Speaker A

Welcome to our channel. Channel explains medical analysis. Today, we will explain the names of all medical tests and their abbreviations. How does the doctor write the name of the test in the prescription, and how do we understand this abbreviation?

00:17

Speaker A

We will know the conditions for conducting most tests. The first analysis we will talk about is a complete urine analysis. Its abbreviation is C.U.A. One of the conditions for conducting this analysis: Firstly, the first urine sample is taken in the morning.

00:38

Speaker A

Because the sample is more concentrated. Secondly, the urine sample must be taken in a sterile cup. You should not receive a urine sample if it has been more than two hours old. The second analysis we talk about is a complete stool analysis.

00:55

Speaker A

Its abbreviation in the prescription is C.S.A. The conditions for this analysis are like the conditions for urine analysis. The stool sample is taken in a sterile cup. It is preferable to take a sample in the morning. The sample must not be received from the patient if it has been more than two hours.

01:11

Speaker A

Now we will talk about kidney function analysis, which is called kidney function tests. Its abbreviation is K.F.T. It includes urea, creatinine, and uric acid tests. There is also analysis Albumin/creatinine ratio. This analysis measures the efficiency of the kidneys or the effect of diabetes on the kidneys.

01:26

Speaker A

We need for this analysis the second urine sample in the morning. For virus tests, Virus A, its abbreviation is HAV-Ab. B virus, its abbreviation is HBS-Ag. C virus, its abbreviation is HCV-Ab. Abbreviation for AIDS virus is HIV-Ab. Now we talk about liver functions.

01:45

Speaker A

Liver function test, and its abbreviation is L.F.T. The functions of the liver are divided into manufacturing functions, conversion functions, and the functions of its enzymes. Liver enzymes SCOT has another abbreviation AST. Another liver enzyme SCPT has another abbreviation ALT.

02:07

Speaker A

And also the enzyme alkaline phosphatase, its abbreviation is ALP. One of the liver's functions is also to measure albumin levels because it is formed in the liver. And measure the ratio GGT. It is an abbreviation γGT. And measure the level of bilirubin of all kinds: 1-Direct bilirubin, 2-indirect bilirubin, 3-total bilirubin.

02:17

Speaker A

And also measure the percentage of total protein. All of these tests are considered liver functions. Now we will talk about blood lipid tests. It is divided into measuring the percentage of total cholesterol (T.Ch), triglycerides (T.G), beneficial cholesterol (HDL), and harmful cholesterol (LDL).

02:40

Speaker A

One of the conditions for this analysis is fasting for 12 hours, and it is only permitted to drink water. We are now talking about heart enzymes and their names (Cardiac enzymes). Include CK, also called CPK. It is an abbreviation for creatine kinase.

02:53

Speaker A

These include heart functions, measuring ratio CK-MB, and troponin measurement. Now we are talking about the tests that detect diabetes. It includes analyses measuring fasting blood sugar. Its abbreviation is FBS. This analysis requires fasting from 6 to 8 hours.

03:23

Speaker A

During fasting, it is allowed to drink only water. Sugar analysis two hours after eating is called postprandial blood sugar, and its abbreviation is PPBS. Random blood sugar analysis is done at any time, and its abbreviation is RBS. Cumulative sugar analysis is called glycated hemoglobin. Its abbreviation is HBA1C.

03:46

Speaker A

It is a measurement of sugar attached to red blood cells. We will now talk about tests for rheumatic diseases. First, analyze the strep microbe. Its abbreviation is ASOT, and it means Antistreptolysin or tests. This test is for bacteria that infect the throat and cause microbes, and if the percentage is high, a penicillin antibiotic is taken.

04:10

Speaker A

Active protein analysis, its abbreviation is CRP, and it means C-Reactive protein. It is a protein secreted by the liver in cases of inflammation. Red blood cell sedimentation rate analysis, which is specific to infections, its abbreviation is E.S.R. That means Erythrocyte sedimentation rate.

04:31

Speaker A

Complete blood count analysis, and its abbreviation is CBC. We count red blood cells, white blood cells of all types, and platelets, and also measure the percentage of hemoglobin in the blood.

05:05

Speaker A

From culture analyses, urine culture is shortened to U/C. That means urine culture and sensitivity. The culture explains which antibiotic would be suitable to eliminate the microbe. Cultures of other samples can be made, such as feces, a swab from the eye, from the ear, from pus, or from the vagina.

05:32

Speaker A

The most important condition is to refrain from taking antibiotics 48 hours before the test. Now we will talk about the fecal occult blood test, and its abbreviation is FOBT. This analysis is important because it reveals the occurrence of internal bleeding, colon or stomach cancer, or the presence of an ulcer.

05:56

Speaker A

There are two types of analysis techniques. First, the chemical method. Here, for a period of 48 hours before the analysis is performed, one must abstain from eating all types of meat, radishes, fluid medications, rheumatism medications, or iron medications.

06:08

Speaker A

There is an immunological method that does not require any conditions before performing the analysis. The type of sample in this analysis is stool. Semen analysis, for short CASA, is a device that has a screen and a microscope and can image sperm in certain ways.

06:39

Speaker A

Its conditions: 1- Abstaining from sexual intercourse for a period of no less than 3 days. 2- The sample must arrive at the laboratory immediately and must not take more than 20 minutes. 3- The sample is taken in a sterile cup.

06:48

Speaker A

Analysis of electrolytic elements: Sodium, abbreviated Na. Potassium, abbreviated as K. Calcium of its kind: Total and ionized. Phosphorus, abbreviated as PO4. Blood type and its abbreviation ABO & Rh. Bean anemia analysis, and its abbreviation G6PD, that means Glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase.

07:12

Speaker A

Iron profile includes measuring the percentage of iron and iron stores (ferritin) and its efficiency is (TIBC) and transferrin. Insulin resistance analysis is called Homa-IR. This analysis requires 8 hours of fasting. PCR analyses are tests that detect the nucleic acids of viruses.

07:45

Speaker A

HCV PCR detects the nucleic acid of Virus C. HBV PCR detects the nucleic acid of Virus B. In cases of recurrent miscarriage, the doctor orders tests that reveal the presence of a genetic mutation. It includes PCR Prothrombin gene mutation and PCR Factor V and PCR MTHFR.

08:13

Speaker A

We are now talking about fluidity and coagulation analyses. This file is requested before operations in general or childbirth are performed, or if there is a person taking liquefaction treatment to treat blood clots, the percentage is monitored through an INR analysis.

08:32

Speaker A

Includes prothrombin analysis, and its abbreviation PT or INR or P. activity, and also PTT analysis. In addition to measuring bleeding time and its abbreviation B.T. and measuring and shortening the clotting time C.T analysis. D-Dimer also, blood clotting tests.

08:58

Speaker A

Hb electrophoresis analysis determines hemoglobin levels and types in the blood to detect hereditary blood diseases.

09:16

Speaker A

Thyroid function test includes T3 or Free T3, T4 or Free T4, TSH. Analysis of the parathyroid gland is PTH and is also written Parathormone. Ovarian reserve hormone analysis, its abbreviation is AMH, which means anti-Mullerian hormone. Ovulation hormone analysis: Estrogen or E2, FSH.

LH means Luteinizing hormone. The lactating hormone is prolactin, and its abbreviation is PRL. Male hormone is testosterone. Its types are total and free. Another hormonal analysis is growth hormone, and its abbreviation is G.H. There is also a cortisone analysis and an analysis of the hormone insulin, whether fasting or postprandial.

10:34

Speaker A

We are now talking about the pregnancy test. Its abbreviation is B-HCG. It has two types: Qualitative, which gives only a positive or negative result. One of its conditions is to delay the menstrual period beyond its usual date. The other type is quantitative. It gives the gestational age.

11:03

Speaker A

Tumor marker analysis includes detection of liver tumors, abbreviated as AFP, and it means alpha-feto protein. Detection of breast tumors is an analysis Ca 15.3. Detection o

11:26

Speaker A

It must be made clear that these analyzes are not very accurate But the correct diagnosis is also linked to x-rays and a doctor's examination To detect colon tumors Through CEA analysis To detect prostate tumors Through PSA analysis To detect thyroid tumors Through Thyroglobin analysis

11:42

Speaker A

One of the tests that detect immune diseases Analysis ( ANA - Anti DNA D.S ) Amyloid A Protein To detect severe infections in the body Anti CCP It is used to diagnose rheumatoid disease, which is an immune disease

12:11

Speaker A

Antibodies that attack the thyroid gland are Anti TPO which means anti thyroid peroxidase And also Thyroid anti microsomal Ab TORH analyses Include 1- Toxoplasmosis IGG & IGM 2- Rubella IGG & IGM 3- CMV IGG & IGM it related to cyto meglo virus

12:54

Speaker A

4- Herpes IGG & IGM All of these viruses may infect the uterus and lead to miscarriage In the laboratory, a test may also be requested to identify typhoid disease, which is called Widal & Brucella One of the most important analyzes in the laboratory It is an analysis of Helicobacter pylori Its abbreviation is H.Pylori It may be deposited in stool or blood
