Urine Tests
• Urinalysis: General screening test for overall health, including tests for pH, protein, glucose, ketones, and signs of infection.

• Colonoscopy: Examination of the large intestine (colon) using a flexible camera to check for abnormalities.
• Stool Tests: Tests that analyze stool samples for blood, parasites, bacteria, and other markers of digestive health.
• Liver Function Tests: Blood tests that measure liver enzymes and proteins to assess liver health.
• Helicobacter Pylori Tests: Tests for the bacteria H. pylori, which can cause stomach ulcers.
 
 Infectious Disease Tests
• PCR Tests: Detects the genetic material of viruses, bacteria, or other pathogens, used for diseases like COVID-19.
• Rapid Antigen Tests: Quick tests that detect the presence of specific viral antigens.
• Serological Tests: Detects antibodies or antigens to diagnose infections like hepatitis, HIV, and syphilis.
• Culture Tests: Growing microorganisms in a lab to identify the cause of an infection.
 
 Toxicology Tests
• Drug Screening: Tests for the presence of drugs or their metabolites in the body, commonly used in workplaces and clinical settings.
• Poison Detection: Identifies the presence of toxic substances, such as heavy metals or poisons.
