Rheumatoid Factor Test Quick summary (or Bangla: সংক্ষিপ্ত সারসংক্ষেপ) The RF test measures antibodies in your blood; a positive result alone does not confirm rheumatoid arthritis (RA). A negative RF result does not rule out RA — some people with RA are seronegative. Positive results can occur in other autoimmune conditions, chronic infections,... read more
C-Reactive Protein Test Quick summaryCRP (C-reactive protein) is a blood test that measures general inflammation in the body — it does not diagnose a specific disease.Doctors commonly order CRP to check for infection, monitor autoimmune conditions (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis), or assess heart disease risk (using a special high-sensitivity version).No special preparation is needed;... read more
Stool for Occult Blood Test Quick summaryThe stool occult blood test (FOBT) detects hidden blood in stool, which may indicate gastrointestinal bleeding, polyps, or colorectal cancer.It is a screening test, not a diagnosis — a positive result requires follow-up with a colonoscopy.Two main types: guaiac-based (gFOBT) and immunochemical (FIT); FIT is more specific and usually... read more
Urine for Bence Jones Protein Test Quick summary Bence Jones protein consists of free immunoglobulin light chains (kappa or lambda) produced by abnormal plasma cells and excreted into the urine. This test is ordered when a plasma cell disorder such as multiple myeloma, Waldenström macroglobulinemia, AL amyloidosis, or MGUS is suspected or being monitored. The preferred... read more
Stool R/E Test Quick summary (or সংক্ষিপ্ত সারসংক্ষেপ) Stool R/E (Routine Examination) is a simple, non-invasive lab test that checks a stool sample for signs of infection, parasites, inflammation, or bleeding. It is commonly prescribed for symptoms like diarrhea, abdominal pain, mucus or blood in stool, and suspected parasitic infection. Correct sample collection... read more
Serum IgE Test Quick summary Measures total immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels in blood, used to assess allergic and some non-allergic disorders. Commonly ordered in Bangladesh for asthma, allergic rhinitis, eczema, and suspected parasitic infections. No fasting or special preparation required; it's a simple blood draw with minimal risks. Elevated IgE does not automatically... read more

Serum Albumin Globulin Ratio Test Quick summaryThe serum albumin globulin (A/G) ratio is a calculated value from a total protein blood test, not a separate lab test.A normal A/G ratio typically falls between 1.0 and 2.5, though reference ranges vary by lab.A low ratio may be linked to liver cirrhosis, nephrotic syndrome, or chronic inflammation.A... read more
Serum LDH Test Quick summary (সংক্ষিপ্ত সারসংক্ষেপ) The Serum LDH test measures lactate dehydrogenase, an enzyme found in nearly all body cells. A high level signals tissue damage — but it is not a specific diagnosis by itself. Doctors order it to help monitor liver disease, hemolytic anemia, muscle injury, heart damage, certain... read more
Serum Protein Total Test Quick summaryThe serum protein total test measures albumin and globulin combined—key markers for liver, kidney, and nutritional health.No special preparation is needed; fasting may be required if the test is part of a larger panel.Normal range in adults: approximately 6.0–8.3 g/dL (60–83 g/L in SI units used in Bangladesh).High levels... read more
