AEC (Absolute Eosinophil Count)

₹73.00

An absolute eosinophil count is a blood test that measures the number of one type of white blood cells called eosinophils. Eosinophils become active when you have certain allergic diseases, infections, and other medical conditions.

Most of the time, blood is drawn from a vein on the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand. The site is cleaned with an antiseptic. The health care provider wraps an elastic band around your upper arm to make the vein swell with blood.

Next, the provider gently inserts a needle into the vein. The blood collects into an airtight tube attached to the needle. The elastic band is removed from your arm. The needle is then removed and the site is covered to stop bleeding.

In infants or young children, a sharp tool called a lancet may be used to prick the skin. The blood collects in a small glass tube, or onto a slide or test strip. A bandage is put on the spot to stop bleeding.

In the lab, the blood is placed on a microscope slide. A stain is added to the sample. This causes eosinophils to show up as orange-red granules. The technician then counts how many eosinophils are present per 100 cells. The percentage of eosinophils is multiplied by the white blood cell count to give the absolute eosinophil count.

  • ACTH

    This test measures the level of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in the blood. ACTH is a hormone made by the pituitary gland, a small gland at the base of the brain. ACTH controls the production of another hormone called cortisol. Cortisol is made by the adrenal glands, two small glands located above the kidneys. Cortisol plays an important role in helping you to:

    Respond to stress
    Fight infection
    Regulate blood sugar
    Maintain blood pressure
    Regulate metabolism, the process of how your body uses food and energy
    Too much or too little cortisol can cause serious health problems.

  • D-Dimer

    A D-dimer test looks for D-dimer in blood. D-dimer is a protein fragment (small piece) that’s made when a blood clot dissolves in your body.

    Blood clotting is an important process that prevents you from losing too much blood when you are injured. Normally, your body will dissolve the clot once your injury has healed. With a blood clotting disorder, clots can form when you don’t have an obvious injury or don’t dissolve when they should. These conditions can be very serious and even life-threatening. A D-dimer test can show if you have one of these conditions.

  • X-Ray

    An x-ray examination uses an electrical device to emit (put out) x-rays and digital technology to create two-dimensional pictures of internal body structures.

    A conventional x-ray examination is non-invasive, painless and does not require any recovery time.
    The dose of radiation from an x-ray examination is considered safe ? roughly the same as you would receive from the general environment in about one week.

  • Lung Function test

    Lung function tests, also known as pulmonary function tests, or PFTs, are a group of tests that check to see if your lungs are working right. The tests look for:

    How much air your lungs can hold
    How well you move air in and out of your lungs
    How well the lungs move oxygen into your bloodstream. Your blood cells need oxygen to grow and stay healthy.
    There are several types of lung function tests. They include:

    Spirometry. the most common type of lung function test. It measures how much and how quickly you can move air in and out of your lungs.
    Lung volume test. also known as body plethysmography. This test measures the amount of air you can hold in your lungs and the amount of air that remains after you exhale (breathe out) as much as you can.
    Gas diffusion test. This test measures how oxygen and other gases move from the lungs to the bloodstream.
    Exercise stress test. This test looks at how exercise affects lung function.

  • SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)

    What is an SHBG blood test?
    This test measures the levels of SHBG in your blood. SHBG stands for sex hormone binding globulin. It’s a protein made by the liver and attaches itself to sex hormones found in both men and women. These hormones are:

    Testosterone, the main sex hormone in men
    Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), another male sex hormone
    Estradiol, a form of estrogen, the main sex hormone in women
    SHBG controls how much of these hormones are delivered to the body’s tissues. Although SHBG attaches to all three of these hormones, an SHBG test is mostly used to look at testosterone. SHBG levels can show if there is too much or too little testosterone being used by the body. What is it used for?
    An SHBG test is most often used to find out how much testosterone is going to the body’s tissues. Testosterone levels can be measured in a separate test called total testosterone. This test shows how much testosterone is in the body, but not how much is being used by the body.

    Sometimes a total testosterone test is enough to make a diagnosis. But some people have symptoms of too much or too little of the hormone that the total testosterone test results can’t explain. In these cases, an SHBG test may be ordered to provide more information about how much testosterone is available to the body.

  • Vision Test

    A vision screening, also called an eye test, is a brief exam that looks for potential vision problems and eye disorders. Vision screenings are often done by primary care providers as part of a child’s regular checkup. Sometimes screenings are given to children by school nurses.

    Vision screening is not used to diagnose vision problems. If a problem is found on a vision screening, your or your child’s provider will refer you to an eye care specialist for diagnosis and treatment. This specialist will do a more thorough eye test. Many vision problems and disorders can be successfully treated with corrective lenses, minor surgery, or other therapies.
