Description

The S100 test measures the levels of S100 proteins in the blood. These proteins are found in a variety of cells, including those in the brain, heart, and skin. The test is often used to monitor disease progression in patients with melanoma, a type of skin cancer, and to assess brain injury or neurological disorders. Elevated levels of S100 proteins can indicate cell damage or disease activity.

Overview
The S100 Test is a diagnostic tool used to assess the levels of S100 protein in the blood. Elevated levels of S100 protein may indicate various medical conditions, including but not limited to neurological disorders, melanoma, and cardiovascular diseases. The test is valuable in diagnosing and monitoring these conditions, aiding in timely medical interventions.
Risk Assessment
The S100 Test poses minimal risk to individuals undergoing the procedure.
Ranges
Normal Range: The normal reference range for serum S100B is generally less than 0.105 µg/L (105 ng/L). Elevated Levels: Values above this range are considered elevated and may indicate an abnormal condition. Interpretation of Results
Interpretation
Neurological Disorders:
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Elevated S100B levels can indicate the presence of brain injury. S100B is often used as a biomarker for assessing the severity of brain injury and guiding further imaging studies.
Stroke: Higher S100B levels may be seen in patients with stroke, helping to differentiate between ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes.
Neurodegenerative Diseases: Elevated levels can be associated with diseases such as Alzheimer's and multiple sclerosis.
 
Malignant Melanoma:
Diagnosis and Prognosis: S100B is used as a tumor marker in malignant melanoma. Elevated levels can indicate the presence of melanoma and are often associated with disease progression and metastasis.
 
Other Conditions:
Inflammatory Diseases: Conditions like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and other autoimmune diseases can show increased S100B levels.
Cardiac Surgery: Elevated S100B levels can be observed after cardiac surgery, which may indicate brain injury related to the procedure.
Sample Type
The S100 Test requires a blood sample.
