Using state-of-the-art technology, we provide accurate results that help guide diagnosis and treatment for various health conditions.
Our Chemistry Laboratory at The Black Nazarene Hospital Inc. offers a wide range of tests to assess various metabolic, kidney, liver, and cardiac functions. Using state-of-the-art technology, we provide accurate results that help guide diagnosis and treatment for various health conditions.
Chemistry Services:
- ABG (Arterial Blood Gas) – Measures oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH levels in the blood to assess lung function and metabolic status.
- Amylase – Enzyme test used to diagnose pancreatic disorders.
- BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) – Evaluates kidney function by measuring the amount of nitrogen in the blood.
- Bilirubin – Assesses liver function and helps diagnose jaundice and liver diseases.
- Cholesterol – Measures blood cholesterol levels to assess cardiovascular risk.
- CK Total (Creatine Kinase Total) – Detects muscle damage or disorders, including heart-related conditions.
- Glucose (FBS/RBS) – Measures fasting or random blood sugar levels to diagnose and monitor diabetes.
- HbA1C – Provides an average blood sugar level over the past 2-3 months to monitor diabetes.
- HDL/LDL – Measures “good” (HDL) and “bad” (LDL) cholesterol for heart health assessment.
- Ionized Calcium – Assesses the active form of calcium in the blood, important for bone health and metabolic functions.
- LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase) – Enzyme test for detecting tissue damage and monitoring conditions like heart disease or cancer.
- Lipase – Enzyme test used to diagnose pancreatic disorders, particularly pancreatitis.
- Lipid Profile – A comprehensive panel that measures cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, and LDL levels.
- Albumin – Measures the main protein in the blood to assess liver and kidney function.
- ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase) – Enzyme test that assesses liver function and bone health.
- Magnesium – Measures magnesium levels in the blood, essential for muscle and nerve function.
- NT-ProBNP – Assesses heart function by measuring a protein associated with heart failure.
- OGCT (Oral Glucose Challenge Test) – Screens for gestational diabetes.
- Creatinine – Evaluates kidney function by measuring creatinine levels in the blood.
- Chloride – Measures chloride levels, important for maintaining fluid balance and acid-base status.
- Calcium – Assesses overall calcium levels for bone health and metabolic functions.
- CK-MB – Measures a specific type of creatine kinase associated with heart muscle damage, used in heart attack diagnosis.
- GGT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase) – Assesses liver function and bile duct health.
- Phosphorus – Evaluates phosphorus levels, important for bone health and metabolic balance.
- SGOT/AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase) – Enzyme test that evaluates liver function and potential liver damage.
- SGPT/ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase) – Another key enzyme test for assessing liver health.
- Sodium – Measures sodium levels, essential for fluid balance and nerve function.
- Tacrolimus Test – Monitors levels of tacrolimus, an immunosuppressive drug used post-transplant.
- Troponin I and T – Critical markers for diagnosing heart attacks.
- Triglycerides – Measures the amount of fat in the blood, part of the lipid profile.
- Potassium – Measures potassium levels, important for heart and muscle function.
- Uric Acid – Assesses levels of uric acid, which can indicate gout or kidney function issues.
TPAG (Total Protein/Albumin/Globulin) – Comprehensive test to assess protein levels and liver function.
Our Chemistry Laboratory ensures that each test provides the necessary information to support your healthcare needs, promoting overall wellness and effective treatment plans.
