Comprehensive Blood Test Overview:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): Analyzes red and white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets to assess overall health and detect infections, anemia, or blood disorders.
- Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR): Measures inflammation by detecting how quickly red blood cells settle in a test tube.
- Blood Sugar Fasting with PP: Monitors glucose levels in fasting state and postprandial (after meals) to assess diabetes control.
- Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1C): Reflects average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months, crucial for diabetes management.
- Lipid Profile: Evaluates cholesterol levels (LDL, HDL, total cholesterol) and triglycerides to assess cardiovascular risk.
- Kidney Function Test with Na+ K+: Measures creatinine, urea, and electrolytes (sodium, potassium) to assess kidney health.
- Liver Function Test: Assesses liver enzymes (ALT, AST), bilirubin, and protein levels to evaluate liver health.
- PT-INR, APTT: Tests blood clotting ability, essential for monitoring anticoagulant therapy or bleeding disorders.
- CPK, CPK-MB, Troponin-I: Evaluates heart and muscle health; key markers in detecting heart attacks.
- Thyroid Function Test: Measures T3, T4, and TSH to assess thyroid gland performance and diagnose hypo/hyperthyroidism.
- Vitamin D, Vitamin B12: Assesses levels of essential vitamins for bone health, energy, and neurological function.
- Calcium, Phosphorus: Evaluates mineral levels critical for bone strength and cellular processes.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis Factor (RA Factor): Detects antibodies associated with rheumatoid arthritis.
- C-Reactive Protein (CRP): Measures inflammation and monitors conditions like infections or autoimmune diseases.
- Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA): Screens for autoimmune disorders like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
- Gamma GT (GGT), LDH: GGT assesses liver function, while LDH monitors cell damage in tissues or organs.
- Iron Profile (Iron, TIBC, Ferritin): Determines iron levels, total iron-binding capacity, and storage (ferritin) for anemia diagnosis.
- H. Pylori Antibody: Detects Helicobacter pylori infection, which can cause ulcers and stomach issues.
- Stool R/E with Occult Blood: Examines stool for infections, digestion issues, or hidden blood indicating gastrointestinal problems.
- Blood Grouping (ABO): Identifies blood type for transfusions or compatibility checks.
- Serology Profile:
- HIV I & II: Detects antibodies for HIV infections.
- HBsAg: Identifies hepatitis B surface antigen for hepatitis B diagnosis.
- Anti-HCV: Screens for hepatitis C virus infection.
- TPHA, VDRL (RPR): Detects syphilis infections.
- Urine R/E, Ketone Bodies: Examines urine for infections, kidney function, or presence of ketones indicating diabetes or starvation.
- ACR (Albumin Creatinine Ratio): Evaluates kidney function and detects early signs of kidney disease.
- Tumor Markers:
- Alpha Feto Protein (AFP): Screens for liver and testicular cancers.
- Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA): Monitors certain cancers like colorectal and pancreatic.
- Cancer Antigen (CA125): Specific for ovarian cancer in females.
- Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) – Total: Monitors prostate health and detects prostate cancer in males.
