Toxoplasmoz
Purpose: This test checks for the presence of antibodies against the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. This parasite is primarily transmitted through the consumption of undercooked meat or contact with cat feces.
Importance: In pregnant women, the infection can be transmitted to the fetus and cause serious problems such as miscarriage, premature birth, damage to the nervous system, blindness, or developmental delays.
Types of tests:
IgG (to detect a past infection)
IgM (to detect an active or recent infection)
CMV
Purpose: This test measures IgG and IgM antibodies to assess whether an individual has had an infection caused by cytomegalovirus (CMV). This virus is part of the herpes family and is one of the most common causes of congenital infections.
Importance: During pregnancy, the infection can be transmitted to the fetus, potentially causing brain damage, hearing loss, blindness, or developmental delays. In individuals with weakened immune systems (such as HIV patients), the infection can be very serious.
AMH
Purpose: This hormone is produced by the follicles in the ovaries and serves as an indicator of ovarian reserve (how many eggs a woman has remaining). The test is often used to assess fertility.
Importance: It is a valuable test for planning fertility treatments, predicting the onset of menopause, and diagnosing conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Very low levels of AMH suggest a diminished ovarian reserve.
FSH
Purpose: FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone) stimulates the development of follicles in the ovaries during the menstrual cycle. Measuring its level serves as an indicator of reproductive health.
Importance: High FSH levels indicate that the ovaries are working harder to produce eggs, which is a sign of diminished ovarian reserve or approaching menopause. It is also used to help diagnose hormonal disorders or infertility.
LH
Purpose: LH (Luteinizing Hormone) is responsible for triggering ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary). The LH test is used to monitor the menstrual cycle and evaluate infertility.
Importance: A sudden surge in LH indicates ovulation. In men, the test helps assess testicular function and testosterone production.
E2
Purpose: Estradiol is one of the main forms of estrogen and plays a key role in reproductive health, preparing the uterus for pregnancy, and maintaining normal hormonal functions.
Importance: The test is used to monitor fertility treatments, diagnose menopause, and assess ovarian function.
Prl
Purpose: Prolactin helps in the production of breast milk after childbirth. In non-pregnant women and in men, high levels can be a sign of hormonal problems.
Importance: Hyperprolactinemia (elevated prolactin levels) can cause menstrual disorders, infertility, and sexual dysfunction.
B-hCG
Purpose: The hCG hormone is produced by the placenta during pregnancy and serves as an early indicator of pregnancy.
Importance: High levels confirm pregnancy, while abnormal levels may indicate an ectopic pregnancy, a possible miscarriage, or gestational trophoblastic conditions (such as a hydatidiform mole).
Testosteron
Purpose: Testosterone is the primary male hormone, but it is also produced in small amounts in women. The test measures its levels to diagnose hormonal imbalances.
Importance: In women, high levels may indicate PCOS or hyperandrogenism. In men, low levels may suggest testicular dysfunction or hormonal disorders.
CA-125
Purpose: A common marker used for the diagnosis of ovarian cancer and for monitoring its treatment.
Importance: It helps distinguish whether an ovarian mass is benign or malignant. Elevated levels may indicate ovarian cancer, but can also occur in conditions like endometriosis.
Bi-Testi
Purpose: A prenatal test that measures hCG and PAPP-A to assess the risk of Down syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities.
Importance: The test aids in the early diagnosis of genetic disorders and helps in planning care for the fetus.
THIV
Purpose: Detects the presence of the HIV virus, which weakens the immune system and causes AIDS.
Importance: Early diagnosis helps in disease management and prevention of transmission.
HCV
Purpose: This test identifies infections caused by the hepatitis C virus, which damages the liver.
Importance: Early detection of hepatitis C helps in treating the disease and preventing further complications such as cirrhosis.
HbsAg
Purpose: Identifies the HBsAg antigen, which indicates an active hepatitis B infection.
Importance: The test helps diagnose hepatitis B and assess the risk of transmission.
Sifilis
- Purpose: A test for diagnosing syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum.
Importance: Early diagnosis is critical for treatment and prevention of severe complications, such as damage to the nervous system or other organs.
PGT
- Purpose: PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing) is an analysis performed on embryos during fertility treatments, such as IVF, to identify chromosomal or genetic abnormalities before implantation into the uterus.
- Importance: It is used to increase the chances of a healthy pregnancy, to avoid genetic disorders, and to reduce the risk of miscarriage. This test is particularly useful for couples with a history of genetic abnormalities or for women of advanced reproductive age.
PGD
Purpose: This test is a specific form of PGT that focuses on identifying particular genetic diseases (e.g., cystic fibrosis, beta-thalassemia) in embryos.
Importance: It serves couples who are carriers of inherited genetic diseases by helping to select embryos that do not carry the identified genetic mutations.
Kariotip
Purpose: NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) is performed in the early weeks of pregnancy (from the 10th week) using a maternal blood sample to analyze free fetal DNA.
Importance: The test is non-invasive and detects chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome (trisomy 21), Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18), and Patau syndrome (trisomy 13). It is safe for both the mother and fetus, with very high accuracy.
NIPT
- Purpose: PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing) is an analysis performed on embryos during fertility treatments, such as IVF, to identify chromosomal or genetic abnormalities before implantation in the uterus.
- Importance: It is used to increase the chances of a healthy pregnancy, avoid genetic disorders, and reduce the risk of miscarriage. This test is especially useful for couples with a history of genetic abnormalities or women of advanced reproductive age.
Aminocenteza
- Purpose: Amniocentesis is an invasive procedure performed in the second trimester of pregnancy, where a sample of amniotic fluid is taken to analyze chromosomal abnormalities or genetic disorders.
- Importance: It is used to diagnose genetic anomalies such as Down syndrome and other inherited conditions. It is recommended in cases with a high risk of fetal abnormalities or when other prenatal tests show concerning results.
Test Defragmentimi Sp
- Purpose: The sperm DNA fragmentation test is a laboratory analysis that assesses the quality of the sperm’s genetic material by measuring the level of damage or fragmentation in the sperm DNA.
- Importance: This test is particularly important for couples facing infertility or repeated failures in fertility treatments.
