Analysis (I)

All our Analysis with the initial letter “I”.

IgA,Total

The total serum IgA blood test is one of five celiac disease blood tests used to screen for celiac disease. It’s used to determine if you’re deficient in IgA.

Specimen: Serum

Reference Values:

1-3 Months Old: 8-76 mg/dl
7-12 Months Old: 22-125 mg/dl
2-3 Years Old: 26-317 mg/dl
6-8 Years Old: 73-298 mg/dl
12-16 Years Old: 94-309 mg/dl
Adults: 113-587 mg/dl

Method: RID

Loinc: 38487-5

 

IgE, Total

The total IgE test measures the overall quantity of immunoglobulin E in the blood, not the amount of a specific type. It can be used to detect an allergic response in the body – rather than a specific allergy. This test may compliment the information provided by allergy tests that detect allergen-specific IgE.

Specimen: Serum

Reference Values:

1-6 Months: <20 IU/ml
6-12 Months: <30 IU/ml
1-2 Years Old: <49 IU/ml
2-4 Years Old: <46 IU/ml
4-6 Years Old: <52 IU/ml
6-8 Years Old: <58 IU/ml
8-12 Years Old: <65 IU/ml
Adults: <87 IU/ml

Method: CLIA

Loinc: 13834-7

 

IGF-1 (Somatomedin C)

IGF-1 is a hormone similar in molecular structure to insulin. It plays an important role in childhood growth and continues to have anabolic effects in adults.

Specimen: Serum

12 Years Old: 143-693 ng/ml
13 Years Old: 183-850 ng/ml

5 Years Old: 1.1-5.2 μg/ml
7 Years Old: 1.4-6.1 μg/ml
9 Years Old: 1.8-7.1 μg/ml
11 Years Old: 2.4-8.4 μg/ml
12 Years Old: 2.7-8.9 μg/ml
13 Years Old: 3.1-9.5 μg/ml
14 Years Old: 3.3-10 μg/ml
15 Years Old: 3.5-10 μg/ml
16 Years Old: 3.4-9.5 μg/ml
17 Years Old: 3.2-8.7 μg/ml
18 Years Old: 3.1-7.9 μg/ml

IgG, Total

The main immunoglobulin (Ig) in human blood is IgG. This is the second most abundant circulating protein and contains long-term protective antibodies against many infectious agents.

Specimen: Serum

Reference Values:

1-3 Months Old: 911-1757 mg/dl
3-7 Months Old: 250-1190 mg/dl
7-12 Months Old: 394-2165 mg/dl
1-2 Years Old: 364-1967 mg/dl
2-3 Years Old: 591-1827 mg/dl
3-4 Years Old: 260-1307 mg/dl
4-6 Years Old: 795-1690 mg/dl
6-8 Years Old: 789-2107 mg/dl
12-15 Years Old: 1025-1532 mg/dl
Adults: 1044-2453 mg/dl

Method: RID

Loinc: 55974-0

 

IgM, Total

Immunoglobulin M, or IgM for short, is a basic antibody that is produced by B cells. IgM is by far the physically largest antibody in the human circulatory system. It is the first antibody to appear in response to initial exposure to an antigen. The spleen where plasmablasts reside is the major site of specific IgM production.

Specimen: Serum

Reference Values:

1-3 Months Old: 8-76 mg/dl
3-7 Months Old: 24-164 mg/dl
7-12 Months Old: 42-280 mg/dl
1-2 Years Old: 27-217 mg/dl

3-6 Years Old: 41-242 mg/dl
6-8 Years Old: 51-224 mg/dl
12-16 Yeras Old: 67-137 mg/dl
Adults: 86-360 mg/dl

Method: RID

Influenza A&B Test

There are two main types of influenza (flu) virus: Types A and B. The influenza A and B viruses that routinely spread in people (human influenza viruses) are responsible for seasonal flu epidemics each year.

Specimen: Serum

Reference Values: Negative

Method:

Loinc: 6434-5

 

Inhibin B

Inhibin B is a hormone that is produced by certain cells in the ovarian follicles. When produced, it helps to suppress another hormone called FSH, or follicle stimulating hormone. FSH is secreted by the brain and causes an egg follicle to grow on the ovary.

Loinc:34319-4

 

Insulin

Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas that allows your body to use sugar (glucose) from carbohydrates in the food that you eat for energy or to store glucose for future use. Insulin helps keeps your blood sugar level from getting too high (hyperglycemia) or too low (hypoglycemia).

Specimen: 0.2 ml Serum

Reference Values: <27 μIU/ml

Method: CLIA

Loinc: 20448-7

 

Insulin Resistance

Insulin resistance is a condition in which the body produces insulin but does not use it effectively. When people have insulin resistance, glucose builds up in the blood instead of being absorbed by the cells, leading to type 2 diabetes or prediabetes.

Specimen: 0.2 ml Serum

Reference Values:

>10: Normal
<10: Abnormal

Method:CLIA/Glucose Oxidase

Loinc: 62418-9

 

Iron

Iron is a mineral that our bodies need for many functions. For example, iron is part of hemoglobin, a protein which carries oxygen from our lungs throughout our bodies. It helps our muscles store and use oxygen. Iron is also part of many other proteins and enzymes.

Specimen: 0.2 ml Serum

Reference Values:

Adult Females: 37-180 μg/dl
Adult Males: 49-181 μg/dl
0-18 Years Old: 20-145 μg/dl
