JAANCH THYROID PROFILE – BASIC
T3 & T4 are highly protein bound hormones which can be affected by numerous factors like illness, medications and genetic factors that influence protein binding. Therefore it is useful to measure the free or unbound hormone levels which correspond to the biologically available hormone pool

JAANCH TUMOUR PANEL ADVANCED -FEMALE
A female cancer profile test, also known as a cancer detection profile, is a series of blood tests that measure tumor markers, which are substances that can be elevated in the blood of some people with certain types of cancers, particularly those affecting females.Here’s a breakdown of what to expect:Purpose:-
-
Early detection and monitoring:These tests can help identify potential cancers early on and monitor the effectiveness of treatment or check for recurrence.
-
-
Specific to female cancers:The tests are designed to detect and monitor cancers that are more common in women, such as breast, ovarian, and cervical cancer.
Common Tests Included:-
CA-125:Measures the level of a protein that can be elevated in the blood of some patients with certain types of cancers, most commonly ovarian cancer.
-
CA 15.3:A blood test used as a tumor marker, specifically for breast cancer.
-
CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen):Measures the amount of CEA in the blood, a protein that may be higher in certain types of cancer, especially colorectal cancer.
-
Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP):Helps to measure levels of Alpha feto protein, which is secreted in the liver. Abnormally high levels can warn against liver cirrhosis, hepatitis or cancers too.
-
Beta-hCG:Detects levels of Beta-hCG, which is created during pregnancy. However, elevated levels may also indicate ovarian tumors.
-
CA 19.9:Measures CA 19.9, which an antibody released in cases of certain cancer, especially pancreatic cancer.
Important Considerations:-
Not a definitive diagnosis:These tests are not a definitive diagnosis, and further tests may be needed to confirm a cancer diagnosis.
-
Consult with a doctor:It’s important to discuss the results of these tests with a doctor to determine the next steps.
-
Screening vs. Diagnostic:Some of these tests are used for screening (to detect cancer early), while others are used for diagnosis or monitoring treatment.
-
Other tests:In addition to blood tests, other screening tests, such as mammograms, Pap tests, and colonoscopies, are also important for detecting cancer in women.
-
Individualized approach:The specific tests and screening recommendations may vary depending on a woman’s age, risk factors, and medical history.

NEISSERIA GONORRHOEAE QUALITATIVE PCR
Neisseria gonorrhoeae PCR, also known as Gonorrhoea PCR, is a test that uses a sample (like a urine or swab) to detect the presence of the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae using a PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) method. This test is highly sensitive and specific, meaning it can accurately identify the bacteria and distinguish it from other microorganisms, according to Phadke Labs.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:-
-
What it is:
PCR is a molecular testing technique that amplifies specific DNA sequences, making them detectable and allowing for identification of the bacteria.
-
-
Why it’s used:
PCR is considered a highly sensitive and accurate test for diagnosing gonorrhoea, which is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
-
How it works:
A sample is taken from the affected area (e.g., urethra, cervix, rectum) and the DNA is extracted. Then, PCR is used to amplify a specific gene sequence from the Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria.
-
What it detects:
A positive result indicates the presence of the Neisseria gonorrhoeae DNA, suggesting a current infection.
-
When it’s recommended:
PCR testing is often recommended for individuals who may be at risk for gonorrhea, including those with symptoms, those who have multiple partners, and those in certain high-risk groups.
-
Important Considerations:
- False-negative results: Can occur due to improper specimen collection, technical errors, or concurrent antibiotic therapy.
-
- Co-infection: PCR can often be paired with a Chlamydia test as both STIs are commonly found together.
-
- Confirmation: Positive results may be confirmed by repeat testing or culture in some cases,

TRICHOMONAS VAGINALIS PCR
Trichomonas vaginalis is a parasitic protozoan that causes trichomoniasis, a common sexually transmitted infection (STI). It’s a flagellated, anaerobic parasite that infects the urogenital tract.
Key points about Trichomonas vaginalis:
-
- Causative Agent: Trichomonas vaginalis is the sole causative agent of trichomoniasis.
- Transmission: It’s primarily transmitted through sexual contact, including vaginal, oral, and anal sex.
- Causative Agent: Trichomonas vaginalis is the sole causative agent of trichomoniasis.
- Incubation Period: The incubation period for trichomoniasis is typically 5 to 28 days.
- Symptoms: While many people are asymptomatic, symptoms in women can include vaginal discharge, itching, painful intercourse, and urinary symptoms. Men may experience urethritis, testicular pain, or penile discharge.
- Treatment: Trichomoniasis is easily treated with antibiotics like metronidazole or tinidazole.
- Complications: Untreated trichomoniasis can increase the risk of acquiring or transmitting other STIs, including HIV, and can also cause inflammation of the reproductive tract.
