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 ofblood which includes red blood cells which carries oxygen, white blood cells  which  fight with infection, Platelets which stopsbleeding , 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

CRP test / c- reactive protein test is a blood test which is non-specific marker of inflammation. This value raises in infection, trauma, Heart disease and autoimmune disease. It also helps to monitor treatment post infection and inflammation. Normal range is less than 1.0 mg/L. CRP normally high in females on hormone therapy and high body mass index. CRP is very high in infective, autoimmune disease, cancer, lung and pancreatic disease

PTH test is most often used along with calcium testing to: Diagnose hyperparathyroidism, a condition in which your parathyroid glands produce too much parathyroid hormone. Diagnose hypoparathyroidism, a condition in which your parathyroid glands produce too little parathyroid hormone

Vitamin D test / Cholecalciferol test / ergoCalciferol test / Calcidiol test / Vitamin D2 test/Vitamin D3 test is blood test used to assess of Vitamin D levels in blood. Vitamin D test is recommended to determine if a deficiency, insufficiency, toxic levels of Vitamin D is present or to monitor the treatment for the previously diagnosed with deficiency. Symptoms of deficiency are beginning of bones, bone deformity, bone pain, muscle weakness/cramps, seizures, dental abnormalities. Reference range  are deficient less than 20 mg/mL, insufficiency 20 – 30 mg/mL, sufficient 30-100 mg/mL, potential toxicity more than 100 mg/mL.

RA factor .A positive rheumatoid factor test result indicates that a high level of rheumatoid factor was detected in your blood. A higher level of rheumatoid factor in your blood is closely associated with autoimmune disease, particularly rheumatoid arthritis

serum Calcium is an essential mineral in your body. Calcium blood tests check to make sure you have appropriate levels of calcium in your blood to be healthy. If you have high or low levels of calcium in your blood, it may indicate that you have certain medical conditions. It is used to diagnosed kidney disease, thyroid or parathyroid disease, malnutrition, problems absorbing Calcium, certain types of cancers

Serum phosphorus. The phosphorus blood test measures the amount of phosphate in the blood. Blood is drawn from a usually from the inside of the elbow or the back of the handdeficiency include loss of appetite, anxiety, bone pain, fragile bones, stiff joints, fatigue, irregular breathing, irritability, numbness, weakness, and weight change. In children, decreased growth and poor bone and tooth development may occur. Extra phosphorus causes body changes that pull calcium out of your bones, making them weak. High phosphorus and calcium levels also lead to dangerous calcium deposits in blood vessels, lungs, eyes, and heart. Over time this can lead to increased risk of heart attack, stroke or death.

Alkaline Phosphatase Test . An alkaline phosphatase (ALP) test measures the amount of ALP in your blood. ALP is an enzyme found in many parts of your body. Each part of your body produces a different type of ALP. Most ALP is found in your liver, bones, kidneys, and digestive system.
