High cholesterol usually has no signs or symptoms so the test helps in the evaluation of heart disease and also monitors existing conditions, genetic diseases and the effectiveness of certain treatments.
Lipid Panel Test includes: low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, total cholesterol and triglycerides.
The urinalysis test helps diagnose any urinary tract infections and other kidney conditions such as urinary bladder disease, kidney disease and diabetes.
UA is a common test that is done in 3 ways: visually, dipstick and microscopic and each check for different aspects, i.e.: change in color, acidity, concentration, protein, sugar, ketones, bilirubin, infection, occult blood, white and red blood cells, epithelial cells and others.
PSA test or Prostate Specific Antigen Test screens the level of the PSA protein produced by the Prostate gland and is used as a marker for early detection of Prostate cancer and for an enlarged or inflamed prostate. High levels of PSA may indicate these conditions.
The PSA test is often recommended to be taken on a yearly basis for men over the age of 50 or earlier if there is a family history of prostate cancer.
When the PSA Test is high it is is highly recommended that you take the "PSA : Free and Total" test as a follow up.
Early detection is an important tool in getting appropriate and timely treatment.
Please consult with your Doctor or Urologist if your levels of PSA are elevated.
