Complete Haemogram (CBC+ESR)

A complete haemogram evaluates your overall health and detects a wide range of infections and potential diseases. It
counts your Red Blood Cells, which carry oxygen, White Blood Cells, which fight off diseases, and Platelets, which help
in clotting when you hurt yourself. Additionally, it includes peripheral smear examination which helps in classifying type
of anemias and rule out/ diagnose hematological malignancies (blood cancers). ESR aids in detection of certain chronic
infections and cancers.
Absolute Eosinophil Count

An absolute Eosinophil count is a blood test that measures the number of white blood cells called Eosinophils. Eosinophils
become active in allergic diseases, parasitic infections, and other medical conditions.

Absolute Neutrophil Count

Absolute Neutrophil count (ANC) is a measure of the number of Neutrophil granulocytes present in the blood. Neutrophils
are a type of white blood cell that fights against infection.

Basophils

Basophils are a type of white blood cells that are active in the inflammatory response. Whether you scrape yourself during
a fall or develop an infection from a wound, you can count on your basophils help to get you healthy again.

Eosinophils

An Eosinophil is a type of WBC. They are stored in tissues throughout the body, surviving for up to several weeks. They
destroy invading germs like viruses, bacteria or parasites. They also have a role in the inflammatory response, especially if
an allergy is involved.

Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)

This test helps to determine whether you are experiencing inflammation. The speed at which the RBCs fall to the bottom
of the tube is measured. Inflammation can cause your RBCs to clump together and fall more quickly.

Haematocrit

Blood consists of RBCs, WBCs and platelets suspended in a fluid called plasma. Haematocrit is a ratio of the volume of
RBCs to the volume of all these components together, called whole blood. This helps in checking for conditions like
anaemia.

Haemoglobin

Haemoglobin is the iron-containing protein found in all Red Blood Cells (RBCs) that gives the cells their characteristic red
color. Haemoglobin enables RBCs to bind to oxygen in the lungs and carry it throughout the body. Deficiency (anaemia)
or excess (polycythemia) of haemoglobin both have adverse effect on the body.
Lymphocytes

Lymphocytes are a subset of WBCs which are active against invading viral cells. Elevated levels may indicate an active
viral infections such as measles, rubella, chickenpox, or infectious mononucleosis.

Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH)

MCH level is the average amount of haemoglobin that is in each Red Blood Cell. Haemoglobin is the protein molecule
that allows red blood cells to carry oxygen to tissues within your body.

Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)

MCHC level is the average concentration of haemoglobin based on the volume of Red Blood Cells. This tells you whether
those cells pack in more or less haemoglobin than usual.

Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV)

An MCV blood test measures the average size of your red blood cells. If your red blood cells are too small or too large, it
could be a sign of a blood disorder such as anemia, a vitamin deficiency, or other medical condition.

Mean Platelet Volume

An MPV test measures the average size of your platelets. Platelets are small blood cells that play an essential role in blood
clotting. In some cases, platelet abnormalities can be a sign of a bleeding disorder or other health problem.

Monocytes

Monocytes are a type of WBC which fight against germs and inflammation. They are the biggest type of WBCs in the
immune system

Neutrophils

Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell. They are the most plentiful type, making up 55 to 70 percent of your WBCs.
They are important because, unlike other WBCs, they can move freely through veins and into the tissues of your body to
immediately attack all antigens.

Platelet Count

Platelets, also called thrombocytes, are tiny fragments of cells that are essential for normal blood clotting, to stop bleeding.

Platelet Distribution Width

This test measures the amount of variation in Platelet size which can be a sign of active Platelet release.

Red Cell Disctribution Width

This test measures the amount of red blood cell variation in volume and size. Anything outside of the normal range in red
blood cell width or volume indicates a possible problem with bodily function that in turn may affect oxygen getting to
various parts of your body.
Total Leucocytes Count (WBC)

White Blood Cells, also called leukocytes, are an important part of the immune system. These help fight infections by
attacking bacteria, viruses and germs that invade the body. Having a higher or lower number of WBCs than normal may
be an indication of an underlying condition.

Absolute Basophils Count

Basophils are white blood cells from the bone marrow that aid in keeping the immune system functioning correctly.
Basophil levels that are too high or too low may be a sign of an underlying condition

Absolute Lymphocyte Count

Absolute lymphocyte count test measures the level of lymphocyte (white blood cell) in the blood. Abnormal levels of
lymphocytes may indicate presence of an infection or other significant illness which might requires clinical interventions

Absolute Monocyte Count

Monocytes are a type of white blood cells that move out of the circulating blood and into the tissues. Monocytes are
responsible for attacking and breaking down germs and bacteria that enter the body.

RDW-CV

A red cell distribution width (RDW) test is a measurement of the range in the volume and size of your red blood cells also
known as erythrocytes. This test helps diagnose conditions in which your red blood cells cannot carry enough oxygen to
the rest of your body.

Mentzer Index 9MCV/RCC

Procalcitonin (PCT)

This test is useful in helping to detect sepsis and severe bacterial infections in the early stages and to distinguish between a
bacterial infection and other non-bacterial causes of signs and symptoms

Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c)

This test evaluates the average amount of glucose in the blood over the last 2 to 3 months. It monitors blood
glucose levels for already diagnosed diabetics so that the risk of complications related to it can be assessed and
prevented. It can also be used to assess predisposition to diabetes.
HbA1c

This test evaluates the average amount of glucose in the blood over the last 2 to 3 months. It monitors blood
glucose levels for already diagnosed diabetics so that the risk of complications related to it can be assessed and
prevented. It can also be used to assess predisposition to diabetes.
Average Blood Glucose

This is an estimated average of your blood sugar (glucose) levels over a period of 2 to 3 months. It is based on
your A1C blood test results. This test helps you predict your blood sugar levels over a time and can also help
you confirm your self test readings.

Kidney Function Test (KFT)


Your kidneys filter out waste materials from the blood and control the levels of water and minerals in the body.
In addition, they are critical to the production of Vitamin D, RBCs and hormones that regulate your blood
pressure.
Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)

BUN is a measure of Urea and Nitrogen in the blood, as part of Kidney function tests. Urea nitrogen is a waste
product thats created in the Liver when the body breaks down proteins.

BUN/ Creatinine Ratio

This test tracks functions of the Kidney, the main filterer of blood. It is done to evaluate the health of Kidneys.

Calcium

A blood calcium test is recommended to screen for, diagnose, and monitor a range of conditions relating to the
bones, heart, nerves, muscles, Kidneys, thyroid and teeth.

Chloride

Helps in water and electrolyte balance. It also helps maintain proper blood volume, blood pressure and pH of
body fluids.

Creatinine

Creatinine is a waste product that forms when creatine breaks down and is then filtered out by the Kidneys
through urine. This test is done to evaluate the health of Kidneys. It can be done as a part of basic metabolic
panel or when you have signs of Kidney disease like swelling of face, ankle, lower back pain, changes in urine
output etc.

Phosphorus, Serum

This test determines phosphorus levels in the body and aids in the diagnosis of conditions caused by
abnormally high or low levels of phosphorus

Sodium

Helps keep the electrolyte balance of the body and is also important in how nerves and muscles work.
Uric Acid

Uric acid is a chemical produced when your body breaks down food and cells. Our Kidneys filter out most of
uric acid through urine. This test is usually done when you have joint pain usually in the toes or other
symptoms suggestive of a disease called as gout.

Urea

Urea is a waste product formed in your liver when protein is broken down. Kidneys filter it out of the blood
and release into the urine. Being a continuous process, there is always a small but stable amount of urea in the
blood. A high urea level may indicate an issue with the kidneys.

Urea/Creatinine Ratio

Lipid profile
Lipids aid in the production of hormones, Vitamin D, and substances that help you digest foods. This test
measures the cholesterol and triglycerides (a type of fat) in your body. High cholesterol levels are associated
with an increased risk of heart disease and stroke.
Cholesterol - Total

A complete cholesterol test measures four types of lipids or fats in your blood: Low-density lipoprotein (LDL),
High-density lipoprotein (HDL), total cholestrol and triglycerides. This test screens your risk of developing
Heart disease.

HDL Cholesterol

A HDL test measures the level of good cholesterol in your blood. A higher level of blood HDL-C is usually
associated with a lower risk of developing plaques, lowering the risk of Heart attack or stroke.

LDL Cholesterol

A LDL cholestrol test measures the level of bad cholesterol in your blood. High levels of LDL results in a
build-up of cholesterol in your arteries, which can lead to Heart attacks and strokes.

LDL/HDL Ratio

This measures the ratio of bad cholestrol to good cholestrol in the body. A higher ratio indicates a higher risk
of cardiovascular disease.

Non-HDL Cholesterol

This refers to your total cholesterol value minus your HDL cholesterol. The Non-HDL cholestrol test gives a
better assessment of the risk of Heart disease than the LDL cholestrol test.
TC/HDL Cholesterol Ratio

This measures the cholesterol ratio of the body, obtained by dividing total cholesterol by HDL good
cholesterol. A higher ratio indicates a higher risk of cardiovascular disease.

Triglycerides

Triglycerides are a type of fat found in the blood. This test can help determine the potential risk of Heart
disease. High levels of triglycerides may raise the risk of cardiovascular risk.

VLDL Cholesterol

VLDL is a type of bad cholesterol that results in cholesterol build up on the walls of arteries. High levels of
VLDL can contribute to development of Heart disease.

HDL/LDL Ratio

This measures the ratio of good cholesterol to bad cholesterol in the body.

Liver Function Test (LFT)


The liver helps your body get rid of harmful toxins. Poor liver health can lead to chronic disease, unwanted
weight gain and loss of energy. Here, we test the levels of various enzymes and proteins in your blood.
Alanine Aminotransferase (SGPT)

ALT is an enzyme found mostly in the cells of the Liver and Kidney. In healthy individuals, ALT levels in the
blood are low. When the Liver is damaged, excess ALT is released into the blood, which helps in early
detection of Liver damage.

Albumin

Albumin is a type of protein produced in Liver. It is a carrier protein for many small molecules/ ions and keeps
fluid from leaking out of your blood vessels.

Albumin/Globulin Ratio

The A/G ratio is calculated from measured Total Protein, Albumin and calculated Globulin (Total Protein -
Albumin). Because disease states affect the relative amounts of Albumin and Globulin, the A/G ratio may
provide a clue as to the cause of the change in Protein levels.

Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)


ALP is an enzyme found in several tissues in the body, majorly in bone and Liver. Elevated levels of ALP in
the blood indicate Liver damage, blockage of the bile ducts or a bone disease.
Aspartate Aminotransferase (SGOT)

AST is an enzyme found in cells throughout the body but mostly in the Heart and Liver. In healthy individuals,
levels of AST in the blood are low. When Liver or muscle cells are injured, they release AST into the blood
which helps in detecting Liver damage.

Bilirubin Direct

Bilirubin attached by the Liver to the glucose-derived acid, glucuronic acid, is called direct, or conjugated,
Bilirubin.

Bilirubin Indirect

Bilirubin not attached to glucuronic acid is called indirect, or unconjugated, Bilirubin.

Bilirubin Total

Bilirubin is a substance made when our body breaks down old red blood cells. It is a waste product that is
cleaned out of the body through stool and urine. A high result on the Bilirubin test indicates that the Liver isn’t
functioning properly.

Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT)

GGT is an enzyme found in many organs in the body, majorly in the Liver. It functions as a transport molecule
and helps the Liver metabolize drugs and other toxins. GGT is elevated in the blood in most diseases that cause
damage to the Liver or bile ducts.

Globulin

Globulin is a type of protein produced in Liver. It plays an important role in your immune system.

Protein Total

Proteins are necessary for your bodys growth, development, and health. This test measures the total amount of
protein in your blood, mainly Albumin and Globulin, which are produced by the Liver. Deficiency may result
in unexpected weight loss, fatigue or the symptoms of a Kidney or Liver disease.

SGOT/SGPT Ratio

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)


This test is done to screen for and diagnose thyroid disorders. It is done if you have symptoms of
hyperthyroidism like weight loss, nervousness, tremors or hypothyroidism like weight gain, constipation,
fatigue, cold intolerance.
