Laboratory Testing

An elevated serum CA 125 test is nonspecific. It is only of clinical use in comparing one level to a previous level in certain conditions. It can't be used for screening or diagnosis. If you had a CA 125 level drawn, talk with your health care provider to understand the reason that this test was ordered.

CLIA, or the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments, is a set of regulatory standards in the United States that governs laboratory testing to ensure accuracy, reliability, and timeliness of patient test results. There are three levels of laboratory testing defined by CLIA: waived tests, which are simple tests with a low risk of error; moderate complexity tests, which require more specialized knowledge and skills; and high complexity tests, which involve intricate procedures and significant technical expertise. Each level has different requirements for certification and quality control to ensure patient safety and test reliability.

A creatinine level of 1.5 mg/dL can be considered elevated, especially for someone with a single kidney. Normal creatinine levels typically range from about 0.6 to 1.2 mg/dL, depending on various factors like muscle mass and hydration status. It's important for individuals with one kidney to monitor their kidney function closely, and a persistent level of 1.5 may warrant further evaluation by a healthcare provider. Regular check-ups and tests can help assess overall kidney health.

A blind in a clinical trial means that one party doesn't know what is being tried. For example, if a scientist wants to check the efficacy of a drug, a blind in this case would means that the person who conducts the trial wouldn't know which is the drug and which is the placebo. This was a single blind trial. A double bling would imply that the scientist doesn't know which research group gets which component. The purpose of blinds is to not allow human expectations to project onto the results. If a scientist expects a certain result, he will somehow see it and so to remove the error that could be caused by such a misinterpretation, most trials are partially blinded. The results from such trials are said to be unbaised because they are reported as is.

An ECG test is a non-invasive procedure that records the electrical activity of the heart at rest. Insight Medical Imaging offers ECG exams on a walk-in basis at most of our locations across Alberta. All ECG exams require a doctor’s requisition, Alberta Health Care card, and photo identification. ECG tests can be used to assess heart rate, rhythm, blood pressure, and other symptoms such as palpitation or chest pain.

Not fasting before a blood sugar level test can lead to inaccurate results as food intake can affect blood sugar levels. Fasting helps provide a baseline measurement for accurate diagnosis of conditions like diabetes. It is important to follow the fasting guidelines given by your healthcare provider for an accurate test result.

The albumin urine microalbumin quantitative test is a diagnostic test used to measure the amount of albumin in the urine. Elevated levels of albumin in the urine can be an early sign of kidney damage or dysfunction, especially in individuals with diabetes or hypertension. This test is important for monitoring kidney health and detecting potential kidney disease in its early stages.

The major components of a routine urinalysis include physical characteristics (color, clarity), chemical analysis (pH, glucose, protein), and microscopic examination (red blood cells, white blood cells, casts). These components help evaluate kidney function, detect urinary tract infections, and identify other health issues.

These "pus" cells are white blood cells and if the urine is collected correctly, there should be none or very few.

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a measurement of how well one's kidneys are functioning. It is typically estimated on the basis of serum creatinine levels. One can learn their estimated GFR by visiting their physician.
