Glucose tolerance test

It's a laboratory analysis done to diagnose type 2 diabetes and diabetes in pregnant women.
A sample of blood is taken and then the person has to drink a liquid with a specified amount of glucose. Then, blood is taken every 6o minutes to measure glycemia.
Normal values
Glycemia in fast: 60 to 100 mg/100 ml
Glycemia after one hour: less than 200 mgr/100ml
Glycemia after 2 hours: less than 140 mgr/100 ml
Normal values in pregnant women:
Glycemia in fast: less than 95 mgr/100 ml
Glycemia after one hour: less than 180 mgr/100ml
Glycemia after two hours: less than 155 mgr/100ml

Glycaemia

Glycaemia: amount of glucose in blood

Normal Value:
Fasting glycaemia: 75 to 110 mg. x 100ml

Glycemia

Amount glucose in the blood
Normal Value:
75 to 110mg/100ml

glycemia (pediatric)

It is the value of glucose in the child's serum. It is perfomr through a blood sample and its result depends on the age: Normal values are:

Child's age: 1 day: 50 to 90 mgr/dl
Children: 60 to 100 mgr/dl

glycosylated hemoglobin

It's a blood test that measures the average of sugar in blood in the last 3 months.

Goniotomy

Surgery performed to treat glaucoma, in which the imperfection is corrected (realising the eye's anterior chamber which is occupied by a tissue) to unblock the passage of the aqueous humor and reduce the pressure inside the eye.

GOT

GOT: 10 to 40 U/L in men
9 to 25 U/L in women

GPT

GPT: 10 to 55 U/L in men
7 to 30 U/L in women

Graham test or anal brush

It's a test to viasualize oxyure eggs (parasite). For that, "touches" are made with the adhesive part of the transparent tape around the anus area, in the first hours of the morning before hygiene. Then, the tape is put in a glass (microscope slide) which is sent to the laboratoy for its observation in a microscope.

Graham Test or anal brushing

Test to visualize the oxyure eggs (parasite). For that "touches" are made with the adhesive part of a transparent tape around the anus, in the first hours of the morning, before hygiene. Then the tape is put into a glass (slide) which is sent to the lab for its observation on a microscope.

Graham Test or anal swabs

This test was designed to display pinworm eggs (parasite). “Touchs” are made with a transparent adhesive tape around the anal zone in the morning before hygienization. Then the tape is settled in a glass (slide) which is sent to a lab for its analysis.
