HYPERCALCEMIA PANEL 1 Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the HYPERCALCEMIA PANEL 1 test to help diagnose hypercalcemia, a condition characterized by high levels of calcium in the blood. This comprehensive panel includes the following components:
- PTH (Intact)
- Calcium, Serum
- Calcium 24 hour Urine
The cost of the HYPERCALCEMIA PANEL 1 test is AED 420.0.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Hypercalcemia can cause various symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, constipation, excessive thirst, and frequent urination. It can be diagnosed through a blood test that measures the levels of calcium in the blood.
Sample Collection
To perform the HYPERCALCEMIA PANEL 1 test, we require a 3 mL (1 mL min.) serum sample collected between 8-10 am. It is important to separate the serum and freeze it immediately. Additionally, a 10 mL (5 mL min.) aliquot of 24-hour urine collected with 10 mL of 50% HCl to maintain pH below 3 is needed. Overnight fasting is preferred. The samples should be shipped frozen and should not be thawed. Please record the 24-hour urine volume and body weight on the test request form and urine container.
Report Delivery
We provide daily report delivery for the HYPERCALCEMIA PANEL 1 test.
Method and Test Type
The HYPERCALCEMIA PANEL 1 test is performed using the CMIA (Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay) method with Arsenazo III. It is classified under the test types of Cancer and Disorders of Bone.
Doctor and Test Department
This test is commonly requested by Rheumatologists and Oncologists. It falls under the Test Department category.
Pre Test Information
For accurate results, the sample should be collected between 8-10 am and overnight fasting is preferred. Body weight information is required.
Test Details
The HYPERCALCEMIA PANEL 1 test is a diagnostic tool that measures the levels of various substances in the blood to evaluate for hypercalcemia. The panel includes the following tests:
- Calcium: Measures the total calcium levels in the blood. Elevated levels may indicate hypercalcemia.
- Ionized Calcium: Measures the amount of calcium that is freely available and active in the blood. This test helps determine the actual calcium status in the body.
- Parathyroid Hormone (PTH): Measures the levels of PTH, a hormone produced by the parathyroid glands. Elevated levels may indicate primary hyperparathyroidism, a common cause of hypercalcemia.
- Vitamin D: Measures the levels of vitamin D, which plays a role in regulating calcium absorption and metabolism. Abnormal levels may contribute to hypercalcemia.
- Albumin: Measures the levels of albumin, a protein that binds to calcium in the blood. Abnormal levels may affect the interpretation of calcium levels.
These tests help identify the underlying cause of hypercalcemia and guide further diagnostic and treatment decisions. Please note that the specific tests included in a hypercalcemia panel may vary depending on the laboratory or healthcare provider.
