Laboratory Testing

No they are not, at least not in Ontario. I just came back from Shopper's , where I was told by a pharmacist you cannot get them in Canada due to privacy laws. If I want to test myself I can't because the government is protecting me from from invading my privacy. The reason is to prevent parents from testing their teenagers?? Pretty crazy rules!!

First you feel a rush, one that's like a thousand orgasms over your whole body that last about 10 minutes. After this, I'll usually get really talkative, euphoric etc. - you feel like a God. After this comes the "nod" stage, where you tend to nod in and out of consciousness, in a euphoric dreamy state. The whole experience lasts about 3-4 hours. Basically, it feels really really good, though I'd never suggest it to anyone. An equally good question for you to ask is "What does heroin withdrawal feel like?"... The answer is "Not good".

Cast' describes the shape of aggregated particulates in urine rather than a particular substance, thus a modifier is necessary to describe the actual composition of the cast. 'Cast' simply describes a cylindrically shaped aggregation of some particulate that forms in the distal convoluted tubule or distal nephron via precipitation of a mucoprotein secreted by tubule cells (Tamm-Horsfall protein) or, in proteinuria and to a lesser extent, albumin. Cast formation is pronounced in environments favoring protein denaturation and precipitation (low flow, concentrated salts, low pH). Unfortunately, Tamm-Horsfall protein is particularly susceptible to precipitation in these conditions. When present on microscopic evaluation during urinalysis, urinary casts hold significance as diagnostic and prognostic indicators of kidney disease. As reflected in their cylindrical form, casts are generated in the small tubules and collecting ducts of the kidney, and generally maintain their shape and composition as they pass the lower conveyances of the urinary system. Although the commonest forms are benign, other forms are indicative of a pathologic state. All rely on the inclusion or adhesion of various elements on a mucoprotein base - the hyaline cast.

Blood is always more accurate as it is a direct test - breath is indirect.

No. It is unlawful in the United States to sell any organ.

High blood protein may be a warning sign of chronic inflammation or infection. Normally it is an inflammation or infection of the liver.

Yes, methadone will only show up as methadone and hydrocodone will show up as an opiate.

This is a two-part answer.

Part one is that blood tests for STDs (hepatitis, syphilis, and HIV) doesn't detect drugs.

Part two is that many STD cases are drug-related--you get drunk or stoned, have sex without a condom, and come down with an STD.

Differentials, i.e. a FBC with differentials will not only give you the white blood cell total count but break it down into neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils and basophils.

If the urine test is positive it is concidered to be as accurate as a blood test. However, blood test can detect pregnancy even after 7-10 days past conception. Blood test is always more SURE than urine test I would rely on blood test more! All the best!

It usually takes loricet 1 to 2 days to clear your system. It also depends on how long you have been taking this medication. If you are a frequent user it will take longer than a couple of days.

I takes 3 days to clear a urine sample...You should pass with a faint line under opiate, but next time stop taking on Saturday to make sure you pass

ALT and AST can be elevated in many diseases, but are indicators of the health of the liver. If they are both elevated then there is something going on with the liver, but without more information, or without knowing their numbers I wouldn't be able to give a reliable diagnosis.

Some of the causes of elevated ALT and AST are: alcoholism, hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, and some blood disorders, but there are many more.

I'm sure some MDs might happen upon this question, but rather than run the risk of getting someone less qualified to make an educated guess I suggest you talk with your MD. He/she ordered your tests and will be happy to explain them. Both of those values indicate kidney function, but only your MD can asses your past and current medical history and come to a valid conclusion as to exactly how these values matter to you. To say they're good or bad lab values would be assessing the lab values and not you the patient.

In a hematology test gran means granulocyte, which is a type of white blood cell (leukocyte).

Yes, but if you have a prescription generally it won't count against you unless you are applying for a driving job or other job that might be dangerous due to medication.

According to Federal regulations, the harvesting of organs is illegal; however, if your sale is for bonafide medical research, then it is permissible. well if that is the case then where would it be possible to conduct such a sale of the human body?

Kind of or if not that is a drinking ticket you have to pay

About 2 minutes, as they utilize a dip-stick test kit.

There are many different tests that can be performed on a sample of your blood. No one sample ever received all those tests. so the meaning of your blood results depends on what tests were done, how old you are, whether you are male or female, and, sometimes, what race your are.

Ask you doctor to explain the meaning of your results.

A Computed Tomography Scan, also known as Computed Axial Tomography or CAT Scan, uses X rays and computers to produce detailed images of the inside of a body. It provides three-dimensional views of the body's soft tissues such as blood vessels, muscles, and organs.

No, the egg is from the mother and can only carry the X chromosome (since the mother is XX). The sperm will be either X or Y (since the father is XY), and will determine the sex of the child.

HDW, or hemoglobin distribution width, measure hemoglobin heterogeneity. Anemia's and vitamin deficiencies can result in lower than normal levels. If levels are low, further testing is done to determine the exact cause.
