Lab report names starting with D

Abbreviations

• D BILIBilirubin, DirectThe part of bilirubin your liver has already processed. A raised level can be a sign that bile isn't draining from the liver as usual.
• D. farinaeD. farinae (American house dust mite) IgEShows whether your immune system has made IgE antibodies to Dermatophagoides farinae, one of the two main house dust mite species.
• D. pteronyssinusD. pteronyssinus (European house dust mite) IgEShows whether your immune system has made IgE antibodies to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, one of the two main house dust mite species.
• D001D. pteronyssinus (European house dust mite) IgEShows whether your immune system has made IgE antibodies to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, one of the two main house dust mite species.
• D002D. farinae (American house dust mite) IgEShows whether your immune system has made IgE antibodies to Dermatophagoides farinae, one of the two main house dust mite species.
• d1D. pteronyssinus (European house dust mite) IgEShows whether your immune system has made IgE antibodies to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, one of the two main house dust mite species.
• d2D. farinae (American house dust mite) IgEShows whether your immune system has made IgE antibodies to Dermatophagoides farinae, one of the two main house dust mite species.
• DATDirect Antiglobulin Test (Direct Coombs)A blood-bank test that checks whether antibodies or complement proteins are stuck to the surface of your red blood cells.
• DBILBilirubin, DirectThe part of bilirubin your liver has already processed. A raised level can be a sign that bile isn't draining from the liver as usual.
• Dengue Ab IgGDengue virus IgGLooks for IgG antibodies that show whether your immune system has met a dengue virus before, but it cannot date the infection.
• Dengue IgMDengue virus IgMA blood test for IgM antibodies against the dengue virus, used to look for a recent dengue infection.
• Dengue NS1Dengue NS1 antigenDetects a dengue virus protein in the blood during the first days of illness, which can show an early, current dengue infection.
• DENV IgGDengue virus IgGLooks for IgG antibodies that show whether your immune system has met a dengue virus before, but it cannot date the infection.
• DENV IgMDengue virus IgMA blood test for IgM antibodies against the dengue virus, used to look for a recent dengue infection.
• DENV NS1Dengue NS1 antigenDetects a dengue virus protein in the blood during the first days of illness, which can show an early, current dengue infection.
• DGP IgADeamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgAAn antibody test for celiac disease that looks for IgA antibodies to a modified gluten protein. It is usually a second-line test, with tTG-IgA used first.
• DGP IgGDeamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgGAn antibody test for celiac disease that looks for IgG antibodies to a modified gluten protein. It is often chosen when a person has low or missing IgA.
• DHADHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid)The amount of DHA, an omega-3 fat found in fish and algae, in your blood. It mostly reflects what you ate or took recently.
• DHEADHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone, Unconjugated)A hormone made mostly by the adrenal glands that the body uses as a building block for sex hormones. It differs from DHEA-S, and levels fall steadily with age.
• DHEA-SDHEA Sulfate (DHEA-S)A hormone made by your adrenal glands that your body uses to make sex hormones. It peaks in your twenties and falls with age, so ranges depend on age and sex.
• DHEA-SO4DHEA Sulfate (DHEA-S)A hormone made by your adrenal glands that your body uses to make sex hormones. It peaks in your twenties and falls with age, so ranges depend on age and sex.
• DHTDihydrotestosterone (DHT)A strong androgen made from testosterone, mostly inside tissues such as the prostate, skin and hair follicles. It is a specialist test.
• Diphtheria IgGDiphtheria antitoxoid IgGMeasures antibodies against the diphtheria toxin to show whether vaccination or past exposure still gives you protection.
• dLDL-CLDL CholesterolThe cholesterol carried in LDL particles, which can build up in artery walls. It is the main cholesterol number used to estimate heart and blood vessel risk.
• DQ2HLA-DQ2 / DQ8 (Celiac Genetics)A blood test that shows whether you carry the HLA-DQ2 or DQ8 gene versions seen in nearly everyone with celiac disease. It cannot diagnose celiac disease.
• DQ2.2HLA-DQ2 / DQ8 (Celiac Genetics)A blood test that shows whether you carry the HLA-DQ2 or DQ8 gene versions seen in nearly everyone with celiac disease. It cannot diagnose celiac disease.
• DQ8HLA-DQ2 / DQ8 (Celiac Genetics)A blood test that shows whether you carry the HLA-DQ2 or DQ8 gene versions seen in nearly everyone with celiac disease. It cannot diagnose celiac disease.
• DRCRenin, Direct ConcentrationCounts the amount of active renin, a kidney enzyme that helps control blood pressure and salt balance. It is not the same test as renin activity.
• dsDNAAnti-dsDNA Antibody (quantitative)Antibodies that target your own DNA. A positive result is linked to lupus, and in people with lupus the level is sometimes followed over time.
• dsDNA AbAnti-dsDNA Antibody (quantitative)Antibodies that target your own DNA. A positive result is linked to lupus, and in people with lupus the level is sometimes followed over time.
• DunedinPACEDunedinPACE (Pace of Aging)A DNA test that estimates how fast your body is aging. A value of 1.0 means one biological year of aging for each calendar year.
