Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA)
A carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) test is a blood test used to help diagnose and manage certain types of cancers during treatment.
Blood.
No specific patient preparation protocol required. Inform the doctor if you are on any medications, have any allergies or underlying medical conditions before this test
CEA may be produced by the cancer cells. CEA may then be detected in blood, but it will not indicate which kind of cancer is present. CEA is often used to monitor patients with cancers of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract such as bowel (colorectal) cancer. It may be raised in other cancers, such as ovarian and breast cancers, but can also be raised in benign conditions such as liver disease and inflammatory bowel disease (Crohns disease or ulcerative colitis).

UGX 90,000CA-125 (Ovarian cancer)
A Cancer Antigen 125 test measures the amount of the protein cancer antigen 125 in your blood helping to monitor ovarian cancer during and after treatment.
Blood.
No specific patient preparation protocol required. Inform the doctor if you are on any medications, have any allergies or underlying medical conditions before this test.
CA 125 is a protein often found on the surface of ovarian cancer cells and in some normal tissues. It is used as a marker for ovarian cancer. However, CA 125 levels may also be high in other types of non-cancerous conditions, including menstruation, pregnancy, and pelvic inflammatory disease.
UGX 75,000CA-125 (Ovarian cancer)
UGX 75,000CA 19-9 (Pancreatic Cancer)
This test measures the amount of a protein called cancer antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) in the blood helping to monitor the progress of pancreatic cancer treatment.
Blood.
No specific patient preparation protocol required. Inform the doctor if you are on any medications, have any allergies or underlying medical conditions before this test.
Cancer antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) is a protein that exists on the surface of certain cancer cells. CA 19-9 does not cause cancer; rather, it is shed by the tumor cells and can be detected by laboratory tests in blood and sometimes other body fluids. CA 19-9 is elevated in about 70% to 95% of people with advanced pancreatic cancer. However, CA 19-9 may also be elevated in other cancers, conditions, and diseases such as: gallbladder and bile duct cancers (cholangiocarcinoma), colorectal cancer, gastric cancers, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, bile duct obstruction (e.g., gallstones), pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, thyroid disease, and liver disease. Small amounts of CA 19-9 are present in the blood of healthy people. Since CA 19-9 is not specific for pancreatic cancer, it cannot be used by itself for screening or diagnosis.

UGX 75,000Anti Streptolysin O Titre
This is a blood test that checks for effects of a recent streptococcus bacteria infection that may cause Rheumatic fever or kidney disease.
Blood.
You may be instructed not to eat six hours before the test. Inform the doctor if you are on any medications, have any allergies or underlying medical conditions before this test.
Antistreptolysin O (ASO) is an antibody targeted against streptolysin O, a toxic enzyme produced by group A Streptococcus bacteria. Group A Streptococcus (Streptococcus pyogenes) is the bacterium responsible for causing strep throat and a variety of other infections, including skin infections (pyoderma, impetigo, cellulitis). In most cases, strep infections are identified and treated with antibiotics, and the infections resolve. When a strep infection does not cause identifiable symptoms and goes untreated, or is treated ineffectively, complications namely rheumatic fever and a type of kidney disease (glomerulonephritis), can sometimes develop, especially in young children.

UGX 30,000Anti Nuclear Antibody (ANA)
This test looks for antibodies in your blood that may indicate the presence of an autoimmune condition which causes your immune system to attack your own body cells, tissues, and organs.
Blood.
No specific patient preparation protocol required. Inform the doctor if you are on any medications, have any allergies or underlying medical conditions before your test
Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) are a group of autoantibodies produced by a person’s immune system when it fails to adequately distinguish between “self” and “nonself.” ANA react with components of the body’s own healthy cells and cause signs and symptoms such as tissue and organ inflammation, joint and muscle pain, and fatigue.

UGX 70,000Alpha Feto Protein
This test measures the level of Alpha Feto Protein (AFP) in the blood. Liver damage and certain cancers can increase AFP concentrations in the blood.
Blood.
No specific patient preparation protocol required. Inform the doctor if you are on any medications, have any allergies or underlying medical conditions before your test
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a protein produced primarily by the liver in a developing baby (fetus) and the portion of a developing embryo that is similar to the yolk cavity in bird eggs. AFP is produced whenever liver cells are regenerating. With chronic liver diseases, such as hepatitis and cirrhosis, AFP may be chronically elevated. Very high concentrations of AFP may be produced by certain tumors. This characteristic makes the AFP test useful as a tumor marker. Increased amounts of AFP are found in many people with a type of liver cancer called hepatocellular carcinoma and in a liver cancer occurring in infants called hepatoblastoma. They are also found in some people with cancers of the testicles or ovaries.

UGX 65,000ORAL GLUCOSE TOLERANCE TEST
This test enables diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes in pregnant women.
Blood.
Inform your doctor if you are on any medications, have any allergies or underlying medical conditions before this test. The individual undertaking the test should fast for 12 hours prior to the test and have a meal with at least 75 gms of carbohydrates. After the meal, the patient should not take any food before having the test. Take rest for two hours during the waiting period and do not work or strain yourself because exercise may sometimes increase the blood sugar levels. If you are pregnant then there is no need to fast.
Glucose is the primary energy source for the body’s cells and the only energy source for the brain and nervous system. A steady supply must be available for use, and a relatively constant level of glucose must be maintained in the blood Postprandial blood sugar test is used to measure the amount of glucose present in our blood, after two hours of eating. This test indicates how your body responds to sugar and starch after you have a meal.

UGX 40,000HEPATITIS B VIRAL LOAD
This test measures the actual amount of hepatitis B viruses in a blood sample which helps to determine whether the viruses are reproducing in the liver.
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.
Hepatitis B is an infection of the liver caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). This is one type among the other types of viral hepatitis. This infection can spread from one person to another through contact with infected blood and body fluids.
