Plasma Tests
Plasma tests analyze the liquid part of blood to assess clotting, glucose levels, infections, and more. They provide important insights into metabolic, liver, and immune system functions.
Tests Include
1
Measures how long it takes blood to clot. It helps assess bleeding disorders and monitor blood-thinning medications.
2
Checks blood sugar levels in the plasma. It's used to diagnose and monitor diabetes or other glucose-related conditions.
3
Measures fibrinogen, a protein essential for blood clotting. Low or high levels can indicate clotting disorders or inflammation.
4
Detects ammonia levels in the blood. Elevated levels can signal liver dysfunction or metabolic issues.
5
Identifies recent infection with Toxoplasma gondii. It’s crucial for diagnosing toxoplasmosis, especially in pregnant women.
