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.

Smooth Muscle Antibody (ASMA)
An anti-smooth muscle antibody (ASMA) test is a blood test that detects autoantibodies that attack the smooth muscle cells in the body, often in the liver. Autoantibodies are antibodies made by your body that attack your own body cells.
What Is an ASMA?
ASMAs were first discovered in 1965 in people with chronic active hepatitis.Usually, your immune system will attack foreign bodies like a parasite or a virus with the antibodies made for defending your body. Autoantibodies like ASMAs think that your own cells and tissues are foreign bodies and tell your immune system to kill them.
ASMAs ? also known as smooth muscle antibodies ? attack smooth muscle tissues throughout certain parts of the body. The ASMA test searches for these antibodies in the blood

Sodium, Serum
What is a Sodium Blood Test?
A sodium blood test measures the amount of sodium in your blood. Sodium is a type of electrolyte. Electrolytes are electrically charged minerals. They help control the amount of fluid and the balance of acids and bases (pH balance) in your body. Sodium also helps your nerves and muscles work properly.You get most of the sodium you need in your diet. If you take in too much, your kidneys get rid of the extra sodium in your urine. Normally, your body keeps your sodium levels in a very narrow range. If your sodium blood levels are too high or too low, it may mean that you have a kidney problem, dehydration, or another type of medical condition. A sodium blood test is a routine test that may be used to check your general health. It may be used to help find and monitor conditions that affect the balance of fluids, electrolytes, and acidity in your body.
The test is often done as part of a group of tests called an electrolyte panel. It may also be part of two other groups of tests called a basic metabolic panel (BMP) and a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) our provider will let you know exactly how to prepare for a sodium blood test. On the day of the test, you may need to skip or delay certain medicines. Be sure to tell your provider about any medicines, herbs, or supplements that you take. But don’t stop any medicines without talking with your provider first.
You may also need to fast (not eat or drink) for several hours before the test. Ask your provider if you have any questions.

Spirometry
Spirometry is a type of pulmonary function test, or a lung function test, that measures the flow of air through your lungs. It also estimates the amount of air in your lungs. The test is performed using a machine called a spirometer. It measures the amount of air you breathe and how fast you can blow air out of your lungs. Spirometry is a safe and commonly ordered test.Spirometry tests determine if lungs are functioning at expected levels. It helps to diagnose lung and airway diseases. For example, the test can detect chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) before symptoms develop. The test can also check for pulmonary fibrosis, or scarring of the lung tissue.

Stool analysis
A stool test is also known as stool culture, faecal sample test or stool sample test. The test helps in diagnosing medical conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease, gastric or colon cancer, anal fissures, haemorrhoids, as well as to detect the presence of blood in your stool sample.
Stool tests helps to determine whether a bacteria or any other microorganism has infected the intestines or not. But not all microorganisms in the gut are harmful- some are necessary for normal digestion. If harmful bacteria or parasites infect your intestines, they cause bloody diarrhoea and testing the stool may help find the cause of this condition.

T3
What is a triiodothyronine (T3) test?
This test measures the level of triiodothyronine (T3) in your blood. T3 is one of two major hormones made by your thyroid, a small, butterfly-shaped gland located near the throat. The other hormone is called thyroxine (T4.) T3 and T4 work together to regulate how your body uses energy. These hormones also play an important role in controlling your weight, body temperature, muscle strength, and nervous system.The T3 hormone comes in two forms:
Bound T3, which attaches to protein
Free T3, which does not attach to anything
A test that measures both bound and free T3 is called a total T3 test. Another test called free T3 just measures free T3. Either test may be used to check T3 levels. If T3 levels are not normal, it can be a sign of thyroid disease. You don’t need any special preparations for a T3 blood test. Your health care provider will let you know if you need to stop taking any medicines before your test. Certain medicines can raise or lower T3 levels.₹194.00Add to cart -
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.₹194.00Add to cart -

Thyroid Profile (T3+T4+TSH)
(TSH) and Ultrasensitive TSH that helps in understanding the functioning of the butterfly-shaped thyroid gland located at the frontal part of your neck. It produces the hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). The thyroid profile test, also known as the thyroid function test, assesses the increase or decrease in the production of hormones by the gland.
This test includes a complete package of T3, T4, TSH test, which are essential hormones that regulate many body functions. These hormones work in a feedback loop and depend on each other for the normal functioning of the gland. For example, thyroid-stimulating hormone produces a suitable amount of thyroxine. This further gives feedback to the brain to reduce the production of the thyroid-stimulating hormone.
The thyroid gland is responsible for most of the body?s processes such as metabolism, energy production and mood. Depending on the activity of the thyroid gland, the disorder could be due to hyperactivity or decreased activity. These disorders are generally categorized as hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, respectively. Hyperthyroidism has symptoms like restlessness, tremors, weight loss, euphoria and anxiety, while hypothyroidism shows symptoms like sudden weight gain, depression and fatigue.
At Apollo 24|7, you can get a complete package of thyroid profile test that includes the T3, T4, TSH tests.

Triglycerides
A triglycerides test is a blood test that measures the amount of a fat in your blood called triglycerides. High triglycerides may increase your risk for a heart attack or stroke. A triglycerides test can help you decide if you need to take action to lower your risk.
Your body uses triglycerides for energy. If you eat more calories than you need, your body turns the extra calories into triglycerides and stores them in your fat cells to use later. When your body needs energy, your cells release triglycerides into your bloodstream to provide fuel for your muscles to work.
If you eat more calories than you burn off, especially calories from carbohydrates, including sugary foods, and fats, you may have high triglyceride levels in your blood. A high blood triglyceride level usually doesn’t cause any symptoms, but over time, it may affect your arteries and increase your risk of heart disease. Extremely high levels of triglycerides also increase the risk of acute pancreatitis in adults and children. our health care provider may order a lipid profile, including a triglycerides test, as part of a regular checkup. If you are being treated for high cholesterol and/or triglycerides, you may also need this test to see how well your treatment is working.
How often you need to have a lipid profile test depends on your age, sex, and your risk of developing heart disease. The general age recommendations for testing blood lipid levels are:
For ages 2 to 19:
In general, start testing between ages nine and 11. Repeat the test every five years.
If there is a family history of high blood cholesterol, heart attack, stroke, or other risks for developing heart disease, test as early as age two.
For ages 20 and older, tests should be done:Every five years for:
Males between ages 20 and 45
Females between ages 20 and 55
Every 1 to 2 years for:
Males age 45 and older
Females age 55 and older
Every year for adults over age 65
You may need to be tested more often if you have a higher risk for heart disease because you:Have a family health history of early heart disease (a parent or sibling with heart disease before age 55 for males, and before age 65 for females)
Smoke
Are overweight or have obesity
Have unhealthy eating habits
Don’t get enough exercise
Have diabetes
Have high blood pressure
Are a male age 45 or older, or a female age 50 or older
Ask your doctor how often you need to have your blood lipid levels tested.What happens during a triglycerides test?
During the test, a health care professional will take a blood sample from a vein in your arm, using a small needle. After the needle is inserted, a small amount of blood will be collected into a test tube or vial. You may feel a little sting when the needle goes in or out. This usually takes less than five minutes.Will I need to do anything to prepare for the test?
You may need to fast (not eat or drink) for 9 to 12 hours before your blood is drawn. Your provider will let you know if you need to fast and if there are any special instructions to follow.₹112.00Add to cart -
TSH
TSH stands for thyroid stimulating hormone. A TSH test is a blood test that measures this hormone. TSH levels that are too high or too low may be a sign of a thyroid problem.
The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the front of your neck. Your thyroid makes hormones that control how your body uses energy. Thyroid hormones affect nearly every organ in your body, including your heart. They help control your weight, body temperature, muscle strength, and even your mood. If you don’t have enough thyroid hormones in your blood, many of your body functions slow down. If you have too much, many body functions speed up.
Your thyroid is controlled by a gland in your brain, called the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland makes thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). TSH tells your thyroid how much thyroid hormone it needs to make.
If the thyroid hormone levels in your blood are too low, your pituitary gland makes larger amounts of TSH to tell your thyroid to work harder. If your thyroid hormone levels are too high, the pituitary gland makes little or no TSH. By measuring TSH levels in your blood, you can find out if your thyroid is making the right level of hormones.
