Lab Test Anti-Factor Xa Assay, Chromograsnin A, Histamine, Tryptase May 1, 2018


Test In Range Out Of Range Units Reference
Anti-Factor Xa Assay   L 0.10 U/mL 0.3 - 0.7
 
Chromogranin A serum   551 H ng/mL 25 - 140
  This test was poerformed using a laboratory developed ELISA method. Values obtained with different assay methods cannot be used interchangeabley. Chromogranin A levels, regardless of value, should not be interpreted as absolute evidence of the presence or absence of disease.
This test was developed and its analytical performance characteristics have been deterrmined by Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano. It has not been cleared or approved by FDA. This assay has been validated pursuant to the CLIA reggulations and is used for clinical purposes.
 
Histamine, serum < 1.5   ng/mL 0.1 - 1.8
  This test was performed using a kit that has not been cleared or approved by the FDA. The analytical performance characteristics of this test have beren determined by Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano. This test should not be used for diagnosis without confirmation by other medically established means.
 
Tryptase 4   ng/mL < 11
  The Tryptase test, fluorescent enzyme immunoassay (FEIA), measures both the Alpha and Beta forms of Tryptase. Measuring both forms of Tryptase increases sensitivity for the dianosis of mastocytosis, and mast cell degranulation as a cause of anaphnylaxis.
