IgE
Allergy blood tests are used to help find out if you have an allergy. There are two general types of allergy blood tests:
A total IgE test is used to measure the total amount of IgE antibodies in your blood.
A specific IgE test measures how much IgE your body makes in response to a single allergen. A separate test is done for each allergen that may be causing your allergies.
Why do I need an allergy blood test?
Your health care provider may order allergy testing if you have symptoms of an allergy. These include:Stuffy or runny nose
Sneezing
Itchy, watery eyes
Hives (itchy raised red patches on the skin)
Diarrhea
Vomiting
Shortness of breath
Coughing
Wheezing₹585.00Add to cart -

IGF BP3
Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) is the main carrier of somatomedin C (also called insulin-like growth factor-1, or IGF-1) in the body. Blood levels of both these proteins are controlled by human growth hormone (hGH), a hormone that’s produced by the pituitary gland, a pea-sized gland in the brain that works with the endocrine system. The pituitary gland regulates growth and the function of other glands.
But IGFBP-3 is more than just a transporter. It also helps extend the life of somatomedin C in the blood and helps control its effects on body tissues.
Levels of IGFBP-3 are highest during childhood and puberty, then they decrease during adulthood. Levels also may be affected by sexual maturation and nutritional status

IGF-1
This test measures the amount of IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1) in your blood. IGF-1 is a hormone that manages the effects of growth hormone (GH) in your body. Together, IGF-1 and GH promote normal growth of bones and tissues. GH levels in the blood fluctuate throughout the day depending on your diet and activity levels. But IGF-1 levels remain stable. So, an IGF-1 test is a useful way to find out if your body is making a normal amount of GH.

IgG
This test measures the amount of immunoglobulins, also known as antibodies, in your blood. Antibodies are proteins made by the immune system to fight disease-causing substances, like viruses and bacteria. Your body makes different types of immunoglobulins to fight different types of these substances.
An immunoglobulins test usually measures three specific types of immunoglobulins. They are called igG, igM, and IgA. If your levels of igG, igM, or IgA are too low or too high, it may be a sign of a serious health problem.

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.

Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH)
Lactate dehydrogenase is an enzyme that the body uses during the process of turning sugar into energy for your cells to use.
LDH is found in many of the body’s tissues and organs, including the muscles, liver, heart, pancreas, kidneys, brain and blood cells.
The LDH test is mainly used to help identify the location and severity of tissue damage in the body.
It’s also sometimes used to monitor how far certain conditions have progressed.

LH
This test measures the level of luteinizing hormone (LH) in your blood. LH is made by your pituitary gland, a small gland located underneath the brain. LH plays an important role in sexual development and functioning.
In women, LH helps control the menstrual cycle. It also triggers the release of an egg from the ovary. This is known as ovulation. LH levels quickly rise just before ovulation.
In men, LH causes the testicles to make testosterone, which is important for producing sperm. Normally, LH levels in men do not change very much.
In children, LH levels are usually low in early childhood, and begin to rise a couple of years before the start of puberty. In girls, LH helps signal the ovaries to make estrogen. In boys, it helps signal the testes to make testosterone. f you are a woman that has not gone through menopause, your provider may want to schedule your test at a specific time during your menstrual cycle.₹292.00Add to cart -
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.₹518.00Add to cart -
Lipid Profile
A complete cholesterol test ? also called a lipid panel or lipid profile ? is a blood test that can measure the amount of cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood.
A cholesterol test can help determine your risk of the buildup of fatty deposits (plaques) in your arteries that can lead to narrowed or blocked arteries throughout your body (atherosclerosis).
A cholesterol test is an important tool. High cholesterol levels often are a significant risk factor for coronary artery disease.

Lithium
Why Get Tested?
To measure lithium levels in the blood in order to determine the therapeutic level when just starting lithium medication; to monitor levels to ensure they are maintained in the therapeutic range; and sometimes to determine lithium toxicityWhen To Get Tested?
When beginning treatment with lithium as the dose is adjusted to achieve therapeutic blood levels; at regular intervals to monitor lithium levels; as needed to detect sub-therapeutic levels or high (toxic) levels₹343.00Add to cart -
Liver Function Test
Liver function tests are blood tests used to help diagnose and monitor liver disease or damage. The tests measure the levels of certain enzymes and proteins in your blood.
Some of these tests measure how well the liver is performing its normal functions of producing protein and clearing bilirubin, a blood waste product. Other liver function tests measure enzymes that liver cells release in response to damage or disease.
Abnormal liver function test results don’t always indicate liver disease. Your doctor will explain your results and what they mean.

Liver Function Test with GGT
A gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) test measures the amount of GGT in the blood. GGT is an enzyme found throughout the body, but it is mostly found in the liver. When the liver is damaged, GGT may leak into the bloodstream. High levels of GGT in the blood may be a sign of liver disease or damage to the bile ducts. Bile ducts are tubes that carry bile in and out of the liver. Bile is a fluid made by the liver. It is important for digestion.
A GGT test can’t diagnose the specific cause of liver disease. So it is usually done along with or after other liver function tests, most often an alkaline phosphatase (ALP) test. ALP is another type of liver enzyme. It’s often used to help diagnose bone disorders as well as liver disease.

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.₹1,000.00Add to cart
