Pregnenolone
Pregnenolone $0.00
Pregnenolone is a steroid hormone synthesized from cholesterol in the adrenal glands, liver, and gonads. It serves as a precursor to various hormones, including progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, and cortisol. Pregnenolone plays a vital role in the body's hormonal balance, influencing mood, memory, and overall health. Its levels can vary significantly based on age, stress, and overall health. Test Details: Sample Type: Serum  Tube Type: SST Collection Method: In person at a Lab location  Results: 1-6 days from sample arrival at our lab   Age: 18+   
Progesterone
Progesterone $0.00
Progesterone is a steroid hormone produced primarily by the ovaries, placenta, and adrenal glands. It plays a crucial role in regulating various aspects of the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. During the menstrual cycle, progesterone prepares the endometrium (uterine lining) for potential implantation of a fertilized egg. If pregnancy occurs, progesterone helps maintain the uterine environment, supporting fetal development. It also influences other bodily functions, such as mood regulation and immune response. Test Details: Sample Type: Serum  Tube Type: SST Collection Method: In person at a Lab location  Results: 1-6 days from sample arrival at our lab   Age: 18+   
Prolactin
Prolactin $0.00
Prolactin is a peptide hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland, primarily responsible for stimulating breast development and milk production during and after pregnancy. Its secretion is regulated by various factors, including hormonal signals from the hypothalamus. Prolactin also plays roles in regulating the immune system and influencing reproductive functions in both men and women. Elevated prolactin levels can lead to conditions like galactorrhea (unwanted milk production), infertility, and menstrual irregularities. Test Details: Sample Type: Serum  Tube Type: SST Collection Method: In person at a Lab location  Results: 1-6 days from sample arrival at our lab   Age: 18+   
Protein, 24 Hour Urine
Protein, 24 Hour Urine $0.00
The 24-hour urine protein test measures the amount of protein excreted in the urine over a full day. This test is crucial for assessing kidney function and diagnosing various kidney disorders. Normally, urine contains a small amount of protein, but elevated levels can indicate kidney damage, infection, or systemic diseases such as diabetes or hypertension. The test provides important information about kidney health, guiding further diagnosis and management of potential conditions. Test Details: Sample Type: Urine (10mL)  Tube Type: Urine Cup & Timed Urine Jug Collection Method: In person at a Lab location  Results: 1-6 days from sample arrival at our lab   Age: 18+

Protein, Random Urine $0.00
The random urine protein test measures the amount of protein in a single urine sample. It is a quick screening tool used to detect proteinuria, which can be an early indicator of kidney disease or other health issues. While small amounts of protein in urine are normal, elevated levels may suggest kidney damage, infections, or systemic diseases. This test is often used in conjunction with other tests to assess kidney function and overall health. Test Details: Sample Type: Urine (10mL)  Tube Type: Urine Cup Collection Method: In person at a Lab location  Results: 1-6 days from sample arrival at our lab   Age: 18+   
Protein, Total
Protein, Total $0.00
The total protein test measures the total amount of protein in the blood, including albumin and globulin. This test is commonly used to assess overall health, as well as to evaluate liver and kidney function. Proteins play vital roles in the body, including supporting immune function, transporting substances, and maintaining fluid balance. Abnormal levels can indicate various medical conditions, such as liver disease, kidney disease, malnutrition, or inflammatory disorders. Test Details: Sample Type: Serum  Tube Type: SST Collection Method: In person at a Lab location  Results: 1-6 days from sample arrival at our lab   Age: 18+   
Protein, Total & Protein Electrophoresis
Protein, Total & Protein Electrophoresis $0.00
The total protein test measures the overall amount of protein in the blood, including both albumin and globulin. This test is essential for assessing general health and can help detect various medical conditions. Protein electrophoresis is a more specialized test that separates proteins in the blood based on their size and charge. It provides a detailed analysis of different protein fractions (albumin, alpha globulins, beta globulins, and gamma globulins), helping to identify abnormalities. Why Take Both Tests? Comprehensive Assessment: The total protein test provides a quick overview of protein levels, while protein electrophoresis offers detailed information about specific protein types. Differentiating Conditions: Abnormal total protein levels may require further investigation through electrophoresis to pinpoint specific protein abnormalities. Monitoring Treatment: Both tests can be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatments for diseases affecting protein production and regulation. Test Details: Sample Type: Serum  Tube Type: SST Collection Method: In person at a Lab location  Results: 1-6 days from sample arrival at our lab   Age: 18+   
PSA Free and Total
PSA Free and Total $0.00
Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) testing is essential for evaluating prostate health, particularly in men over 50 or those with risk factors for prostate cancer. This test measures the levels of PSA in the blood, which can indicate prostate issues, including benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer. Total PSA measures the overall concentration of PSA in the blood, including both free (unbound) PSA and PSA that is bound to other proteins. Why Take Both Tests? Enhanced Diagnostic Accuracy: Measuring both total and free PSA can help differentiate between benign prostate conditions and prostate cancer, especially in cases of borderline total PSA levels. Prostate Cancer Screening: The combination of total and free PSA tests aids in more accurate screening, reducing unnecessary biopsies for men with benign conditions.
