A complete cholesterol test called a lipid profile — is a blood test that can measure the amount of cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood and can identify certain genetic diseases, approximate risks for cardiovascular disease, and certain forms of pancreatitis. The test measures the amount of cholesterol in your blood. This test is done to screen the risk of developing heart disease and to check the efficacy of the ongoing lipid-lowering treatment. Your total cholesterol level reflects your risk for heart disease. The triglycerides test is used to look for triglycerides, a type of fat (lipid) found in the blood. This test helps to assess the risks of developing blockages in the heart and brain. Increased levels of triglycerides may indicate major heart, kidney, or brain diseases.

A Liver Function Test Profile or LFT helps in the diagnosis of liver-related conditions including liver cirrhosis, hepatitis, and liver damage. It is also advised for patients undergoing treatment for liver disorders, to monitor an existing liver disease and to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment being given for the same. Also, the test can be done to monitor the liver function in case you are taking some medicines, that are known to hurt the liver. The tests included in LFT are Protein Total, Serum, Albumin/Globulin Ratio, Globulin, Aspartate Aminotransferase, Alkaline Phosphatase; Gamma Glutamyl Transferase, Bilirubin (Total, Direct and Indirect).

The Kidney Function Test is done in case of diagnosis of any disease affecting the kidneys or to screen people at risk for the development of any kidney diseases. As well as to monitor the treatment efficacy of kidney diseases. The kidney Function Test (KFT) includes a group of blood tests to determine how well the kidneys are working. It is advised in case of symptoms suggestive of kidney problems such as puffiness around the eyes, bloody or foamy urine, frequent urge to urinate, etc.

You can consider the tests if you have signs or symptoms of Iron deficiency / Anaemia like pallor, fatigue, weakness, headaches, Or If your CBC shows that your haemoglobin and haematocrit are low which usually suggests iron deficiency anaemia. Or else If you have signs or symptoms of increased accumulation of iron in the body like joint pain, abdominal pain, fatigue, and loss of body hair. The haemoglobin (Hb) test measures the amount of haemoglobin in the blood. This test is often done as part of a complete blood count (CBC) to check for anaemia, a condition in which your body has fewer red blood cells than normal. Abnormally high or low Hb can cause symptoms like exhaustion and shortness of breath. These tests are useful as a follow-up test when abnormal results are found in CBC or when your doctor is suspecting either deficiency of iron or excess iron. These tests are useful to monitor the progress of iron deficiency/ iron excess treatment.

Thyroid Profile Total test is done to diagnose any suspected thyroid disease - Hypothyroidism or Hyperthyroidism or to monitor treatment in patients with thyroid diseases. Thyroid Profile Total is a group of tests that are done together to detect or diagnose thyroid diseases. It measures the levels of the following three hormones in the blood: Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), Thyroxine (T4) – Total, and Triiodothyronine (T3) - Total.

The Vitamin profile test profile is designed to measure the level of Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, and folic acid in the body and diagnose their deficiency.

The Vitamin B12 test measures the levels of Vitamin B12 in blood. Vitamin B12 is needed for brain health, blood cell production, and proper nerve functioning. People who are obese or eat a lot of meat also tend to have higher-than-normal levels of this vitamin and are more prone to liver disease and diabetes. Vitamin D (25-OH) test measures the level of Vitamin D (25-OH) in the blood which is a useful indicator of many bones related problems.
