1. S.CALCIUM
The test measures the total amount of calcium in your blood, including both free (ionized) calcium and calcium bound to proteins.
It provides crucial information about calcium levels, helping diagnose and manage conditions like osteoporosis, kidney disease, parathyroid disorders, and certain cancers.
Generally, fasting is not required. However, it’s important to inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you’re taking, as these can affect the test results.
Results are typically available within a few hours to a day, allowing for prompt medical decision-making based on the calcium levels in your blood.
Abnormal levels can be caused by various factors, including parathyroid gland disorders, kidney disease, certain cancers, and dietary imbalances. Your healthcare provider will interpret the results and provide guidance based on your specific condition.
2. TROP I
High Troponin I levels indicate heart muscle damage, commonly associated with heart attacks and other cardiac conditions.
Certain medications and medical conditions can influence Troponin I levels. Inform your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you are taking.
