Complete Blood Picture (CBC): This test provides information about different components of your blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR): ESR measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in a tube of blood. It can indicate inflammation in the body.
Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS): This test measures the level of glucose (sugar) in your blood after an overnight fast. It helps screen for diabetes or prediabetes.
Serum Creatinine: Creatinine is a waste product produced by muscle metabolism. Elevated levels can indicate kidney dysfunction.
Blood Urea: Blood urea measures the level of urea nitrogen in the blood, which is a waste product filtered by the kidneys.
Lipid Profile: This test measures various types of fats (lipids) in your blood, including cholesterol and triglycerides. It helps assess heart health.
Calcium: Calcium is an essential mineral that plays a role in bone health, nerve function, and muscle contraction.
Uric Acid: Uric acid is produced as a byproduct of purine metabolism. High levels can indicate conditions like gout.
Urine Routine: This test examines your urine for various properties, including color, clarity, pH, protein, glucose, and more.
