Interpretation Of Lab Results

 insulin resistance  Insulin resistance is a physiological condition in which cells throughout the body, particularly muscle, liver, and adipose (fat) tissue, become less responsive to the effects of insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar (glucose) levels. It helps cells take up glucose from the bloodstream, allowing the body to use it for energy or store it for later use. When cells become insulin resistant, they don't respond as effectively to insulin's signals, and as a result, they don't take up glucose from the blood efficiently. This leads to higher levels of glucose remaining in the bloodstream, a condition known as hyperglycemia. In response to this, the pancreas often produces more insulin to try to overcome the resistance and control blood sugar levels. This increased insulin production can lead to elevated insulin levels in the blood (hyperinsulinemia).

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a type of bacteria that can infect the stomach and cause various gastrointestinal problems. Here are some answers to your questions: Causes of Helicobacter stomach germ H. pylori bacteria are thought to be primarily transmitted from person to person through oral-oral or fecal-oral routes, such as contaminated food or water, or from close contact with an infected person. Factors that may increase the risk of H. pylori infection include poor sanitation, living in crowded conditions, and a weakened immune system . Symptoms of Helicobacter stomach germ Many people infected with H. pylori do not experience any symptoms. However, some people may develop: 1 - Abdominal pain or discomfort 2 - Nausea or vomiting 3 - Loss of appetite 4 - Bloating or belching 5 - Unexplained weight loss 6 - Black or tarry stools 7 - Anemia (low red blood cell count) Treatment of Helicobacter stomach germ If you have been diagnosed with an H. pylori infection, your doctor may pre

( COVID-19) There are many tests can used for early diagnosis of corona virus COVID-19 so the following tests can be performed : 

  Synonyms :  alpha1 -Lipoprotein cholesterol ,high density cholesterol , HDLC , B- Lipoprotein cholesterol , low- density cholesterol , LDLC .  Specimen : Serum (2 ml )    Reference value : HDL 40 - 65 mg/dL                               LDL  80 - 185 mg/dL    Method : Spectrophotometer  Description  High - density lipoprotein  cholesterol (HDLC) and Low- density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC) are the major transport proteins for cholesterol in the body . It is believed that HDLC may have protective properties in that its role includes transporting  cholesterol from the arteries to the liver . LDLC is the major transport protein for cholesterol to the arteries from the liver .  LDLC can be calculated using to total cholesterol , total triglycerides , and HDLC levels.  HDLC levels less than 40 mg/ dL in men and women represnte a coronary risk factor . There is an inverse relationship between HDLC and risk of coronary artery disease (CAD ) ( i.e l

Blood tests Serum creatinine.     Synonym: Cr Specimen : Serum  Reference Value : 0.6 - 1.2  Method :  Spectrophotometer  Description Creatinine (kree-AT-uh-nin) is a waste product that comes from meat protein in the diet and from the normal wear and tear on muscles of the body. Creatinine levels in the blood can vary, and each laboratory has its own normal range. In many labs the normal range is 0.6 to 1.2 mg/dL. Higher levels may be a sign that the kidneys are not working properly. As kidney d isease progresses, the level of creatinine in the blood increases.  Indications Evaluated known or suspected impairment of renal function ( decrease glomerular filtration rate (GFR)

Specimen : Serum (1 ml )    Reference value : Desirable less than 200 mg/dL                              Borderline 200 - 239 mg/dL                                High Greater Than 240 mg/dL    Method : Spectrophotometer    Description :  Cholesterol is a lipid needed to from cell membranes and a component of the materials that render the skin waterproof . It also helps form bile salts , adrenal corticosteroids , estrogen and androgen .   Cholesterol is obtained from the diet (exogenous cholesterol ) and also synthesized in the body( endogenous cholesterol ) . Although most body cells can form som cholesterol , it is produced mainly by liver and intestinal mucosa .  Very low cholesterol value , as is sometimes seen in critically ill patients , can be as life threatening as very high levels .
