FOR HEART

HSCRP

The hs-CRP test, or high-sensitivity C-reactive protein test, is a blood test that measures low levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the blood. CRP is produced by the liver in response to inflammation, and the hs-CRP test is more sensitive than a standard CRP test, allowing it to detect even small increases in CRP levels. This test is primarily used to assess the risk of cardiovascular diseases, including heart attack and stroke. 

Normal ranges: Normal ranges for hs-CRP can vary, but generally, levels below 1.0 mg/L are considered low risk, 1.0 to 3.0 mg/L are average risk, and above 3.0 mg/L are high risk, according to Metropolis Healthcare. 

APOLIPO A

Apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) is a protein that is a major component of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), often referred to as “good” cholesterol. It plays a crucial role in transporting cholesterol from the body’s tissues back to the liver for removal, helping to prevent the buildup of cholesterol in arteries and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. 

Reference Ranges:

Adult males typically have ApoA-I levels between 75-160 mg/dL, while adult females typically range from 80-175 mg/dL, according to Medscape. 

APOLIPO B

Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) is a protein that plays a crucial role in carrying cholesterol and other fats through the bloodstream. It is a primary component of lipoproteins like LDL (low-density lipoprotein, often called “bad cholesterol”) and VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein). Elevated ApoB levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, making the ApoB test a valuable tool for assessing heart health. 

Reference Range:

In adults, a normal ApoB level is generally considered to be less than 130 mg/dL (1.3 g/L), according to Medscape. 

MODIFIED ASCVD RISK FACTOR ANALYSER

A Modified ASCVD Risk Factor Analysis refers to assessing an individual’s risk of developing Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD), but with a focus on modifiable risk factors and potentially including additional factors or utilizing different risk assessment tools than the standard Pooled Cohort Equations (PCE). This approach aims to identify individuals who might benefit from more intensive preventive measures, especially in younger adults or those with specific risk-enhancing factors.

FOR KIDNEY

URINE MICRO ALBUMIN

Microalbuminuria is defined as excretion of 30-300 mg of albumin per 24 hours (or 20-200 mcg/min or 30-300 mcg/mg creatinine) on 2 of 3 urine collections. [1, 2]

The detection of low levels of albumin excretion (microalbuminuria) has been linked to the identification of incipient diabetic kidney disease. This phase calls for aggressive management to prevent or retard overt diabetic nephropathy.

URINE SPOT PCR TEST

A spot urine protein-creatinine ratio (PCR) test, also known as a urine protein test, is a diagnostic test that measures protein and creatinine levels in a urine sample. It helps assess kidney function and detect potential kidney problems, particularly proteinuria (excess protein in the urine). The test is considered a reliable and convenient alternative to a 24-hour urine collection for assessing proteinuria, especially in certain conditions like hypertension and preeclampsia. 

TO TEST NERVES

BIOTHESIMETER

A biothesiometer test, also known as biothesiometry, is a non-invasive medical procedure used to assess nerve function, specifically the ability to perceive vibrations. It’s often employed to detect and monitor diabetic neuropathy, a nerve damage complication that can occur in individuals with diabetes. The test involves using a handheld device, a biothesiometer, which emits vibrations of varying intensities to the skin, typically on the feet. The patient indicates when they can feel the vibration, and the threshold at which they perceive it is recorded. This measurement, known as the vibration perception threshold (VPT), helps determine the extent of nerve damage. 

ABI

The ankle-brachial index (ABI) test is a non-invasive method used to assess blood flow in the legs and detect peripheral artery disease (PAD). It compares blood pressure in the ankle to blood pressure in the arm, providing a ratio that indicates the presence and severity of PAD.
