Test Name: Electrolytes (Na, K, Cl)

About:
The Electrolytes test measures the levels of Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), and Chloride (Cl) in your blood. These essential minerals help maintain fluid balance, nerve function, muscle contraction, and overall metabolic stability.

Test Overview:
This test is commonly used to assess dehydration, kidney health, acid–base balance, and conditions affecting the heart, nerves, and muscles.

Reports Delivery:
Usually available within a few hours.

Is Fasting Required:
No

Test Name: Ferritin

About:
The Ferritin test measures the level of ferritin, a protein that stores iron in your body. It helps assess iron reserves and detect deficiency or overload.

Test Overview:
Ferritin reflects your body’s iron storage levels. It is often done with serum iron and TIBC for complete iron status evaluation.

Reports Delivery:
Usually available within a few hours to 1 day.

Is Fasting Required:
No

Test Name: FT3 (Free Triiodothyronine)

About:
The FT3 test measures the level of Free T3, the active form of the thyroid hormone Triiodothyronine. Unlike total T3, FT3 reflects the hormone that is not bound to proteins and is available for use by the body.

Test Overview:
FT3 is an important marker for assessing thyroid gland activity, especially in diagnosing hyperthyroidism. It is usually tested alongside TSH, T4, and FT4 for a complete thyroid profile.

Reports Delivery:
Usually available within a few hours to 1 day.

Is Fasting Required:
No

Test Name: HbA1c (Glycated Hemoglobin)

About:
The HbA1c test measures the percentage of hemoglobin in your blood that is coated with sugar (glycated). It reflects your average blood glucose levels over the past 2–3 months and is one of the most important tests for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes.

Test Overview:
HbA1c gives a long-term picture of blood sugar control and helps evaluate the effectiveness of diabetes treatment. It is useful for both diabetic and prediabetic individuals.

Reports Delivery:
Usually available within a few hours to 1 day.

Is Fasting Required:
No

Test Name: HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol)

About:
The HDL test measures the level of “good” cholesterol in your blood. HDL helps remove excess cholesterol from the arteries and transports it to the liver for processing, reducing the risk of heart disease.

Test Overview:
Higher HDL levels are generally protective against cardiovascular diseases. This test is usually a part of a lipid profile to assess overall heart health.

Reports Delivery:
Usually available within a few hours to 1 day.

Is Fasting Required:
No (fasting recommended only if taken with full lipid panel)

Test Name: LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol)

About:
The LDL test measures the level of “bad” cholesterol in your blood. High LDL leads to cholesterol buildup in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular conditions.

Test Overview:
LDL is the main carrier of cholesterol in the blood. Higher levels cause plaque formation in blood vessels, making this test crucial for cardiac risk assessment.

Reports Delivery:
Usually available within a few hours to 1 day.

Is Fasting Required:
No (fasting recommended only if part of full lipid profile)

Test Name: Lipid Profile

About:
A Lipid Profile is a comprehensive blood test that measures different types of fats (lipids) in your bloodstream. It helps assess your risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular conditions.

Test Overview:
This test evaluates cholesterol and triglyceride levels to determine overall lipid health. It is one of the most commonly recommended tests for adults.

Reports Delivery:
Usually available within a few hours to 1 day.

Is Fasting Required:
Yes — 8 to 12 hours of fasting is recommended.

Test Name: PPBS (Post Prandial Blood Sugar)

About:
The PPBS test measures the blood glucose level 2 hours after a meal. It helps evaluate how the body processes sugar after eating and is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes.

Test Overview:
PPBS reflects how effectively insulin works after food intake. It is often used along with FBS and HbA1c for a complete assessment of blood sugar control.

Reports Delivery:
Usually available within a few hours.

Is Fasting Required:
No (but must be tested exactly 2 hours after eating)

Test Name: Procalcitonin

About:
The Procalcitonin test measures the level of procalcitonin, a substance produced by the body in response to severe bacterial infections. It helps distinguish bacterial infections from viral infections, making it a crucial test in emergency and critical care.

Test Overview:
Procalcitonin levels rise significantly during bacterial sepsis, pneumonia, meningitis, and other serious infections. It is also used to monitor treatment response and guide antibiotic therapy.

Reports Delivery:
Usually available within a few hours.

Is Fasting Required:
No
