We also provide specialized genetic tests, including cancer panels, to assist in early detection and personalized treatment. Additionally, we offer allergy tests, including food allergy testing, and food intolerance tests to identify and manage specific sensitivities. Trust our expertise and advanced technology to deliver accurate results and guide you toward optimal health and well-being.

Routine Checkup and Overall Well-being

Lab tests are one of the best ways to learn more about how your body is functioning. Routine checkups are an integral part of our services at Bionova Healthcare so that you and your physician benefit from accurate information about your health for overall well-being. This includes a Complete Blood Count, Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, Lipid Panel, Basic Thyroid Function Panel, Urine Analysis, and Stool Analysis. Refer to our List of Panels for more details.

Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases

The timely identification, isolation, and characterization of infectious organisms is essential for the effective treatment of infection. The interpretation of results at Bionova Healthcare is led by a team of experts with over 15 years of specialized experience, and is based on EuCAST (European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing) 2023 guidelines and recommendations.

Hormonal Imbalances

Hormones play a large role in our daily functions and regulate growth, sexual function, reproduction, metabolism, and even sleep; affecting virtually every organ in the human body. If your hormones are not at the proper level you may experience symptoms such as unexplained weight gain/loss, appetite changes, sleep disruption, decreased sex drive, mood swings, or excessive fatigue. Bionova Healthcare is equipped with the latest international methods of hormone testing for the identification of any imbalance.

Nutritional Deficiencies

Over the past few decades, clinical evidence has shown close association between health and nutrition. Certain essential nutrients such as proteins, some minerals, and vitamins fulfill a variety of functions in the body from building our tissues, to optimizing immune function and regulating organ systems. At Bionova Healthcare, we offer a wide range of tests to help your healthcare provider detect any deficiencies you might have and help you remain in tip top health.

Cardiac Biomarkers

Cardiac biomarkers are enzymes that are released into the bloodstream when the heart is injured or under stress. These enzymes have an essential role in diagnosis, risk stratification, guiding management, and clinical decision making for patients with heart disease, elevated lipids, or a family history of heart disease. At Bionova Healthcare, we make sure that your results are of highest quality and issued ASAP, for timely and effective care.

Coagulation Studies

Coagulation factors (also called clotting factors) are specific proteins in the blood that help form clots to stop bleeding in case of injury. Coagulation system disorders can lead either to an increased risk of bleeding, or to an increased risk of clot formation. Several tests of the coagulation pathway are available at Bionova Healthcare including PT, PTT, Fibrinogen, Mixing Studies, and other specific factors, to help your physician tailor your treatment to your needs.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune disease occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks your healthy cells. This often causes inflammation and can affect many parts of the body, which makes diagnosis complicated. Testing at a reliable laboratory is of great value when an autoimmune disease is suspected. At Bionova Healthcare, we use golden-standard procedures to test for various specialized autoimmune markers including ANA, Anti-dsDNA, Anti-ENA, Anti-CCP, Anti-Sjögren’s (SSA and SSB), Anti-Smith, Anti-Scleroderma, and Anti-RNP among others.

Allergy Testing

Allergies are caused by the hypersensitivity of the immune system to substances that are typically harmless (allergens). These allergens are found in food, pets, pollen, insects, molds, and even medications. Symptoms include redness, swelling, itchiness, runny nose/sneezing, nausea, vomiting, cough, and shortness of breath among others. Multiple methods covering nearly all relevant immunoglobulins are available at Bionova Healthcare, with panels specifically tailored for the Lebanese population. Other microarray panels of over 170 molecular allergens and over 115 extracts are also available.

Food Intolerance

Unlike a food allergy which is triggered by the immune system, food intolerance is triggered by the digestive system. Symptoms vary between flatulence, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, stomach cramping, and nausea. At Bionova Healthcare we offer an ELISA-based Nano-bead technology microarray test for the detection of Class G Immunoglobulins (IgG) for more than 280 food antigens from 13 different food groups. Your results also include individualized dietary recommendations.

Genetic Testing

Variations in certain genes, gene expressions, or chromosomes in cells can cause or increase the risk of some disorders or conditions, including cancers. At Bionova Healthcare we offer three major types of genetic testing: cytogenetic (to examine whole chromosomes), biochemical (to measure proteins produced by genes), and molecular (to look for small DNA variations). Your results are carefully interpreted by our experts to aid your physician with early detection, a more informed diagnosis, and personalized treatment.
