The complete blood count (CBC) is a test that measures the cells that circulate in blood. Blood consists of three types of cells suspended in a fluid called plasma: white blood cells (WBCs), red blood cells (RBCs), and platelets (PLTs). They are produced and mature primarily in the bone marrow and are then released into the bloodstream as needed. The readings vary with sex, age, physiological state, and general health.

BLOOD GROUPING
Test that shows what type of blood you carry (A, B, AB and O) including Rh factor. Knowing your blood type enables safe blood donation and transfusion.
Blood.
No specific patient preparation protocol required. Inform your doctor if you are on any medications or have any underlying medical conditions or allergies before undergoing this test.
Blood grouping detects the presence or absence of these antigens to determine a person’s ABO blood group and Rh type. Blood groups are based on the markers (specific carbohydrates or proteins) or antigens on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs). Two major antigens or surface identifiers on human RBCs are the A and B antigens. Another important surface antigen is called Rh. People whose red blood cells have A antigens are in blood group A, those with B antigens are group B, those with both A and B antigens are in group AB, and those who do not have either of these markers are in blood group O. If the Rh protein is present on the red blood cells, a person’s blood type is Rh+ (positive); if it is absent, the person’s blood is type Rh- (negative).

RANDOM BLOOD SUGAR (RBS)
This is test that measures blood glucose regardless of when you last had a meal. Random testing is useful because glucose levels in healthy people do not vary widely through out the day so glucose levels that vary widely may mean a problem.
Blood.
No specific patient preparation protocol required. Inform your doctor if you are on any medications or have any underlying medical conditions or allergies before undergoing this test.
Glucose is the primary energy source for the body’s cells and the only energy source for the brain and nervous system. A steady supply must be available for use, and a relatively constant level of glucose must be maintained in the blood. A random blood sugar test is used to measure the amount of glucose (sugar) in your blood without any fasting conditions. In this test, the blood is drawn randomly at any point of time in a day.

STOOL ANALYSIS
These are series of stool tests used to check for digestive tract infection, viruses, bacteria, poor nutrient absorption or cancer.
Stool.
No specific patient preparation protocol required. Inform your doctor if you are on any medications or have any underlying medical conditions or allergies before undergoing this test.
For a stool analysis, a stool sample is collected in a clean container and then sent to the laboratory. Laboratory analysis includes microscopic examination, chemical tests, and microbiologic tests. The stool will be checked for color, consistency, amount, shape, odor, and the presence of mucus. The stool may be examined for hidden (occult) blood, fat, meat fibers, bile, white blood cells, and sugars called reducing substances. The pH of the stool also may be measured. A stool culture is done to find out if bacteria may be causing an infection.
