COVID-19 Antigen Test

It is a qualitative immunochromatographic test for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigens in nasal swab samples from individuals suspected of having COVID-19 by a health care provider.

Type of test: Qualitative.

Sample type: Nasopharyngeal

Results: Positive "VOC POS"
Negative: "VOC NEG"

D-DIMER

It is one of the contractile regulatory proteins of striated muscles that helps in the rapid diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.

According to statistical studies, the normal value of Dimer D is 386 ng/mL FEU.

Type of test: Quantitative.

Sample type: Whole blood with EDTA.

Reportable ranges: 100-5000 ng/mL.

Detection limits:
Lo D =< 100ng/mL FEU
Results greater than 5000 ng/mL FEU are reported as> 5000ng/ml FEU.
FEU: Fibrinogen Equivalent Units

TROPONIN I (TnI)

It is one of the contractile regulatory proteins of striated muscles that helps in the rapid diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.

According to statistical studies, the normal value of Troponin I is 0.10 ng/mL.

Type of test: Quantitative.

Sample type: Whole blood with EDTA.

Reportable ranges: 0.00-32.00 ng/mL.

Detection limits:
LLD = 0.03ng/mL.
Results greater than 32 ng/mL are reported as> 32ng/ml.

PROCALCITONIN (PCT)

It is a prohormone synthesized mainly in the C cells of the thyroid gland and, to a lesser extent, in the neuroendocrine tissue of other organs such as the lungs and the intestine.

This test helps measure procalcitonin levels in the blood. At higher values it is associated with Bacterial Sepsis, severe bacterial infections, severe non-infectious inflammatory stimuli and medullary thyroid carcinoma.

Type of test: Quantitative.

Sample type: Whole blood with EDTA.

Reportable ranges: 0.20-200.0 ng/mL.
Levels above 200 are reported as> 200.0 ng/Ml.
Levels below 0.2 are reported as< 0.2ng/ml.

CK-MB

CK-MB is found primarily in cardiac tissue, and its levels are considerably lower in skeletal muscle.

CK-MB levels rise during the first 6 hours after the onset of chest pain, returning to normal levels within 48 to 72 hours. Therefore, it helps in the rapid diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.

According to statistical studies, the normal value of CK-MB is 3.74 ng/mL.

Type of test: Quantitative.

Sample type: Whole blood with EDTA.

Reportable Ranges: 0.00 – 80.00 ng/Ml

Detection limits: LLD = 0.32 ng/mL
Levels above 80.0 ng/mL are reported as> 80.0ng/mL.

NT-proBNP

When cardiac muscle deteriorates, the inactive B-type natriuretic peptide (proBNP) prohormone is released and rapidly cleaves into physiologically active BNP and the N-terminal fragment NT-proBNP.

Helps in the diagnosis of heart failure. It is used to establish the prognosis or severity of disease in chronic conditions. It can be used to achieve optimal dosing of medical therapy.

It is a standardized test that has a longer stability time and less variability compared to the BNP test.

Type of test: Quantitative.

Sample type: Whole blood with EDTA.

Reportable Ranges: 5 - 35,000 ng/L

Detection limits:
LLD = 18ng/mL
Levels above 35,000 are reported as> 35,000ng/Ml

Normal values :
125 ng/L for people< 75 years old
450 ng/L for people ≥75 years

Biomarker of pregnancy (b-hCG)

β-hCG is the name for human chorionic gonadotropin, also known as the pregnancy hormone, since the body begins to secrete it at the moment the embryo implants in the endometrium.

The test gives clinicians the ability to make treatment decisions based on pregnancy status immediately upon patient arrival.

Function: Determine early pregnancy.

Type of test: Quantitative.

Sample type: Whole blood with EDTA.

Reportable Ranges:0.5 – 3000 mIU/mL
