Parameters We Test For

Urine Drug Screening. By screening for up to 12 drug classes, specimens can be tested with high levels of accuracy not available in dip sticks or cups. These specimens results may then be confirmed by NTL’s advanced toxicology department for positive or negative detection of the screen findings.

Metabolites. By measuring the levels of nitrogen, creatinine, and urea within a blood sample we can offer insight into how the kidneys are functioning.

Hormones Analyzing varying hormone levels can indicate whether different glands are functioning properly and help with the diagnosis of issues with the adrenal, thyroid, and pituitary glands.

Lipids. Testing lipid levels can aid in the diagnosis of heart disease, liver disease, cardiovascular disease, and other serious conditions.

Enzymes. Measuring enzymes can offer information about issues that may be present with specific vital organs. Pancreatic inflammation or carcinoma, liver disorders, and skeletal muscle damage can all be identified by testing enzymes released into the blood.

Carbohydrates. Analyzing glucose levels within the body can help to identify and diagnose disorders such as hypoglycemia as well as diabetes.

Electrolytes. Sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, chloride, and bicarbonate levels are tested to help with the diagnosis of metabolic and kidney disorders.

Proteins. Testing protein concentration can provide doctors with information regarding nutritional deficiencies and metabolic disorders as well as shed light on cancer in some cases.
