Laboratory [B] Tests
SERVICES AND TREATMENTS
- B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP): The B-type natriuretic peptide test measures the levels of NT-proBNP, a hormone released by the heart in response to increased pressure and volume, in the blood. Elevated levels may indicate heart failure or other cardiac conditions.
- (Bakır) Copper: The copper test measures the levels of copper in the blood, urine, or tissues. Abnormal levels may indicate conditions such as Wilson’s disease, copper deficiency, or copper toxicity.
- Bacterial Identification: Bacterial identification refers to the process of identifying the specific bacteria present in a sample, such as blood, urine, or tissue. It helps diagnose bacterial infections and determine appropriate antibiotic treatment.
- (Balgam Kültürü) Sputum Culture: A sputum culture is a test performed on a sample of sputum (mucus coughed up from the respiratory tract) to identify and determine the susceptibility of bacteria or fungi causing respiratory infections, such as pneumonia or bronchitis.
- Bartonella Henselae IgG Antibody: The Bartonella henselae IgG antibody test measures the levels of IgG antibodies produced in response to Bartonella henselae infection, which causes cat scratch disease. Elevated levels indicate a previous or current infection.
- Bartonella Henselae IgM Antibody: The Bartonella henselae IgM antibody test measures the levels of IgM antibodies produced in response to Bartonella henselae infection, indicating an active or recent infection with cat scratch disease.
- Beta-2 Glycoprotein 1 IgA Antibody: The beta-2 glycoprotein 1 IgA antibody test measures the levels of IgA antibodies against beta-2 glycoprotein 1, which are associated with autoimmune disorders such as antiphospholipid syndrome.
- Beta-2 Glycoprotein 1 IgG Antibody: The beta-2 glycoprotein 1 IgG antibody test measures the levels of IgG antibodies against beta-2 glycoprotein 1, which are associated with autoimmune disorders such as antiphospholipid syndrome.
- Beta-2 Glycoprotein 1 IgM Antibody: The beta-2 glycoprotein 1 IgM antibody test measures the levels of IgM antibodies against beta-2 glycoprotein 1, which are associated with autoimmune disorders such as antiphospholipid syndrome.
- Beta-2 Microglobulin: The beta-2 microglobulin test measures the levels of beta-2 microglobulin, a protein found on the surface of cells, in the blood and urine. Elevated levels may indicate kidney dysfunction, certain cancers, or inflammatory conditions.
- Beta-2 Transferrin: The beta-2 transferrin test measures the levels of beta-2 transferrin, a protein found in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Elevated levels indicate leakage of CSF, which may occur due to skull fracture or cerebrospinal fluid leak.
- Beta-Crosslaps (bCTx): The beta-crosslaps (bCTx) test measures the levels of beta-isomerized carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen, a marker of bone resorption, in the blood. It helps assess bone turnover and monitor treatment response in conditions such as osteoporosis.
- Beta-hCG: The beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-hCG) test measures the levels of beta-hCG, a hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy, in the blood or urine. It is used to confirm pregnancy and monitor the progression of pregnancy.
- Bicarbonate: The bicarbonate test measures the levels of bicarbonate, an electrolyte and buffer, in the blood. Bicarbonate levels are important for maintaining the body’s acid-base balance. Abnormal levels may indicate metabolic or respiratory disorders.
- Bilirubin: The bilirubin test measures the levels of bilirubin, a yellow pigment produced during the breakdown of red blood cells, in the blood. Abnormal levels may indicate liver or bile duct disorders, hemolytic anemia, or other conditions.
- Biotinidase Activity: The biotinidase activity test measures the activity of biotinidase, an enzyme that helps metabolize biotin (vitamin B7) in the body. Deficiency of biotinidase can lead to biotin deficiency, which may cause neurological and skin abnormalities.
- (Boğaz Kültürü) Throat Culture: A throat culture is a test performed on a swab sample taken from the throat to identify and determine the susceptibility of bacteria causing throat infections, such as strep throat. It helps guide antibiotic treatment.
- Borrelia Burgdorferi IgG: The Borrelia burgdorferi IgG test measures the levels of IgG antibodies specific to Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease, in the blood. Elevated levels indicate exposure to the bacterium and may suggest an active or past infection.
- Borrelia Burgdorferi IgM: The Borrelia burgdorferi IgM test measures the levels of IgM antibodies specific to Borrelia burgdorferi in the blood. IgM antibodies typically appear early in the course of Lyme disease infection and may indicate recent or active infection.
- (BOS Kültürü) Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Culture: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) culture is a test performed on a sample of CSF obtained through a lumbar puncture to detect and identify microorganisms, such as bacteria or fungi, causing infections of the central nervous system (meningitis or encephalitis).
- (Boyalı Mikroskopik İnceleme) Gram Stain: Gram staining is a laboratory technique used to differentiate and classify bacteria into two groups (Gram-positive and Gram-negative) based on their cell wall composition. It is a rapid method used in the initial identification of bacteria from clinical specimens.
- Bromine (Bromür): Bromine is a halogen element that exists as a reddish-brown liquid at room temperature. It is used in various industrial applications, including the production of flame retardants, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals. In medicine, bromine compounds have been historically used as sedatives and anticonvulsants.
- Brucella Coombs Agglutination Test: The Brucella Coombs agglutination test is a laboratory method used to detect antibodies against Brucella bacteria in a patient’s blood serum. The test relies on the principle of agglutination, where the presence of antibodies causes bacterial cells to clump together. It is commonly used to diagnose brucellosis, a bacterial infection transmitted from animals to humans.
- Brucella Rose Bengal Agglutination Test: The Brucella Rose Bengal agglutination test is a rapid serological test used to detect antibodies against Brucella bacteria in a patient’s blood serum. The test utilizes a dye called Rose Bengal, which, when mixed with Brucella antigen and patient serum, forms visible clumps if antibodies are present. It is a screening test for brucellosis and is often followed up with confirmatory tests for diagnosis.
- Brucella Wright Tube Agglutination Test: The Brucella Wright tube agglutination test is a laboratory method used to detect antibodies against Brucella bacteria in a patient’s blood serum. Similar to other agglutination tests, this test relies on the principle of antibody-antigen interactions, causing bacterial cells to clump together. It is commonly used in the diagnosis of brucellosis, especially in regions where the disease is endemic.
- (Burun Kültürü) Nasal Culture : A nasal culture is a microbiological test performed by obtaining a sample of nasal secretions or nasal swab to identify microorganisms present in the nasal passages. It is commonly used to diagnose infections such as bacterial sinusitis or to screen for the presence of pathogenic bacteria, particularly in individuals with recurrent sinus infections or immune system disorders.
- (Büyüme Hormonu) Growth Hormone (GH – Somatotropin): Growth hormone, also known as somatotropin, is a peptide hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland. It plays a crucial role in stimulating growth, cell reproduction, and regeneration in humans and other animals. Abnormalities in growth hormone levels can lead to growth disorders such as dwarfism or gigantism. Growth hormone testing measures the levels of growth hormone in the blood and is used to diagnose growth disorders and monitor treatment efficacy.
