COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT
Test that measures several components and features of your blood and is used to evaluate your overall health and check for many disorders like anemia, infection, leukemia.
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.
This test is used to determine general health status, screen for disorders and evaluate nutritional status. It can help diagnose conditions such as anemia, blood cancers and infections. 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.

H.PYLORI ANTIBODY TEST
This blood test checks for antibodies to H.pylori a bacteria that causes peptic ulcers. A positive results means you either are currently infected or have been infected in the past.
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.
To diagnose an infection with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). Helicobacter Pylori H. Pylori is a spiral-shaped bacterium and attack the lining of the stomach. Due to its spiral shape, it penetrates into the stomach and gets protected by the mucus. Hence, immune cells are not able to reach them. This bacteria cause serious stomach problems like peptic ulcer, gastritis and most of the stomach ulcers. Antigens are the foreign substances that induce the immune responses to produce antibodies in the human body.

Calcium
Serum calcium is a blood test used to measure the amount of calcium in the blood to screen or monitor bone diseases or calcium regulation disorders.
Blood.
You may be instructed to stop taking certain medications, such as lithium, antacids, diuretics, and vitamin D supplements, among others, to ensure the most accurate test results.
It is essential for cell signaling and the proper functioning of muscles, nerves, and the heart. Calcium is needed for blood clotting and is crucial for the formation, density, and maintenance of bones and teeth. This test measures the amount of calcium in the blood or urine, which reflects the amount of total and ionized calcium in the body.

Creatinine
A carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) test is a blood test used to help diagnose and manage certain types of cancers during treatment.
Blood.
You may be instructed to fast overnight or refrain from eating cooked meat; some studies have shown that eating cooked meat prior to testing can temporarily increase the level of creatinine. If a 24-hour urine sample is being collected, it is important to save all the urine produced during that time period.
Both creatine and creatinine are produced by the body at a relatively constant rate. Since almost all creatinine is filtered from the blood by the kidneys and released into the urine, blood levels are usually a good indicator of how well the kidneys are working. The amount of creatinine you produce depends on your body size and your muscle mass. For this reason, creatinine levels are usually slightly higher in men than in women and children. Results from a blood creatinine test may be used in combination with results from other tests, such as a 24-hour urine creatinine test, to calculate values that are used to evaluate kidney function.

Direct bilirubin
This test is used to check for presence of liver disease or damage.
Blood.
You may need to fast (nothing but water) for four hours before the test. Inform the doctor if you are on any medications, have any allergies or underlying medical conditions before this test.
Bilirubin is an orange-yellow pigment, a waste product primarily produced by the normal breakdown of heme a component of hemoglobin, which is found in red blood cells (RBCs). A small amount (approximately 250 to 350 milligrams) of bilirubin is produced daily in a normal, healthy adult.If the bilirubin level increases in the blood, a person may appear jaundiced, with a yellowing of the skin and/or whites of the eyes. The pattern of bilirubin test results can give the health practitioner information regarding the condition that may be present ie with liver diseases such as cirrhosis or inherited problems.

Reticulocyte Count
A reticulocyte test determines the number and/or percentage of reticulocytes( Immature Red Blood Cells) in the blood and is a reflection of recent bone marrow function or activity.
Blood.
No specific patient preparation protocol required. Inform the doctor if you are on any medications, have any allergies or underlying medical conditions before this test.
Red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow, where blood-forming (hematopoietic) stem cells differentiate and develop, eventually forming reticulocytes and finally becoming mature RBCs. A variety of diseases and conditions i.e hemorrhage, hemolysis, bone marrow disorder, kidney disease can affect the production of new RBCs and/or their survival, in addition to those conditions that may result in significant bleeding. These conditions may lead to a rise or drop in the number of RBCs and may affect the reticulocyte count.

This tests is used to screen for prostate cancer however, PSA levels are also affected by other things such as enlarges prostate, a urinary tract infection or recent ejaculation.
Blood.
No specific patient preparation protocol required.
Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is a protein produced primarily by cells in the prostate, a small gland that encircles the urethra in males and produces a fluid that makes up part of semen. Most of the PSA that the prostate produces is released into this fluid, but small amounts of it are also released into the bloodstream. Prostate-specific antigen test indicates the presence of prostate cancer, prostatitis or an enlarged prostate gland in men.

C-REACTIVE PROTEIN (CRP)
This test (C-reactive protein) helps to detect inflammation from acute infections, burns, trauma and many other conditions that would cause inflammation. It is also used to monitor severity of diseases in chronic conditions.
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.
A CRP test measures the amount of CRP in the blood to detect inflammation due to acute conditions or to monitor the severity of disease in chronic conditions. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein made by the liver. CRP levels in the blood increase when there is a condition causing inflammation somewhere in the body. CRP is a non-specific indicator of inflammation and one of the most sensitive acute phase reactants. That means that it is released into the blood within a few hours after an injury, the start of an infection, or other cause of inflammation.

URIC ACID
This blood test is used to check for gout and also monitor people undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatment for cancer.
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.
Uric acid is produced by the breakdown of purines. Purines are nitrogen-containing compounds found in the cells of the body, including our DNA. If too much uric acid is produced or not enough is removed, it can accumulate in the body, causing increased levels in the blood (hyperuricemia). The presence of excess uric acid can cause gout, a condition characterized by inflammation of the joints due to the formation of uric acid crystals in the joint (synovial) fluid. Excess uric acid can also be deposited in tissues such as the kidney, leading to kidney stones or kidney failure.
