The test involves determining the amino acid cystine in plasma to assess its level in the blood in order to use supplementation if necessary.

The test involves the determination of the enzyme aspartate macroaminotransferase in the blood and can be used to diagnose certainóliver conditions.

The blood test involves determining the levels of different subtypesós (isoforms) of transferrin protein, responsible in the body for transporting iron in the blood. Abnormalities in the production of normal transferrin isoforms can occur in cases of alcohol abuse, among others, and cause anemia.

Alpha 1-acid glycoprotein assay is used to monitor the course of acute phase reactions and also to separateóinflammatory conditions from diseases such as rheumatoid arthritisósystemic lupus erythematosus.

The test detects compoundsócalled porphyrins in a 24-hour urine collection to diagnose porphyria, a group of inherited disorders thatóre involving, among other things, a disruption in the metabolism of heme, a component of the protein that enables oxygen transport in red blood cells.

The blood test is performed to diagnose clotting deficienciesós, it measures the level of alpha 2-antiplasmin, a protein thatóre inhibits fibrinolysis i.e. the dissolution of a blood clot, a deficiencyór of this protein can cause bleeding or hemorrhages into jointsós.

The test is part of a complete blood count, ordered as part of a routine checkup, and assesses the number of special cellsórecords in the blood, called platelets or thrombocytes, to evaluate the function of the clotting system.

The test involves determining the blood level of an enzyme called glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, important for red blood cell metabolism, in order to diagnose a deficiency of this enzyme, which causes neonatal jaundiceó and other disorders
