Giardiasis is recognized as an important human intestinal disease in most areas of the world. The causative organism, Giardia duodenalis (lamblia), is the most frequently identified protozoan parasite in stool specimens submitted to public health laboratories. This parasite has been implicated in a number of epidemics, and the endemicity in the U.S. is well recognized. Acute symptoms of Giardiasis may include diarrhea, malabsorption, abdominal cramps, anorexia, nausea, weight loss, flatulence, anemia, and general weakness lasting from several weeks to several months. Chronic infections can also occur with or without an acute phase, are often associated with treatment failure, and may result in recurrent symptoms. Infection with Giardia may also be asymptomatic.

This test checks for antibodies against gliadin, a key protein in gluten, to help diagnose celiac disease. While gliadin antibodies can appear in people without celiac disease, making the test less specific, recent advancements have improved its accuracy. The test now uses deamidated gliadin peptides, which have a higher chance of detecting celiac disease accurately due to their strong reaction with celiac-specific antibodies.

Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is a protein expressed in astrocytes, cells that support neurons and help form the blood-brain barrier, found within the central nervous system (CNS), and is involved in several important CNS processes. It is a marker of astrogliosis and is upregulated in the brain as a result of attempts at repair and the formation of a glial scar. Glial scarring occurs as a result of several neurodegenerative processes, including Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, and neuromyelitis optica. It can also be seen after damaging pathological events such as traumatic brain injury and stroke [1]. Increased presence of GFAP can also be observed in association with brain tumors such as glioblastoma multiforme [2]. GFAP expression is known to decrease in disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression [3].

This test is primarily used to check for a specific type of tumor in the pancreas known as a glucagon-secreting tumor or glucagonoma. Glucagonomas can lead to a unique set of symptoms including a distinctive rash, mild diabetes, weight loss, and low levels of amino acids in the blood (hypoaminoacidemia). High levels of glucagon in the plasma confirm the presence of a glucagonoma.
