SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) RNA QUALITATIVE
The 2 major testing methods currently used for SARS-CoV-2 in the U.S. include molecular (PCR) testing (used to detect viral RNA during active infections) and antibody testing (used to detect host antibodies developed against prior infections). Antigen testing, which tests for the presence of viral proteins, rather than viral RNA or host antibodies, offers a third option.

SGOT (AST)
What is an SGOT test?
The SGOT test is a blood test that?s part of a liver profile. It measures one of two liver enzymes, called serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase. This enzyme is now usually called AST, which stands for aspartate aminotransferase. An SGOT test (or AST test) evaluates how much of the liver enzyme is in the blood. The SGOT test is a simple blood test. It can technically be done without any special preparation. Still, there are a couple steps you can take to make the process easier.
Avoid taking any over-the-counter (OTC) medications, including acetaminophen (Tylenol), in the two days before your test. If you do take them, remember to tell your doctor. You should tell your doctor about all the medications you?re taking before they administer the test so that they can account for them when reading the results.
Drink plenty of water the night before your test, too. Staying hydrated will make it easier for your technician to draw your blood. Make sure you wear something that allows your forearm ? preferably up to the elbow ? to be easily accessible for the technician to draw blood from

SGPT (ALT)
An ALT test measures the level of alanine aminotransferase, also called ALT or SGPT. ALT is one of the enzymes that help the liver convert food into energy. High levels of these enzymes can be a sign that the liver is injured or irritated, and the enzymes are leaking out of the liver cells.
Why Are ALT Tests Done?
An ALT test may be done if a child has signs of a possible problem with the liver, such as jaundice (yellowish skin or eyes), dark urine, nausea, vomiting, or belly pain. It also might be done if a child is on medicine that makes high liver enzyme levels more likely.How Should We Prepare for an ALT Test?
Your child may be asked to stop eating and drinking for 8 to 12 hours before the ALT test. Tell your doctor about any medicines your child takes because some drugs might affect the test results.Wearing a T-shirt or short-sleeved shirt for the test can make things easier for your child, and you also can bring along a toy or book as a distraction.
How Is an ALT Test Done?
Most blood tests take a small amount of blood from a vein. To do that, a health professional will:clean the skin
put an elastic band (tourniquet) above the area to get the veins to swell with blood
insert a needle into a vein (usually in the arm inside of the elbow or on the back of the hand)
pull the blood sample into a vial or syringe
take off the elastic band and remove the needle from the vein
In babies, blood draws are sometimes done as a “heel stick collection.” After cleaning the area, the health professional will prick your baby’s heel with a tiny needle (or lancet) to collect a small sample of blood.Collecting a sample of blood is only temporarily uncomfortable and can feel like a quick pinprick.

SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)
What is an SHBG blood test?
This test measures the levels of SHBG in your blood. SHBG stands for sex hormone binding globulin. It’s a protein made by the liver and attaches itself to sex hormones found in both men and women. These hormones are:Testosterone, the main sex hormone in men
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), another male sex hormone
Estradiol, a form of estrogen, the main sex hormone in women
SHBG controls how much of these hormones are delivered to the body’s tissues. Although SHBG attaches to all three of these hormones, an SHBG test is mostly used to look at testosterone. SHBG levels can show if there is too much or too little testosterone being used by the body. What is it used for?
An SHBG test is most often used to find out how much testosterone is going to the body’s tissues. Testosterone levels can be measured in a separate test called total testosterone. This test shows how much testosterone is in the body, but not how much is being used by the body.Sometimes a total testosterone test is enough to make a diagnosis. But some people have symptoms of too much or too little of the hormone that the total testosterone test results can’t explain. In these cases, an SHBG test may be ordered to provide more information about how much testosterone is available to the body.

Smooth Muscle Antibody (ASMA)
An anti-smooth muscle antibody (ASMA) test is a blood test that detects autoantibodies that attack the smooth muscle cells in the body, often in the liver. Autoantibodies are antibodies made by your body that attack your own body cells.
What Is an ASMA?
ASMAs were first discovered in 1965 in people with chronic active hepatitis.Usually, your immune system will attack foreign bodies like a parasite or a virus with the antibodies made for defending your body. Autoantibodies like ASMAs think that your own cells and tissues are foreign bodies and tell your immune system to kill them.
ASMAs ? also known as smooth muscle antibodies ? attack smooth muscle tissues throughout certain parts of the body. The ASMA test searches for these antibodies in the blood

Sodium, Serum
What is a Sodium Blood Test?
A sodium blood test measures the amount of sodium in your blood. Sodium is a type of electrolyte. Electrolytes are electrically charged minerals. They help control the amount of fluid and the balance of acids and bases (pH balance) in your body. Sodium also helps your nerves and muscles work properly.You get most of the sodium you need in your diet. If you take in too much, your kidneys get rid of the extra sodium in your urine. Normally, your body keeps your sodium levels in a very narrow range. If your sodium blood levels are too high or too low, it may mean that you have a kidney problem, dehydration, or another type of medical condition. A sodium blood test is a routine test that may be used to check your general health. It may be used to help find and monitor conditions that affect the balance of fluids, electrolytes, and acidity in your body.
The test is often done as part of a group of tests called an electrolyte panel. It may also be part of two other groups of tests called a basic metabolic panel (BMP) and a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) our provider will let you know exactly how to prepare for a sodium blood test. On the day of the test, you may need to skip or delay certain medicines. Be sure to tell your provider about any medicines, herbs, or supplements that you take. But don’t stop any medicines without talking with your provider first.
You may also need to fast (not eat or drink) for several hours before the test. Ask your provider if you have any questions.

Spirometry
Spirometry is a type of pulmonary function test, or a lung function test, that measures the flow of air through your lungs. It also estimates the amount of air in your lungs. The test is performed using a machine called a spirometer. It measures the amount of air you breathe and how fast you can blow air out of your lungs. Spirometry is a safe and commonly ordered test.Spirometry tests determine if lungs are functioning at expected levels. It helps to diagnose lung and airway diseases. For example, the test can detect chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) before symptoms develop. The test can also check for pulmonary fibrosis, or scarring of the lung tissue.

Stool analysis
A stool test is also known as stool culture, faecal sample test or stool sample test. The test helps in diagnosing medical conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease, gastric or colon cancer, anal fissures, haemorrhoids, as well as to detect the presence of blood in your stool sample.
Stool tests helps to determine whether a bacteria or any other microorganism has infected the intestines or not. But not all microorganisms in the gut are harmful- some are necessary for normal digestion. If harmful bacteria or parasites infect your intestines, they cause bloody diarrhoea and testing the stool may help find the cause of this condition.

T3
What is a triiodothyronine (T3) test?
This test measures the level of triiodothyronine (T3) in your blood. T3 is one of two major hormones made by your thyroid, a small, butterfly-shaped gland located near the throat. The other hormone is called thyroxine (T4.) T3 and T4 work together to regulate how your body uses energy. These hormones also play an important role in controlling your weight, body temperature, muscle strength, and nervous system.The T3 hormone comes in two forms:
Bound T3, which attaches to protein
Free T3, which does not attach to anything
A test that measures both bound and free T3 is called a total T3 test. Another test called free T3 just measures free T3. Either test may be used to check T3 levels. If T3 levels are not normal, it can be a sign of thyroid disease. You don’t need any special preparations for a T3 blood test. Your health care provider will let you know if you need to stop taking any medicines before your test. Certain medicines can raise or lower T3 levels.₹194.00Add to cart -
T4
A T4 test is used to check how well your thyroid is working. It’s also used to help diagnose and monitor thyroid disease and conditions that may affect your thyroid, including:
Hypothyroidism, or underactive thyroid, which is when your thyroid gland doesn’t make enough thyroid hormone to meet your body’s needs
Hyperthyroidism, or overactive thyroid, which is when your thyroid gland makes more thyroid hormone than your body needs
Disorders of the pituitary gland, which is a gland at the base of your brain that makes TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone). TSH controls how much T4 your thyroid gland makes. If the results from a TSH test aren’t normal, a T4 test can help diagnose whether the problem is with your thyroid or your pituitary gland.
In certain cases, a T4 test may be done as part of a group of tests called a thyroid panel. A thyroid panel includes a test for TSH as well as other thyroid tests.₹194.00Add to cart -

Thyroid Profile (T3+T4+TSH)
(TSH) and Ultrasensitive TSH that helps in understanding the functioning of the butterfly-shaped thyroid gland located at the frontal part of your neck. It produces the hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). The thyroid profile test, also known as the thyroid function test, assesses the increase or decrease in the production of hormones by the gland.
This test includes a complete package of T3, T4, TSH test, which are essential hormones that regulate many body functions. These hormones work in a feedback loop and depend on each other for the normal functioning of the gland. For example, thyroid-stimulating hormone produces a suitable amount of thyroxine. This further gives feedback to the brain to reduce the production of the thyroid-stimulating hormone.
The thyroid gland is responsible for most of the body?s processes such as metabolism, energy production and mood. Depending on the activity of the thyroid gland, the disorder could be due to hyperactivity or decreased activity. These disorders are generally categorized as hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, respectively. Hyperthyroidism has symptoms like restlessness, tremors, weight loss, euphoria and anxiety, while hypothyroidism shows symptoms like sudden weight gain, depression and fatigue.
At Apollo 24|7, you can get a complete package of thyroid profile test that includes the T3, T4, TSH tests.
