• T4

  A T4 test is used to check how well your thyroid is working. It’s also used to help diagnose and monitor thyroid disease and conditions that may affect your thyroid, including:

  Hypothyroidism, or underactive thyroid, which is when your thyroid gland doesn’t make enough thyroid hormone to meet your body’s needs
  Hyperthyroidism, or overactive thyroid, which is when your thyroid gland makes more thyroid hormone than your body needs
  Disorders of the pituitary gland, which is a gland at the base of your brain that makes TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone). TSH controls how much T4 your thyroid gland makes. If the results from a TSH test aren’t normal, a T4 test can help diagnose whether the problem is with your thyroid or your pituitary gland.
  In certain cases, a T4 test may be done as part of a group of tests called a thyroid panel. A thyroid panel includes a test for TSH as well as other thyroid tests.

• Blood sugar random

  If you have diabetes, paying close attention to your symptoms is very important. Be sure to test immediately if you feel you?re experiencing symptoms of low blood sugar. Random blood glucose readings can help you identify hyperglycemia and decrease the risk for some chronic complications.

  Testing your blood glucose levels at various times throughout the day can help you manage your diabetes and reduce your risk of diabetes complications. The only way you can know what your blood sugar level is to test it on a regular basis. andom glucose testing isn?t a substitute for your normal glucose testing schedule. You should also perform fasting tests and tests after meals, as suggested by your doctor.

  A fasting blood glucose test is usually performed upon waking, before you eat. Testing after meals measures glucose levels around two hours after the start of a meal. Different testing times will yield different results. These are affected by:

  the food you?ve eaten
  stress
  medications you?re taking
  any exercise you?ve done
  For some people, it?s important to test every day. This helps you get a sense of your overall blood sugar control and can help you make treatment decisions. Testing is the best way to learn how your blood sugar is affected by your lifestyle, medications, or both.

• Proteins Total

  A total protein test measures the amount of protein in your blood.

  Proteins are important for the health and growth of the body’s cells and tissues.

  The test can help diagnose a number of health conditions, including:

  kidney disease
  liver disease
  malnutrition ? a serious condition that occurs when a person’s diet doesn’t contain enough nutrients to meet their body’s needs
  If your total protein level is low, you may have a liver or kidney problem, or it may be that protein isn’t being digested or absorbed properly.

  A high total protein level could indicate dehydration or a certain type of cancer, such as multiple myeloma, that causes protein to accumulate abnormally.

  If the result of a total protein test is abnormal, further tests will be needed to identify which proteins are too high or too low. This will enable an accurate diagnosis to be made.

• Dengue NS1 Antigen

  NS1 tests detect the non-structural protein NS1 of dengue virus. This protein is secreted into the blood during dengue infection.
  NS1 tests have been developed for use in serum. Most of these tests use synthetically labeled antibodies to detect dengue NS1 protein.
  How should it be used and at what time during infection?
  NS1 is detectable during the acute phase of dengue virus infections. NS1 tests can be as sensitive as molecular tests during the first 0-7 days of symptoms. After day 7, NS1 tests are not recommended.
  A positive NS1 test result is indicative of a dengue infection but does not provide serotype information. Knowing the serotype of the infecting virus is not necessary for patient care; however, if serotype information is needed for surveillance purposes, the sample should be tested by NAT.
  Though studies show that NS1 can be found in whole blood or plasma, most NS1 tests have been developed and evaluated in serum samples. While combined testing with a NS1 and IgM antibody test can usually provide a diagnostic result during the first 1-7 days of illness, a second, convalescent phase specimen should be obtained and tested for IgM when both antigen and antibody tests are negative.

• Hemoglobin

  A hemoglobin test measures the amount of hemoglobin in your blood. Hemoglobin is a protein in your red blood cells that carries oxygen to your body’s organs and tissues and transports carbon dioxide from your organs and tissues back to your lungs.

  If a hemoglobin test reveals that your hemoglobin level is lower than normal, it means you have a low red blood cell count (anemia). Anemia can have many different causes, including vitamin deficiencies, bleeding and chronic diseases.

  If a hemoglobin test shows a higher than normal level, there are several potential causes ? the blood disorder polycythemia vera, living at a high altitude, smoking and dehydration.

• Renal (Kidney) Function Tests,Mini Urine Rt, Creatinine, Uric Acid, Bun, Proteins, Electrolytes

  The kidneys play a vital role in the excretion of waste products and toxins such as urea, creatinine and uric acid, regulation of extracellular fluid volume, serum osmolality and electrolyte concentrations, as well as the production of hormones like erythropoietin and 1,25 dihydroxy vitamin D and renin. The functional unit of the kidney is the nephron, which consists of the glomerulus, proximal and distal tubules, and collecting duct. Assessment of renal function is important in the management of patients with kidney disease or pathologies affecting renal function. Tests of renal function have utility in identifying the presence of renal disease, monitoring the response of kidneys to treatment, and determining the progression of renal disease. According to the National Institutes of Health, the overall prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is approximately 14%. Worldwide, the most common causes of CKD are hypertension and diabetes

• Vitamin B12 Cyanocobalamin Serum

  itamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin and plays a vital role in the normal functioning of the brain & nervous system, and blood formation. It aids in the metabolism of all human body cells. Vitamin B12 deficiency leads to pernicious anaemia, a condition marked by the production of fewer, but larger RBCs (red blood cells) and a reduced ability to transport oxygen. Vitamin B12 can also be produced through bacterial fermentation-synthesis.

  What Is Vitamin B12 Test?
  Vitamin B12 is an essential vitamin required for many bodily functions. A deficiency of excessive amount of the vitamin in the blood can hamper the overall functioning of the body. Hence it is important that regular investigation of the vitamin levels in the blood is carried out. A Vitamin B12 test helps in screening the vitamin levels in the blood. The test basically measures the concentration on vitamin B12 and folate in the serum that is the liquid portion of the blood. The word cyanocobalamin finds a reference concerning vitamin B12. Now, what is cyanocobalamin? It is nothing but the man-made form of vitamin or to be precise is vitamin b12 supplement helpful in treating its low levels in the blood.

• Anti nuclear antibody- ANA

  An ANA test detects antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in your blood. Your immune system normally makes antibodies to help you fight infection. In contrast, antinuclear antibodies often attack your body’s own tissues ? specifically targeting each cell’s nucleus.

  In most cases, a positive ANA test indicates that your immune system has launched a misdirected attack on your own tissue ? in other words, an autoimmune reaction. But some people have positive ANA tests even when they’re healthy.

  Your doctor is likely to order an ANA test for a suspected autoimmune disease such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis or scleroderma

• HDL cholestrol

  The purpose of HDL cholesterol testing is to assess your cardiovascular health, including your risk for heart disease. HDL cholesterol is considered to be a good type of cholesterol that is associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease events.

  Measuring HDL cholesterol and total cholesterol together in the same blood sample allows the doctor to easily calculate the ratio of HDL cholesterol to non-HDL cholesterol. This is important for assessing your cardiovascular health and allows the doctor to understand the relative amounts of good and bad cholesterols.

  Testing of HDL cholesterol can play a role in screening, monitoring, and diagnosing problems that affect your heart, blood vessels, and blood circulation.

  Screening
  Screening is looking for health problems before any symptoms have occurred. The goal of cardiovascular screening is to better address problems by finding them at an earlier stage.

• Protein electrophoresis

  Protein electrophoresis is a test that measures specific proteins in the blood. The test separates proteins in the blood based on their electrical charge. The protein electrophoresis test is often used to find abnormal substances called M proteins. The presence of M proteins can be a sign of a type of cancer called myeloma, or multiple myeloma. Myeloma affects white blood cells called plasma cells in the bone marrow. Protein electrophoresis also tests for other proteins and antibodies (immunoglobulins).

  The protein electrophoresis test is also used to diagnose other conditions affecting the plasma cells. These include Waldenstr?m macroglobulinemia, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), and primary amyloidosis.

  Protein electrophoresis can also be used to help diagnose:

  Thyroid problems

  Diabetes

  Anemia

  Liver diseases

  Poor nutrition or inability to absorb nutrients

  Certain autoimmune diseases

  Why do I need this test?
  You may need this test if your healthcare provider believes that you have a condition affecting your plasma cells. These conditions may cause the following symptoms:

  Unexplained weight loss

  Bone pain

  Severe tiredness (fatigue)

• HSCRP

  The level of C-reactive protein (CRP) increases when there’s inflammation in your body. A simple blood test can be done to check your C-reactive protein level.

  A high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) test is more sensitive than a standard CRP test. That means the high-sensitivity test can detect slight increases within the normal range of standard CRP levels. The hs-CRP test can be used to determine your risk of developing coronary artery disease, a condition in which the arteries of your heart are narrowed. Coronary artery disease can lead to a heart attack.

  Why it’s done
  Your doctor might order a CRP test to:

  Check for inflammation due to an infection
  Help diagnose a chronic inflammatory disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus
  Determine your risk of heart disease
  Evaluate your risk of a second heart attack

• Folic Acid

  This test is done to check for folic acid deficiency.

  Folic acid helps form red blood cells and produce DNA that stores genetic codes. Taking the right amount of folic acid before and during pregnancy helps prevent neural tube defects, such as spina bifida.

  Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should take at least 600 micrograms (mcg) of folic acid every day. Some women may need to take more if they have a history of neural tube defects in earlier pregnancies. Ask your provider how much you need.

  Normal Results
  The normal range is 2.7 to 17.0 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) or 6.12 to 38.52 nanomoles per liter (nmol/L).

  Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different labs. Talk to your provider about the meaning of your test results.

  The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some labs use different measurements or may test different specimens.

  What Abnormal Results Mean
  Lower-than-normal folic acid levels may indicate:

  Poor diet
  Malabsorption syndrome (for example, celiac sprue)
  Malnutrition
  The test may also be done in cases of:

  Anemia due to folate deficiency
  Megaloblastic anemia

• Lipase

  A lipase test measures the level of a protein called lipase in your blood.

  Lipase helps your body absorb fats. It?s released by the pancreas, a long, flat gland between your stomach and spine.

  When your pancreas is inflamed or injured, it releases more lipase than usual. Your doctor may want to find out the level of this protein in your blood to find how your pancreas is doing.

  A lipase test may also be referred to as a serum lipase or LPS.

  What Conditions Can This Test Find?
  A doctor will order a lipase test if they suspect that you may have acute pancreatitis — an inflammation of the pancreas that causes abdominal pain.

  The following symptoms can be a sign of pancreas inflammation:

  Severe abdominal or back pain
  Fever
  Loss of appetite
  Nausea
  The test may also be used to monitor your pancreas if you?ve already been diagnosed with acute (sudden, severe) or chronic (ongoing) pancreatitis. It can find out whether lipase levels are increasing or decreasing. It can also be used to find out whether a treatment is working well.

• Calcium

  What is a Calcium Blood Test?
  A calcium blood test measures the amount of calcium in your blood. If there is too much or too little calcium in the blood, it may be a sign of a wide range of medical conditions, such as bone disease, thyroid disease, parathyroid disorders, kidney disease, and other conditions.

  Calcium is one of the most important minerals in your body. About 1% of the calcium in your body is in your blood. The rest is stored in your bones and teeth. Having the right amount of calcium in your blood is necessary for your nerves, muscles, and heart to work properly. It also helps blood vessels move blood throughout your body and helps release hormones that affect many body functions.

• IgM

  What Is a Blood Test?
  A blood test is when a blood sample is tested in a lab. Doctors order blood tests to check things such as the levels of glucose, hemoglobin, or white blood cells. This can help them find problems like a disease or medical condition. Sometimes, blood tests can help them see how well an organ (such as the liver or kidneys) is working.

  What Is an Immunoglobulin Test?
  An immunoglobulin (im-yeh-no-GLOB-yeh-len) test measures the level of types of antibodies in the blood. The immune system makes antibodies to protect the body from bacteria, viruses, and allergens.

  The body makes different antibodies, or immunoglobulins, to fight different things. For example, the antibody for chickenpox isn’t the same as the antibody for mononucleosis. Sometimes, the body may even mistakenly make antibodies against itself, treating healthy organs and tissues like foreign invaders. This is called an autoimmune disease.

  The types of antibodies are:

  Immunoglobulin A (IgA): It’s found in the linings of the respiratory tract and digestive system, as well as in saliva (spit), tears, and breast milk.
  Immunoglobulin G (IgG): This is the most common antibody. It’s in blood and other body fluids, and protects against bacterial and viral infections. IgG can take time to form after an infection or immunization.
  Immunoglobulin M (IgM): Found mainly in blood and lymph fluid, this is the first antibody the body makes when it fights a new infection.
  Immunoglobulin E (IgE): Normally found in small amounts in the blood. There may be higher amounts when the body overreacts to allergens or is fighting an infection from a parasite.
  Immunoglobulin D (IgD): This is the least understood antibody, with only small amounts in the blood.
  Why Are Immunoglobulin Tests Done?
  Doctors may check immunoglobulin levels to see if a person has an infection or is protected from getting an infection (is immune to it). Doctors also use immunoglobulin tests to help diagnose immunodeficiencies (when the immune system isn’t working as it should). Doctors may suspect an immunodeficiency in a child who gets a lot of infections or unusual infections.

  The tests might be done as part of an evaluation for allergies or autoimmune conditions such as juvenile idiopathic arthritis, lupus, and celiac disease.

  How Should We Prepare for an Immunoglobulin Test?
  Kids can eat and drink normally unless also getting other tests that require fasting beforehand. Tell your doctor about any medicines your child takes because some drugs might affect the test results.

  Wearing a T-shirt or short-sleeved shirt for the test can make things easier for your child, and you also can bring along a toy or book as a distraction.

  How Is an Immunoglobulin Test Done?
  Most blood tests take a small amount of blood from a vein. To do that, a health professional will:

  Clean the skin.
  Put an elastic band (tourniquet) above the area to get the veins to swell with blood.
  Insert a needle into a vein (usually in the arm inside of the elbow or on the back of the hand).
  Pull the blood sample into a vial or syringe.
  Take off the elastic band and remove the needle from the vein.
  Sometimes immunoglobulin tests can be done with a “fingerstick” test. The health professional will clean your child’s finger, then prick the tip of it with a tiny needle (or lancet) to collect the blood.

  In babies, blood draws are sometimes done as a “heel stick collection.” After cleaning the area, the health professional will prick your baby’s heel with a tiny needle (or lancet) to collect a small sample of blood.

  Collecting a sample of blood is only temporarily uncomfortable and can feel like a quick pinprick.

• SGPT (ALT)

  An ALT test measures the level of alanine aminotransferase, also called ALT or SGPT. ALT is one of the enzymes that help the liver convert food into energy. High levels of these enzymes can be a sign that the liver is injured or irritated, and the enzymes are leaking out of the liver cells.

  Why Are ALT Tests Done?
  An ALT test may be done if a child has signs of a possible problem with the liver, such as jaundice (yellowish skin or eyes), dark urine, nausea, vomiting, or belly pain. It also might be done if a child is on medicine that makes high liver enzyme levels more likely.

  How Should We Prepare for an ALT Test?
  Your child may be asked to stop eating and drinking for 8 to 12 hours before the ALT test. Tell your doctor about any medicines your child takes because some drugs might affect the test results.

  Wearing a T-shirt or short-sleeved shirt for the test can make things easier for your child, and you also can bring along a toy or book as a distraction.

  How Is an ALT Test Done?
  Most blood tests take a small amount of blood from a vein. To do that, a health professional will:

  Why the Test is Performed
  In women, FSH helps manage the menstrual cycle and stimulates the ovaries to produce eggs. The test is used to help diagnose or evaluate:

  Menopause
  Women who have polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian cysts
  Abnormal vaginal or menstrual bleeding
  Problems becoming pregnant, or infertility
  In men, FSH stimulates production of sperm. The test is used to help diagnose or evaluate:

  Problems becoming pregnant, or infertility
  Men who do not have testicles or whose testicles are underdeveloped
  In children, FSH is involved with the development of sexual features. The test is ordered for children:

  Who develop sexual features at a very young age
  Who are delayed in starting puberty
  Normal Results
  Normal FSH levels will differ, depending on a person’s age and sex.

  Male:

  Before puberty: 0 to 5.0 mIU/mL (0 to 5.0 IU/L)
  During puberty: 0.3 to 10.0 mIU/mL (0.3 to 10.0 IU/L)
  Adult: 1.5 to 12.4 mIU/mL (1.5 to 12.4 IU/L)
  Female:

  Before puberty: 0 to 4.0 mIU/mL (0 to 4.0 IU/L)
  During puberty: 0.3 to 10.0 mIU/mL (0.3 to 10.0 IU/L)
  Women who are still menstruating: 4.7 to 21.5 mIU/mL (4.5 to 21.5 IU/L)
  After menopause: 25.8 to 134.8 mIU/mL (25.8 to 134.8 IU/L)
  Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test result.

  What Abnormal Results Mean
  High FSH levels in women may be present:

  During or after menopause, including premature menopause
  When receiving hormone therapy
  Due to certain types of tumor in the pituitary gland
  Due to Turner syndrome
  Low FSH levels in women may be present due to:

  Being very underweight or having had recent rapid weight loss
  Not producing eggs (not ovulating)
  Parts of the brain (the pituitary gland or hypothalamus) not producing normal amounts of some or all of its hormones
  Pregnancy
  High FSH levels in men may mean the testicles are not functioning correctly due to:

  Advancing age (male menopause)
  Damage to testicles caused by alcohol abuse, chemotherapy, or radiation
  Problems with genes, such as Klinefelter syndrome
  Treatment with hormones
  Certain tumors in the pituitary gland
  Low FSH levels in men may mean parts of the brain (the pituitary gland or hypothalamus) do not produce normal amounts of some or all of its hormones.

  High FSH levels in boys or girls may mean that puberty is about to start.

  Risks
  There is little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one person to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.

  Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight, but may include:

  Excessive bleeding
  Fainting or feeling lightheaded
  Multiple punctures to locate veins
  Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
  Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)
