• DPYD Mutation Analysis Looks for inherited variants in the DPYD gene, which affect how your body breaks down fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy drugs such as fluorouracil and capecitabine.
• DPYD Phenotype Your predicted DPD enzyme activity, worked out from your DPYD genotype, which helps estimate how you may handle fluorouracil and capecitabine chemotherapy.
• Duck Feathers (e86) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to duck feathers to check for allergic sensitization that may relate to symptoms from feather bedding or contact with ducks.
• eAG (mg/dL) Estimated average glucose — your HbA1c result translated into the same units as a daily glucose meter reading, for easier comparison.
• eAG (mmol/L) Estimated average glucose (eAG) in mmol/L, calculated from your hemoglobin A1c to express roughly what your average blood sugar has been over recent months.
• Egg Mix (Yolk and White) (f245) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to a combined extract of egg yolk and egg white, a screening check for allergic sensitization to hen's egg.
• Eggplant (f262) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to eggplant (aubergine) to check for allergic sensitization that may explain reactions after eating or handling eggplant.
• Egg White (f1) IgE
• Egg White (f1) IgG Measures IgG antibodies to egg white, which reflect exposure to this common food; the link between food IgG and symptoms is debated.
• Egg Yolk (f75) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to egg yolk proteins to check for allergic sensitization to hen's egg yolk, often tested alongside egg white.

• Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA), C20:5 Omega-3 Measures eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an omega-3 fatty acid, in serum to help assess your omega-3 intake and overall fatty acid balance.
• Elm (t8) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to American elm tree pollen, indicating a possible allergic sensitivity to this common spring-blooming tree.
• Endomysial Antibody IgAEMA A highly specific antibody test used to help confirm celiac disease.
• English Plantain (w9) IgE
• Enterobius vermicularis, Pinworm Prep Looks for pinworm eggs collected from the skin around the anus with a sticky paddle or tape, the standard way to check for pinworm infection.
• Eosinophil Cationic ProteinECP A protein released by activated eosinophils, measured to gauge the level of eosinophil-driven inflammation in allergic conditions such as asthma.
• Eosinophils The number of eosinophils, a white blood cell type involved in allergic reactions and parasite defense, in your blood.
• Eosinophils (%) The percentage of your white blood cells that are eosinophils, elevated with allergies, asthma, or parasitic infections.
