What the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) measures
VEGF is a modulator of angiogenesis & promotes new blood vessel formation. This is achieved by inducing migration of endothelial cells, promoting mitoses of endothelial cells & upregulating matrix metalloproteinase activity. VEGF also regulates pathological blood vessel formation as in tumor growth & metastasis, Macular degeneration, Rheumatoid arthritis and polyneuropathy syndromes. This assay has value in the evaluation of patients with various types of cancer who are being considered for anti-angiogenesis therapy.
Price: the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) costs ₹8,000 at Pure Bliss (MRP ₹10,000), with the sample collected at our Action Area 2, New Town centre or at your home.
How to prepare, the sample, and when to expect the report
Preparation
Most tests need no special preparation, but some need fasting or a particular time of day. The team will tell you when you book. Carry your doctor’s prescription if you have one.
Reporting time
Most routine reports within 24 hours; specialised tests can take up to 72 hours.
Reading the result
Reference ranges differ between laboratories, so your report lists the laboratory’s own range beside each value. A result outside the range does not always mean illness; ask your doctor to explain it.
