Reports Delivery: Usually available within a few hours.
SAMPLE TYPE: Blood GENDER: Both AGE GROUP: All ages
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)
SAMPLE TYPE: Blood GENDER: Both AGEGROUP: All ages
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.
SAMPLE TYPE: Blood GENDER: Male AGE GROUP: Mostly 40+ (but can be done at any age if advised)
Test Name: PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen)
About: The PSA test measures the level of Prostate-Specific Antigen, a protein produced by the prostate gland. It helps detect prostate enlargement, prostate inflammation, and prostate cancer.
Test Overview: PSA levels rise when the prostate is affected by conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis, or prostate cancer. This test is a key screening and monitoring tool for prostate health.
Reports Delivery: Usually available within a few hours to 1 day.
SAMPLE TYPE: Blood GENDER: Both AGE GROUP: All ages
Test Name: PT/INR (Prothrombin Time/International Normalized Ratio)
About:
The PT/INR test is a blood test commonly used to measure how quickly your blood clots. It evaluates the extrinsic and common pathways of coagulation, helping to diagnose bleeding disorders and monitor patients on anticoagulant therapy.
Test Overview:
PT/INR assists doctors in assessing the efficiency of the clotting process in your body. It helps detect clotting factor deficiencies, liver disease, vitamin K deficiency, and monitors the effects of blood-thinning medications.
Reports Delivery:
Usually available within a few hours to 1 day.
SAMPLE TYPE: Blood GENDER: Both AGE GROUP: All ages
Test Name: RA Factor
About:
The Rheumatoid Factor (RA Factor) test is commonly recommended to help check your basic health status and investigate symptoms related to joint pain and stiffness.
Test Overview:
RA Factor helps doctors understand your health condition better. This test is useful for finding autoimmune disorders, especially rheumatoid arthritis, and differentiating them from other joint diseases. It is a simple test usually done using a blood sample. Your doctor may suggest this test if you have symptoms or during regular health checkups.
Reports Delivery:
Usually available within 24–48 hours.
SAMPLE TYPE: Blood GENDER: Both AGE GROUP: All ages
Test Name: Random Blood Sugar (RBS)
About: The RBS test measures your blood glucose level at any time of the day, regardless of when you last ate. It is useful for quickly checking blood sugar levels, especially during symptoms of high or low sugar.
Test Overview: RBS helps assess immediate blood glucose status and is commonly used in emergency situations or routine diabetes monitoring.
Reports Delivery: Usually available within a few hours.
SAMPLE TYPE: Blood GENDER: Both AGE GROUP: All ages
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.
About: The SGOT (AST) test measures the level of an enzyme called Aspartate Aminotransferase. This enzyme is mainly found in the liver, heart, and muscles. Elevated SGOT levels may indicate liver damage or injury to other organs.
Test Overview: SGOT is released into the bloodstream when liver cells or muscle cells are damaged. It is commonly performed along with SGPT (ALT) for a clearer evaluation of liver health.
Reports Delivery: Usually available within a few hours to 1 day.
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.
SAMPLE TYPE: Stool GENDER: Both AGE GROUP: All ages
Test Name: Stool Occult Blood
About: The Stool Occult Blood test detects hidden (occult) blood in stool that is not visible to the naked eye. It is an important screening tool for digestive tract bleeding.
Test Overview: This test helps identify small amounts of blood that may come from ulcers, polyps, tumors, infections, or other gastrointestinal (GI) conditions.
Reports Delivery: Usually available within a few hours to 1 day.
SAMPLE TYPE: Stool GENDER: Both AGE GROUP: All ages

Reports Delivery: Usually available within a few hours to 1 day.
SAMPLE TYPE: Blood GENDER: Both AGE GROUP: All ages
Test Name: Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC)
About: The TIBC test measures the amount of transferrin—an iron-binding protein—available in your blood. It helps diagnose iron deficiency, iron overload, and other metabolic conditions.
Test Overview: This test evaluates how efficiently iron is transported by transferrin in the bloodstream and is usually done along with serum iron and ferritin tests.
Reports Delivery: Usually available within a few hours to 1 day.
