Clinical Chemistry and Toxicology
We offer a variety of testing, from routine to esoteric. Automation, including in-house developed technology, allows for rapid turnaround times and the best quality the industry has to offer. We are one of the only laboratories to offer newborn drug testing on umbilical cord tissue and our experts continually improve on the test’s efficacy and expand on the drugs detected.
Clinical Chemistry Topics
Thiopurine Metabolites in Red Blood Cells
Measurement of thiopurine metabolites may be useful to identify risk of toxicity after the initiation of thiopurine drug therapy, and may also be used to monitor adherence to therapy or optimize dosing.
Soluble Mesothelin Related Peptides (MESOMARK®)
MESOMARK, the first serum-based mesothelin biomarker, continues to be relevant for mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is easiest to treat and has the best outcomes when it is found early and monitored routinely.
Noninvasive Liver Testing
FibroMeter utilizes an expert system to detect anomalous profiles and maximize diagnostic reliability.
Calculi (Stone) Testing
ARUP offers a comprehensive menu to assess patients with kidney stone disease.
Indications for Autoimmune Diabetes Mellitus Insulin Antibody Testing
This testing is most useful in establishing autoimmune etiology in previously diagnosed type 1 DM.
Lipid Particle Analysis
Every 36 seconds, one person in the U.S. dies from cardiovascular disease. LipoFit by NMR is a competitive alternative to lipid particle analysis tests. High-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology is used to measure a patient’s lipoprotein particle number and size.
Toxicology
Targeted Drug Profiles for Compliance Monitoring
ARUP’s unique approach to pain management patient monitoring offers physicians multiple choices. As a complement to our qualitative mass spectrometry panels, ARUP offers physicians an immunoassay with auto reflex to LC/MS/MS quantitative results.
Newborn Drug Testing
Timely detection of in utero drug exposure is critical for effective detection and management of intoxication, withdrawal syndrome, and long-term needs (social and medical) for exposed neonates.
