Urease test

Non-invasive examination, which consists in the detection of the bacteria called Helicobacter Pylori, that can be found on your stomach or duodenum.
A liquid containing marked urea (a compound which is metabolised in the body) is drank, and the expired (exhaled) air is collected afterwards.

Uric Acid

Normal Values:
2,5 to 5,6 mg% in women
3,1 to 7 mg% in men

Uric acid (pediatric)

Uric acid is a compound produced when the body decomposes substances, called purine. Purines are in some food and beverages, such as red meat, shellfish, lentils, chickpea and alcoholic beverage.
The examination measures the value of uric acid in blood
For its examination a blood sample is taken from a vein (venipuncture)
Normal Values:
Newborn: 2-6,2 mg/dl
Children: 3,5-7 mg/dl
Normal values vary based on the laboratory

Uric Acid in 24-hours urine

Normal value of Uric Acid in urine of an entire day.
Uric Acid: 520 ± 147 mg/day/1,73 m2

Uric Acid in urine in 24 hours

Normal Value of Uric Acid in urine collected during a whole day:
Uric Acid: 520 ± 147 mg/day/1,73 m2

Uric acid in urine of 24 hours

Normal value of Uric Acid in urine of an entire day.
Uric Acid: 520 ± 147 mg/day/1,73 m2

Urinary free cortisol

Cortisol is a steroid or glucocorticoid hormone, produced by the adrenal glands (glands located above the kidney). Its main functions are increase the levels of sugar in blood, suppress the immune system or defense and help the metabolism of fat, proteins and carbohydrates.
This test measures the amount of cortisol in urine.
For this test a sample of urine of a day (collected during 24 hs)
Normal value (based on the method used):
10-90 µg/24 hours (with RIA)
12-103 µg/24 hours (with Chemiluminescence)
Values vary based on the laboratory

Bacteria: None
Epithelial Cells: None
Hyaline Casts: 0 to 5 x field

Urine analysis
Normal Values:
Erythrocytes: 0 to 2 per field
Leukocyte: 0 to 10 per field (in women) y 0 to 5 per field (in men)
Bacteria: None
