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

PCV (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

Lipid Profile is a blood test done to measure each type of cholesterol. Lipid profile includes total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL), high density lipoprotein( HDL ), Triglycerides (another type of fat in your body), very low density lipoprotein (VL d l). It is done at an earlier  age if you have diabetes, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, strong family history of heart disease . Follow up testing should be done for risk persons  to prevent heart attack.

HBA1C test is a blood test that shows what your average blood sugar (glucose) level was over the past 2-3 months. High levels are sign of high blood glucose from diabetes and it is used to screen type II diabetes and prediabetes. Normal range of an adult is 5.7%. Range in pre-diabetes is 5.7% -6.4%. Higher diabetes is more than 6.5%.

Kidney Function Test  requires both the urine sample and blood sample. It includes following tests Blood Urea Nitrogen (BU N), creatinine (serum), creatinine clearance, creatinine urine. All these tests are done to check kidney function. Serum creatinine levels are elevated not only in kidney problems but also in muscle disorders and massive accident. Symptoms of kidney disorder include decreased urine output, body swelling, weakness, salt like crust on body, headache.

ECG can help detect: arrhythmias – where the heart beats too slowly, too quickly, or irregularly. coronary heart disease – where the heart’s blood supply is blocked or interrupted by a build-up of fatty substances. heart attacks – where the supply of blood to the heart is suddenly blocked.

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

A Troponin Test Measures The Levels Of Troponin T or Troponin I Proteins in the blood. These proteins are released when the heart muscle has been damaged, such as occurs with a heart attack. The more damage there is to the heart, the greater the amount of troponin T and I there will be in the blood.

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. These include: kidney disease.

HBA1C testis a blood test that shows what your average blood sugar (glucose) level was over the past 2-3 months. High levels are sign of high blood glucose from diabetes and it is used to screen type II diabetes and prediabetes. Normal range of an adult is 5.7%. Range in pre-diabetes is 5.7% -6.4%. Higher diabetes is more than 6.5%.

kidney function test  requires both the urine sample and blood sample. It includes following tests Blood Urea Nitrogen (BU N), creatinine (serum), creatinine clearance, creatinine urine. All these tests are done to check kidney function. Serum creatinine levels are elevated not only in kidney problems but also in muscle disorders and massive accident. Symptoms of kidney disorder include decreased urine output, body swelling, weakness, salt like crust on body, headache.

ECG can help detect: arrhythmias – where the heart beats too slowly, too quickly, or irregularly. coronary heart disease – where the heart’s blood supply is blocked or interrupted by a build-up of fatty substances. heart attacks – where the supply of blood to the heart is suddenly blocked.

2D Echo is a diagnostic test that provides excellent and clear images of the heart, the para cardiac structures and the vessels in the heart. It is a non-invasive technique that uses sonar waves in order to pass through the skin, reach the internal organs and form clear images
