ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate)it is a blood test that can show if you have inflammation in your body. Inflammation associated with certain conditions like infection, injuries, immune system disorder, blood disorders, cancer disorders. Test used to monitor the conditions/disease. ESR shows a high results in conditions like anemia, Old age, pregnancy, large red cells, kidney disorders, arthritis. ESR value  low in increased WBC counts, small red cells, red cell shape disorders. ESR not affecting malaria, typhoid fever, unruptured ectopic pregnancy, heart attack. Normal ranges in males less than 50 years is 0-15 mm in 1 hour and if more than 50 years 0 to 20 mm in 1 hour. Normal ranges in females if less than 50 years  is 0-20 mm in 1 hour. If more than 50 years in females normal ranges 0-30 mm in 1 hour. In the newborn 0-2 mm in 1 hour. Children’s to puberty it ranges 0-13 mm in 1 hour.

Complete Blood Count (CBC) is a blood test that measures different parts and features of blood which includes Red Blood Cells which carries oxygen, White Blood Cells  which  fight with infection, Platelets which stops bleeding , Hemoglobin protein in right cells, Hematocrit  this measures how much of your blood is made up of red blood cells ,MCV is average size of red cells. CBC helps in diagnosing blood disorders, infection, immune system disorders and other medical conditions

hemoglobin (Hb) hemoglobin test measures the level of hemoglobin in your body. If your hemoglobin levels are abnormal it may be a sign that you are suffering with some disorder. Low hemoglobin levels refers to anemia, symptoms which include weakness, dizziness, cold hands and feet. Hemoglobin low levels is a sign of iron deficiency, thalassemia, liver disease, chronic disorder, cancer. Hemoglobin high levels is a sign of dehydration, high altitudes, lung disease, heart disease. Normal range of hemoglobin in males – 13.0 to 17.0 g/dL. In non-pregnant females it ranges 12.0-15.0 g/dL, in pregnant woman it ranges 11 0.0 -14.0 g/dL and in Children’s it ranges from 11-14.0 g/dL. A newborn it ranges from 13.6-19.6 g/dL

Hematocrit or  Packed Cell Volumeis a blood test that measures how much of your body is made up of red blood cells. Hematocrit levels that are too high or too low can be a sign of blood disorder, dehydration or other medical conditions that affect your body

PC V (packed cell volume ) increased in dehydration, shock, burns, increased red blood cells. PCV decrease in anemia. PCV normal ranges of male 40%-50%, non-pregnant female 38%-45%, pregnant woman 36%-42%, in Childrens 36% to 46%, in newborn 44% to 60%

Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV )it measures the average size of red blood cells, that is too small or too large, it could be a sign of blood disorders such as anemia, lack of Minerals and vitamins or other medical conditions. MCV decreased is a sign of iron deficiency, sudden blood loss, bone marrow failure.M CV increased in Vitamin B12 deficiency, long-term alcoholism, liver disorder, hypothyroidism. MCV normally ranges from 80-100 Femtoliter

TC and DC (Total Count and Differential Count)  The white blood cells count measures  2 components Ie total count and differential count . The differential count measures the% of each type of a white blood cells. Indications for WBC count include infections and inflammatory diseases, blood cancer, infection, bone marrow disorders. Total count decreases is a sign of Vitamin B12 deficiency, bone marrow failure, aplastic anemia, post radiation or cancer treatment. Total count increase in severe sepsis, blood cancer, infections, inflammations, drugs. Total count normal ranges in adults is 4000-11000 per microliter

Total count normal ranges in below 2 years of children is 5000-20000 x 10 (9) / L .

PLATELETS. The platelet test measures the number of platelets in your body. A lower than normal platelet count is called thrombocytopenia, it is associated with heavy bleeding even from small and injuries. A higher than normal platelet is called thrombocytosis this is associated with clots which blocked blood vessels. Platelets of lower levels is a sign of infection like dengue malaria etc, disseminated intravascular coagulopathies, genetic disorders, radiations. Platelets of higher levels is a sign of compensatory  raise in severe blood loss and the blood cancers. Platelet normal count ranges from 1.5-14.5 lakhs per microliter of blood

QBC  Test For Malaria is a blood test used to identify malarial parasite. Very few parasites (low parasite lower), also identified by QBC. Test result is positive if malaria present, and absent if negative.

Dengue NS1 Antigen Test his blood test used to detect dengue virus in the blood. Dengue fever takes 3-7 days to manifest its symptoms. This test is done to diagnosed dengue virus infection at early stage

Widal Test is a blood test helps to detect typhoid fever and paratyphoid fever  collectively known as enteric fever. It is caused by drinking/eating contaminated Salmonella (bacteria) food. A widal test should be performed after the first week of the infection because antibody testing against” 0 “ and” H” antigen of Salmonella starts appearing at end of 1st week of fever. Therefore it is advisable to perform test with 2 blood samples within the interval of 7-10 days. Different labs how different reference ranges for the interpretation.

Chikungunya IgM Combo Rapid Test is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of IgM anti-chikungunya (CHIK) virus in human serum, plasma or whole blood.

The Scrub-Typhus IgM Test is a test that is used for the detection of scrub typhus transmitted to humans through the bite of the larva of trombiculid mites or through the bacteria Orientia tsutsugamushi . The bite results in the formation of an eschar or a scab at the site.

Complete Urine Examination is a test for  urine. It is often done to check for urinary tract infections, kidney problems, diabetes. It involves checking urine for sugars in diabetes mellitus , protein in kidney problems , ketones in starvation and diabetes ketoacidosis , bilirubin for jaundice , cells for cancer , crystals for cancers, bacteria for urinary infections
