A Prostate Specific Antigen blood test is a test that will check the levels of protein produced in the prostate gland. Those levels will indicate if there is prostate cancer or non-cancerous cells.
Thyroid Testing
When there is an over production of the thyroid protein a person will have hyperthyroidism. Hypothyroidism is when the thyroid protein in not produced enough. A Thyroid Profile or the Thyroid Function Test will help the patient know the levels of their thyroid. Determining the right type of treatment will let the patient know what actions need to be taken in order to get healthy.
Liver Testing
A damaged or diseased liver is caused by multiple things. These can be recreational drugs, heavy alcohol intake, prescription drugs, overweight, elevated cholesterol levels or exposure to any of the Hepatitis’s. The ALT Blood test can help to determine what the level of damage to the liver is. Along with the Hepatitis A, B, and C blood tests.
Cancer Testing
The good thing about being tested for different types of cancers is that most of them can be treated and some of them can even be cured. There are numerous tests that can be taken that will test for many various tumor markers. There is the CEA, Cancer Antigen 19-9, Cancer Antigen 27.29, Cancer Antigen 125, and the AFP blood tests. These different types of blood tests will screen the blood to look for a particular type of cancer, whatever the test that you are taking. For 500 dollars at the Health Testing Centers, all of those tests can be done for both the male and the female.
