Test Name: Reticulocyte Count

About:
The Reticulocyte Count test measures the number of reticulocytes—young, immature red blood cells—in your bloodstream. It helps evaluate bone marrow function and the body’s ability to produce new RBCs.

Test Overview:
Reticulocytes are released by the bone marrow and mature into red blood cells within a day. Measuring their count helps diagnose anemia types and assess bone marrow response to treatment.

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

Is Fasting Required:
No

Test Name: Peripheral Smear (PS)

About:
A Peripheral Smear test examines the blood under a microscope to evaluate the shape, size, number, and appearance of blood cells. It helps diagnose various blood disorders, infections, and anemia types with greater accuracy.

Test Overview:
This test provides a detailed visual assessment of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It helps detect abnormalities that automated machines may miss.

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

Is Fasting Required:
No

Test Name: SGPT (ALT) – Serum Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase / Alanine Aminotransferase

About:
The SGPT (ALT) test measures the level of Alanine Aminotransferase, an enzyme found mainly in the liver. Elevated SGPT levels usually indicate liver cell injury or inflammation.

Test Overview:
SGPT is released into the bloodstream when liver cells are damaged. This test is commonly done along with SGOT (AST) to assess liver health and diagnose liver conditions.

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)
