.
None needed, however if you are receiving anticoagulant therapy, the blood sample should be collected before taking your daily dose.
A PT measures the number of seconds it takes for a clot to form in your sample of blood after substances (reagents) are added. The PT is often performed along with a partial thromboplastin time (PTT) and together they assess the amount and function of proteins called coagulation factors that are an important part of proper blood clot formation. For people taking warfarin, most laboratories report PT results that have been adjusted to the INR. A prolonged PT means that the blood is taking too long to form a clot, this may be caused by conditions such as liver disease, vitamin K deficiency, or a coagulation factor deficiency (e.g., factor VII deficiency).
UGX 35,000Prothrombin Time (INR)
UGX 35,000Free T4
This is a test used to evaluate the proper functioning of the thyroid gland and monitor thyroid treatment.
Blood.
If you take thyroid hormone as treatment for thyroid disease, it is recommended that your blood sample be drawn before you take your dose for that day. Acute illness may also affect thyroid testing results so it is generally recommended that thyroid testing be avoided in hospitalized patients. Inform the doctor if you are on any medications, have any allergies or underlying medical conditions before this test.
Most of the hormone produced by the thyroid is T4. This hormone is relatively inactive, but it is converted into the much more active T3 in the liver and other tissues. If the thyroid gland does not produce sufficient T4 and T3 (underactive thyroid), due to thyroid dysfunction or to insufficient TSH, then the affected person experiences symptoms of hypothyroidism such as weight gain, dry skin, cold intolerance, irregular menstruation, and fatigue. If the thyroid gland produces too much T4 and T3, the affected person may experience symptoms associated with overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), such as rapid heart rate, anxiety, weight loss, difficulty sleeping, tremors in the hands, and puffiness around dry, irritated eyes and in some cases, bulging eyes.
