  • A 2D echocardiogram (2D echo) uses ultrasound to create moving images of your heart chambers, valves, and pumping strength. It is not a blood test—a probe on the chest builds the pictures, often with color Doppler to show blood flow. Doctors use it for chest p…

  • The HbA1c (A1c) test reflects average blood sugar over roughly the past 2–3 months. It is usually done from a blood sample and helps diagnose or monitor diabetes. A1c is not the same as a one-day fasting glucose. Anemia, kidney disease, pregnancy, and some hem…

  • Abdominal ultrasound uses sound waves to image the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and major blood vessels. It does not use ionizing radiation. It is commonly done for pain, jaundice, suspected stones, or after abnormal blood tests. Not every or…

  • Kidney function tests (KFT) usually include creatinine, urea/BUN, electrolytes, and often eGFR. "Abnormal KFT" means a value is outside the reference range—it is not a disease name by itself. Dehydration, medicines, infection, prostate blockage, and chronic ki…

  • LFT panels typically include ALT, AST, ALP, bilirubin, albumin, and sometimes GGT. Values outside the reference range are called "abnormal LFTs"—a signal for further evaluation, not a diagnosis. Viral hepatitis, medicines, fatty liver, bile duct blockage, and…

  • The ACTH stimulation test checks whether the adrenal glands can produce enough cortisol after synthetic ACTH is given. It is used when adrenal insufficiency is suspected. This is a timed, dynamic test requiring blood samples at set intervals. You cannot judge…

  • The ADA test measures an enzyme level in body fluids such as pleural (lung lining), ascitic (abdominal), or pericardial fluid. It can support evaluation when tuberculous inflammation is suspected. ADA alone does not prove or exclude TB. Culture, molecular test…

  • The absolute eosinophil count (AEC) measures the number of eosinophils—a type of white blood cell—in your blood. It helps evaluate allergy, asthma, parasites, and some inflammatory conditions. Percentage on a CBC differs from absolute count. Do not treat yours…

  • The AFP test measures a protein in the blood. In adults it may be used for liver disease monitoring, tumor follow-up, or—during pregnancy—as part of fetal screening with a different interpretation. A raised AFP does not mean cancer by itself. Hepatitis, cirrho…

  • The A/G ratio compares albumin to globulin in blood. It often appears on protein or liver panels and may reflect nutrition, liver, kidney, or chronic inflammation. A low or high ratio is not a specific disease. Total protein, albumin level, and symptoms must b…

  • Albumin is the main protein made by the liver. It helps maintain fluid balance and carries many substances. Serum albumin is used to assess nutrition, liver, and kidney status. Low albumin is not simply "not enough protein in food"—inflammation, liver disease,…

  • Aldolase is an enzyme found in muscle and other tissues. Blood levels may help evaluate muscle breakdown, myositis, and some muscle disorders. Creatine kinase (CK) is used more often today; aldolase may add information. A raised enzyme is not a specific diagno…

  • Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme in liver, bile ducts, bone, and other tissues. Blood ALP is measured as part of LFTs or bone-related evaluation. Raised ALP does not always mean "bad liver"—growing bone, pregnancy, bile duct blockage, and vitamin D issu…

  • A HIDA scan (cholescintigraphy) uses a small amount of radioactive tracer to show bile flow from the liver into the gallbladder and bile ducts. It helps assess gallbladder function and blockage. Ultrasound shows stones; HIDA often shows whether the gallbladder…

  • Liver function tests are usually a group of blood tests—ALT, AST, ALP, bilirubin, albumin, and sometimes GGT or total protein. They help assess the liver and bile ducts. Despite the name "function," many markers reflect cell injury or bile blockage rather than…

  • A discogram injects contrast into intervertebral discs to see whether a specific disc reproduces your familiar pain. MRI and CT show structure; discography tests whether a disc is a symptomatic pain source. It is not a routine test. It is usually considered fo…

  • An echocardiogram uses ultrasound to show heart structure, pumping strength, valves, and blood flow. The common transthoracic study uses a chest probe; transesophageal echo (TEE) uses a probe passed into the esophagus when clearer views are needed. It uses no…

  • Allergy skin testing places small amounts of allergen on or under the skin to detect immune sensitivity—usually by skin prick or intradermal methods. A positive test shows sensitization, not always clinical allergy. History of symptoms matters. Antihistamines…

  • "Allergy testing" includes skin tests, blood specific IgE, patch tests, and supervised food challenges. The goal is to find what triggers immune-mediated symptoms. Broad "allergy panels" alone do not diagnose disease. False positives and negatives occur—detail…

  • Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is mainly produced in fetal liver tissue; healthy adults have very low levels. In adults, blood AFP is used mainly as a tumor marker and in selected liver disease surveillance—not for routine screening in everyone. A high AFP does not p…

  • Ambulatory monitors record heart rhythm while you are at home or moving about—Holter (often 24–48 hours), event monitors, or longer patch recorders. They catch palpitations or rhythm problems that a brief office ECG may miss. They support diagnosis but do not…

  • Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) is released by small ovarian follicles. Blood AMH is used as one indicator of ovarian reserve in fertility assessment and some PCOS or menopause discussions. AMH is not a guarantee of pregnancy or the sole cause of infertility. Age…

  • Blood ammonia measurement is used when liver failure, confusion, or certain metabolic disorders are suspected. Ammonia forms when protein breaks down and is normally cleared by the liver; buildup can affect the brain (encephalopathy). Sample handling is critic…

  • Amniocentesis collects a sample of amniotic fluid to test fetal chromosomes, genes, or sometimes infection. Ultrasound guides a thin needle through the abdominal wall into the uterus. It is diagnostic, not a screening test. Risks are low but not zero; decision…
