Ampath Tests

Platelet Function Assay

A platelet function assay is a test that evaluates how well platelets (blood cells that help stop bleeding) are working.

Pneumococcal IgG (PNEUMO)

Pneumococcal IgG antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system in response to Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria, which can cause serious infections like pneumonia, meningitis, and sepsis. Testing for these antibodies, particularly after vaccination, helps assess the immune response to the bacteria and determine if an individual is protected against infection.

Pneumonia PCR Panel (PNEUMOPCR)

A pneumonia PCR panel is a diagnostic test that uses polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology to rapidly identify multiple bacteria and viruses that can cause pneumonia.

Prenatal chromosomal microarray (ACGHPREN)

A prenatal chromosomal microarray (CMA) is a genetic test that detects imbalances in fetal chromosomes, such as missing or extra genetic material. I

Primary Immune Deficiency Gene Sequencing

Primary immunodeficiency (PI) gene sequencing involves analysing an individual's DNA to identify specific genetic mutations that cause or contribute to these disorders.

Procalcitonin (PCT)

Procalcitonin (PCT) is a protein precursor to calcitonin, a hormone involved in calcium regulation.

Procollagen 3 N Peptide

P3NP is particularly useful in medical diagnostics as a non-invasive marker for detecting and monitoring liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, especially in patients undergoing methotrexate treatment for dermatological conditions.

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA)

A PSA test is a blood test that measures prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a protein produced by the prostate gland.

Prothrombin Time (PT) and INR

PT/INR is a blood test that measures how long it takes your blood to clot.

Rubella IgM + IgG

Tests for antibodies against Rubella (German measles)
