The doctor may be able to discuss some results immediately after the test. Full results should be ready within 2 days. A narrow spot in an artery may indicate a fatty deposit, clot, or other narrowing that reduces blood flow through the blood vessel. Blood vessels that are not in their normal position may indicate that a tumor or other growth is pushing against them.

deCODE takes your privacy seriously, and our testing process is designed to ensure that it is the individual being tested who designates those to whom the results will be reported. deCODE will report results only to the physician(s) and/or healthcare institution(s) specified on the test request form and as confirmed by the individual in his/her informed consent.

When your physician orders diagnostic tests for you, our office will usually recieve the results within a week. If there are abnormalities, or if your physician has any concerns, you will be contacted. Your physician will discuss your test results with you either by telephone or at your next appointment. We will communicate with you by letter or by telephone, so please be sure that your name, address and telephone number are up to date in our records.

Once you call in to receive your results over the phone, a copy of the results can be mailed or faxed to you.

Most manufacturers of glucose testing products provide a record diary, although some health care providers may have their own version. Something as simple as a plain paper notebook will work just as well. For your convenience, a printable Daily Diabetes Log can be found on this site. You should record any test result immediately because it's easy to forget what the reading was during the course of a busy day.

Yes. The VAP Test is based on ultracentrifugation, the gold standard for reference lab lipid measurement. The test is processed at Atherotech's CLIA-approved diagnostic laboratory. In addition, Atherotech has the accuracy of the VAP Test confirmed by three highly recognized lipid standardization programs-the American Association of Bioanalysts, the Northwest Lipid Research Laboratories, and the Accutest Proficiency Testing Program.

If the 1-hour test results exceed 199 mg/dl. The woman is then referred to the CPMC Diabetes and Pregnancy Program without proceeding onto the 3-hour test. If the fasting blood sugar is equal to or greater than 95 mg/dl or two of the three hour results are abnormal, then the woman is referred to the CPMC Diabetes and Pregnancy Program for full nutrition counseling and blood glucose monitoring.

Some screening and test results are available immediately. Others are delivered by mail or the Internet, at your option, usually within seven business days. If you elect to receive results by mail, you will receive your results within seven business days. If you would prefer to check results over the Internet, then you will receive an email within four business days with a unique user name and password.

The Lipoprint System produces an easy-to-interpret patient profile, which features a percentage of lipoprotein distribution, cholesterol levels in each fraction, LDL particle sizes and a comparison to normal cholesterol distribution.

Evaluate possible problems with blood vessels that affect blood flow, such as a tear that can cause blockage or internal bleeding, aneurysms that indicate a weakness in the blood vessel wall, narrow areas, and blockage caused by blood clots or the buildup of fatty deposits. Investigate the pattern of blood flow to a tumor. This can help determine the extent of the tumor and guide treatment.

angiogram is an x-ray picture of blood vessels or chambers of the heart that shows the course of a special fluid called a contrast medium or dye injected into the bloodstream. Traditional angiography is an invasive procedure performed in a hospital catheterization laboratory and usually requires a day of hospitalization. Heartscan's Electron Beam Angiography (EBA) test is a non-invasive alternative to traditional coronary angiography.

Right before the Wada test, a cerebral angiogram is done. The angiogram looks at blood flow within the brain to make sure that there are no obstacles to performing the Wada. The neuroradiologist inserts a catheter (a long, narrow tube) into an artery, usually in the leg. The catheter is directed to the right or left internal carotid artery in the neck, which supplies the brain with blood. Once the catheter is in place, a dye is injected. Some patients report a warm sensation when this happens.

angiogram of the eye is useful in detailed diagnosis of the eye, but it is not a routine examination. If a retinal specialist sees abnormalities in the eye or if an individual notices a new distortion while using the Amsler grid, then an angiogram may be recommended to aid in planning treatment. However, the angiogram procedure involves injecting a dye into the vein of the arm. The fluorescein travels rapidly into the eye circulation, which can then be imaged.

Please contact your physician's office directly for test results. In the near future we hope to be able to send these to you via secured email.
