Biochemistry

Biochemistry is a cornerstone of diagnostic medicine, providing invaluable insights into the human body’s biochemical processes. It bridges analytical chemistry with physiology, physical chemistry, pathophysiology, and diagnostic medicine.

At Healia Diagnostics, we specialize in diagnostic clinical biochemistry, utilizing advanced techniques to diagnose diseases, monitor treatment efficacy, and assess organ function.

Our biochemistry services encompass a wide range of tests designed to evaluate the functionality of critical organs and systems, including the liver, kidneys, and endocrine glands. Whether fasting or non-fasting, these tests form a comprehensive profile, often supplemented by a Complete Blood Count (CBC), to ensure accurate diagnosis and personalized care.

Importance of Biochemical Testing

Biochemical testing is essential for:

Diagnosing Diseases: Identifying abnormalities in biochemical markers to pinpoint health issues.
Monitoring Treatment: Tracking changes in biochemical levels to evaluate the effectiveness of treatments.
Preventive Care: Detecting early signs of potential health problems to enable timely intervention.
Comprehensive Health Assessment: Providing a holistic understanding of the body’s internal environment.

Tests Offered by Healia Diagnostics

1. Diabetes Management

Glucose Levels: Blood sugar measurements to identify hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia.
HbA1c Reflex Panel: Assesses average blood sugar levels over the past three months, critical for managing diabetes effectively.

2. Renal Function Tests

Urea and Creatinine: Evaluate kidney’s filtering efficiency.
eGFR (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate): Determines kidney function.
Uric Acid and Phosphorus Levels: Identifies kidney health and potential issues like gout.

3. Gout Evaluation

Uric Acid: Elevated levels indicate the likelihood of gout, a form of arthritis.

4. Bone Health Assessment

Calcium and Phosphorus Levels: Assess bone density and health.
Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP): Indicates bone or liver disorders.
Vitamin D Status: Essential for bone strength and overall health.

5. Cardiovascular Risk Profiling

Cholesterol Levels: Total cholesterol, HDL (good cholesterol), LDL (bad cholesterol).
Triglycerides: High levels indicate increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
Apolipoprotein B: Measured if triglycerides are excessively high, further detailing heart disease risk.

6. Liver and Bile Duct Function

Bilirubin (Total and Direct): High levels may suggest liver or bile duct dysfunction.
Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH): Indicates tissue damage.
Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) and Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT): Assess liver health.
Gamma-Glutamyltransferase (GGT): Marker for liver and bile duct health.
Albumin Levels: Reflect liver’s ability to synthesize proteins.

7. Hemolytic Disorders

Total and Direct Bilirubin: Evaluate red blood cell breakdown and related disorders.

8. Electrolyte Balance and Adrenal Function

Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Chloride (Cl): Vital for maintaining hydration, blood pressure, and cellular function. Imbalances can indicate dehydration, hypertension, or metabolic disturbances.

9. Nutritional and Bone Marrow Health

Proteins, Albumin, and Globulin: Assess nutritional status.
Albumin/Globulin Ratio (A/G): Indicates potential immune or liver issues.
LDH: Reflects cellular metabolism and tissue health.
