What is Carbama zepine ? Carbama zepine is an anti-epileptic drug used to treat seizures. Once administered, its absorption in the body is slow and unpredictable with approximately 2-3% of the applied dose discharged via urine. Its concentration peaks about 4-8 hours after ingestion, but it may take up to 26 hours for it to take effect. Monitoring serum carbamazepine...

What is COVID Antibodies IgG ? COVID Antibody test is used to recognize individuals with the adaptive immune response against SARS-CoV-2, which indicates a recent or prior infection. Generally, IgG antibodies start to develop after 2 weeks from the onset or after recovering from an infection. COVID Antibodies IgG (Quantitative) test is a serology test used to assess the antibodies in...

What is COVID Antibody IgM ? Antibody production is the first line of defense against any pathogen. IgM is the first antibody produced in response to attack and is primarily detectable during the early onset of a disease. COVID Antibody IgM is used to semi-quantitatively detect these IgM antibodies in blood plasma and serum. If your COVID Antibody IgM test is positive,...

What is Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) ? Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) plays a role in cancer dissemination as CEA levels are increased in almost all types of cancers (mainly ovarian cancer). It is normally produced during the development of a fetus and production stops before birth. It is usually not present in the blood of healthy adults. Continuous monitoring of Carcinoembryonic antigen...

What is COVID Neutralizing Antibody ? Infection with COVID-19 triggers an immune response, which involves the production of antibodies. Neutralizing Antibody is a different class of binding antibodies that prevent the interaction of the virus and the host, thereby preventing the infection. COVID Neutralizing Antibody Test will identify this neutralizing antibody and determine the ability of the body to prevent...

What is C-Peptide? C-Peptide is a protein released into the blood during the process of insulin production by the pancreas. C-peptide Test test can say how well your body makes insulin. It can also help to differentiate between Type-1 and Type-2 diabetes. Technique E.C.L.I.A Who prescribes Endocrinologists Sample type SERUM Fasting Fasting required

What is C-reactive protein (CRP) ? C-reactive protein (CRP) is produced by the liver in response to inflammation and its levels can be measured in the blood. There are several conditions such as inflammation, infections, heart attack, stress, trauma, or surgery in which an increase in C-Reactive Protein levels is observed. Determination of CRP is clinically useful to screen activity...

What is Cystatin C? Cystatin C is a small protein found in body fluids like blood. It is filtered by the glomeruli (tiny blood vessels) in the kidneys. Healthy kidneys maintain a healthy level of Cystatin C in the blood. The test assesses kidney functioning by measuring the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), the rate at which kidneys filter the fluid....

What is Complement 4 ? Complement 4 is one of the activation proteins taking part in the classical pathway of the complement system involved in innate and adaptive immunity. The activation of pathways is related to the utilization of C4, thereby reducing its concentration. Complement 4 test measures the amount of Complement 4 proteins in the blood. Decreased...

What is Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate? Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) is a steroid hormone, which plays an important role in the development of secondary sexual characteristics during puberty. Androgen, a male sex hormone is present in both males as well as females. Secretion of DHEA-S is controlled by the adrenocorticotropic hormone produced by the pituitary gland. This test measures the levels...
