Lab report names starting with G

Abbreviations

• G002Bermuda Grass IgEMeasures IgE antibodies to Bermuda grass pollen to show whether your immune system has become sensitized to this warm-climate grass.
• G005Perennial Rye Grass IgEMeasures IgE antibodies to perennial ryegrass pollen, which shows whether your immune system has become sensitized to this common grass.
• g006Timothy Grass IgEMeasures IgE antibodies to timothy grass pollen, a leading grass allergen and a common cause of summer hay fever and pollen-related asthma symptoms.
• g10Johnson Grass IgEMeasures IgE antibodies to Johnson grass pollen, a grass of warm climates. A higher level means sensitization, which doesn't always cause symptoms.
• g2Bermuda Grass IgEMeasures IgE antibodies to Bermuda grass pollen to show whether your immune system has become sensitized to this warm-climate grass.
• G20210AProthrombin G20210A (Factor II)A DNA test for a common inherited change in the F2 gene that lets blood clot a little more easily. Most people who carry it never have a problem clot.
• g5Perennial Rye Grass IgEMeasures IgE antibodies to perennial ryegrass pollen, which shows whether your immune system has become sensitized to this common grass.
• g6Timothy Grass IgEMeasures IgE antibodies to timothy grass pollen, a leading grass allergen and a common cause of summer hay fever and pollen-related asthma symptoms.
• G6PDG6PD (Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase)Measures how active the G6PD enzyme is in your red blood cells. Low activity is called G6PD deficiency.
• G6PDHG6PD (Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase)Measures how active the G6PD enzyme is in your red blood cells. Low activity is called G6PD deficiency.
• g8Kentucky Blue Grass (June) IgEMeasures IgE antibodies to Kentucky bluegrass pollen. A higher level means sensitization, which doesn't always cause symptoms.
• GAD65GAD65 Antibody (Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase)Measures antibodies to GAD65, an enzyme in insulin-making cells and nerves; it is one of the islet antibodies used to look for autoimmune (type 1) diabetes.
• GADAGAD65 Antibody (Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase)Measures antibodies to GAD65, an enzyme in insulin-making cells and nerves; it is one of the islet antibodies used to look for autoimmune (type 1) diabetes.
• Gal d 1Gal d 1 ovomucoid (egg) IgEMeasures IgE to ovomucoid, the egg white protein that survives cooking, to help clinicians think about reactions to baked or cooked egg.
• Gamma-GTGamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT)A liver and bile duct enzyme. A higher level can be linked to alcohol, some medicines, fatty liver or bile duct problems.
• GBM AbAnti-Glomerular Basement Membrane (GBM) AntibodyAntibodies against a protein in the filters of your kidneys. A positive result is linked to anti-GBM disease, a rare condition that clinicians usually follow up quickly.
• GCNeisseria gonorrhoeae NAATA urine test that looks for the genetic material of the bacteria that cause gonorrhea, a common sexually transmitted infection.
• GC NAATNeisseria gonorrhoeae NAATA urine test that looks for the genetic material of the bacteria that cause gonorrhea, a common sexually transmitted infection.
• GCTGlucose (1-Hour, 50 g Challenge Screen)A first-step sugar test in pregnancy. Your blood sugar one hour after a 50 g sugar drink shows whether a longer test is needed.
• gFOBTFecal Immunochemical Test (FIT)A stool test that looks for tiny amounts of blood you cannot see. It is used in routine bowel cancer checks and when bleeding in the gut is suspected.
• GGTGamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT)A liver and bile duct enzyme. A higher level can be linked to alcohol, some medicines, fatty liver or bile duct problems.
• GGTPGamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT)A liver and bile duct enzyme. A higher level can be linked to alcohol, some medicines, fatty liver or bile duct problems.
• GHGrowth Hormone (GH)A hormone from the pituitary gland that drives growth in children and helps manage body composition in adults. It is released in bursts, so one level is hard to interpret.
• GHbHemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)A1c shows your average blood sugar over about the past 2 to 3 months, based on how much glucose is stuck to your hemoglobin.
• GlobGlobulin, TotalThe proteins in your blood other than albumin, including antibodies. Most reports calculate it as total protein minus albumin.
• GLTGlucose (1-Hour, 50 g Challenge Screen)A first-step sugar test in pregnancy. Your blood sugar one hour after a 50 g sugar drink shows whether a longer test is needed.
• GLUGlucoseGlucose is the sugar in your blood and your body's main fuel. This test shows how much is there at the moment the sample is drawn.
• GOTAspartate Aminotransferase (AST)An enzyme found mainly in the liver, and also in muscle and heart. Raised blood levels can be a sign of damage to those cells.
• GPTAlanine Aminotransferase (ALT)An enzyme made mostly in liver cells. It leaks into the blood when liver cells are irritated or damaged.
• GSPFructosamineFructosamine measures sugar-coated proteins in your blood, mostly albumin, and reflects your average blood sugar over the last 2 to 4 weeks.
• α-GalAlpha-gal IgEMeasures IgE antibodies to alpha-gal, a sugar found in red meat and other mammal products. It is linked to a tick-related allergy that causes delayed reactions.
• γ-GTGamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT)A liver and bile duct enzyme. A higher level can be linked to alcohol, some medicines, fatty liver or bile duct problems.
