Avoid collection of specimens within 24 hours of intense exercise since this can falsely elevate protein excretion. During the start of collection, empty the bladder and discard the first urine output. Collect all the succeeding urine voided in a 24-hour period. Keep the urine container either in a refrigerator or in an ice chest. |
NOTE | •If aliquoted sample, please indicate total volume in mL and specific gravity, date and time of start and end of collection. |

The kidney is central to the regulation and conservation of electrolytes in the body. Urinary sodium (Na+) excretion varies with dietary intake, and there is a large diurnal variation with the rate of Na+ excretion during the night being only 20% of the peak rate during the day. Urine sodium testing is used on the evaluation of acid-base abnormalities, water balance, water intoxication, and dehydration.

Anti Double Stranded DNA
Anti Double Stranded DNA
Anti-double stranded DNA antibody (anti-dsDNA) is one of a group of autoantibodies called antinuclear antibodies (ANA). Normally, antibodies protect against infection, but autoantibodies are produced when a person's immune system fails to adequately distinguish between "self" and "non-self." They mistakenly attack the body's own healthy cells, causing tissue and organ damage.

Blood Ammonia
Blood Ammonia
Ammonia is derived from the catabolism of amino acids and from the action of intestinal bacteria on dietary protein, and is converted to urea in the liver hepatocytes and so rendered non-toxic. Elevated ammonia can have a toxic effect on the central nervous system, it may also be observed in severe liver failure, viral hepatitis or cirrhosis and it may occur with genetic defects of urea cycle and some other hereditary disorders.

NOTE | •Collection tube must be completely filled and immediately placed on ice. •Centrifuge the cold sample as quickly as possible and separate the plasma from blood cells using closed system. Rapid separation of plasma from blood cells is critical for obtaining reliable results. The standard recommendation is no more than 15 minutes from sample collection to the start of centrifugation. Timing is especially critical for patients with liver disease. Delays exceeding 15 minutes have been shown to increase ammonia concentration even at 0˚C. •Specimen obtained from House Call procedure is not acceptable unless otherwise, pre-analytical procedure stated above is strictly followed. |

Blood Culture and Sensitivity Aerobic and Anaerobic
Blood Culture and Sensitivity Aerobic and Anaerobic
A blood culture is a laboratory test in which blood, taken from the patient, is inoculated into bottles containing culture media to determine whether infection-causing microorganisms (bacteria or fungi) are present in the patient’s bloodstream. Blood culture is the most widely used diagnostic tool for the detection of bacteremia and fungemia. It is the most important way to diagnose the etiology of bloodstream infections and sepsis and has major implications for the treatment of those patients.

Blood Culture and Sensitivity Pediatric
Blood Culture and Sensitivity Pediatric
A blood culture is a laboratory test in which blood, taken from the pediatric patient, is inoculated into bottles containing culture media to determine whether infection-causing microorganisms (bacteria or fungi) are present in the patient’s bloodstream. Blood culture is the most widely used diagnostic tool for the detection of bacteremia and fungemia. It is the most important way to diagnose the etiology of bloodstream infections and sepsis and has major implications for the treatment of those pediatric patients.

Concentration Method
The fecal concentration methods based on sedimentation of parasites are useful for recovering heavy parasite eggs due to the concentration of the organisms in the sediment, whereas the centrifugal-flotation in zinc sulfate is used preferentially to recover protozoa cysts because of the low density of parasitic forms as compared to the salt solution. The result is a clean preparation for microscopic examination with a minimal amount of fecal debris.

Body fluids are generally defined as the fluids that are present within the body of a person. The role of the test is to help detect, isolate, identify any other pathogenic microorganisms present in the body. It can also be done on other types of body fluids because they give a better idea of the kind of disease or disorders present in certain parts of the body.

Culture and Sensitivity - Other Specimen with Anaerobic
This test is used to isolate and identify anaerobic pathogenic organisms, as well as to determine the susceptibility of isolates. Anaerobic cultures are indicated particularly when suspected infections are related to gastrointestinal tract, pelvic organs, associated with malignancy, related to use of aminoglycosides, or occur in a setting in which the diagnosis of gas gangrene or actinomycosis is considered. Anaerobic culture is especially indicated when an exudate has a foul odor or if the exudate has a grayish discoloration and is hemorrhagic.

The isolation and correct identification of respiratory pathogens is an important aid in the diagnosis and management of infected patients. Respiratory samples are processed using culture media in order to select the pathogen from the normal commensal flora and depending on the nature of the specimen, patient's clinical details; the specimens are inoculated onto different selective media and the media are incubated for different lengths of time. For genital sources, a culture that identifies yeast, beta hemolytic streptococcus, staphylococcus and Gardnerella that causes bacterial vaginosis.

Epsilometer Test Minimum Inhibitory Concentration
ETEST is a well-established method for antimicrobial susceptibility testing in microbiology laboratories around the world.The E-test has been developed to provide a direct quantification of antimicrobial susceptibility of microorganisms. The device consists of a predefined, continuous, and exponential gradient of antibiotic concentrations immobilized along a rectangular plastic test strip and is used to determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of antibiotics, antifungal agents and antimycobacterial agents.

Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate
The Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) test is used to detect and monitor inflammation and roughly estimate its intensity. This test measures how rapidly red blood cells settle at the bottom of a blood sample in a period of 1 hour. It is functional in the diagnosis of several inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, infections, temporal arteritis, polymyalgia rheumatica, or certain malignancies.

Identification of Filamentous Fungi
Identification of Filamentous Fungi
This is a laboratory test to identify yeast and molds in clinical microbiology laboratories with correlation to culture plate and microscopic reading. It also uses MALDI-TOF MS to identify molds rapidly in clinical laboratories, which is of increasing importance for appropriate patient management to identify opportunistic fungi causing infection in compromised patients.

Immature Platelet Fraction
Immature Platelet Fraction
The immature platelet fraction is a modern parameter that measures young and more reactive platelets in peripheral blood. IPF can be measured to provide additional information concerning platelet kinetics in cases of thrombocytopenia. It can also provide an early indication of engraftment success after hematopoietic stem cell transplant.

Immunofixation Serum
Immunofixation Serum
Protein immunofixation is a well-established technique used to type any suspected monoclonal component, detected by serum protein electrophoresis.Monoclonal bands could be hidden by regular proteins on each zone, therefore they can be missed by simple electrophoresis. To identify these abnormal bands, the technique of immunofixation is applied along with the classic electrophoresis.

Peripheral Smear
Peripheral Smear
The peripheral film evaluation is the capstone of a panel of tests called the complete blood count (CBC) or hemogram. Microscopic blood film review is essential whenever instrument analysis indicates that specimen abnormalities exist. The laboratory professional evaluates the platelet and WBC count and differential, along with WBC, RBC, and platelet morphology.

pH - Stool
pH - Stool
A fecal pH test is one where a specimen of feces is tested for acidity in order to diagnose a medical condition. An acidic stool can indicate a digestive problem such as lactose intolerance or a contagion such as E. coli or rotavirus, or overgrowth of the acid producing bacteria (such as lactic acid bacteria for instance). Stool with a high pH may mean inflammation in the intestine (colitis), cancer, or antibiotic use.
