1. SERUM RENIN

The Serum Renin Test measures renin levels to assess kidney function and diagnose conditions related to blood pressure regulation and adrenal function.

You may need to avoid certain foods, activities, or medications before the test. Follow specific instructions from your healthcare provider for accurate results.

The test is often performed in the morning, as renin levels can vary throughout the day. Timing instructions will be provided by your healthcare provider.

Elevated or decreased renin levels can indicate conditions such as secondary hypertension, kidney disorders, or adrenal dysfunction. Further evaluation may be needed.

Results are generally available within 24 to 48 hours after the blood sample is collected, allowing for prompt review and diagnosis.

2. PSA TOTAL

The PSA Total Test measures the level of prostate-specific antigen in the blood, helping to screen for prostate cancer, monitor existing conditions, and evaluate treatment effectiveness.

Avoid vigorous activities and sexual activity for 48 hours before the test. Inform your doctor about any medications you are taking. No fasting is required.

Elevated PSA levels may suggest prostate inflammation, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or prostate cancer. Further tests may be required for a definitive diagnosis.

Results are typically available within 24 to 48 hours after the blood sample is collected.

Discuss the results with your healthcare provider to determine the next steps, which may include additional tests or a referral to a specialist for further evaluation.
