Our health screening tests and packages cover a wide and comprehensive list of test profiles. Following is our Test Profile Index.
Compares the amount of two proteins, albumin and globulin, in your blood and is a useful indicator for liver or kidney disease.
This protein is produced by the liver. Low levels can indicate liver disease and kidney disease due to reduced production and loss of albumin in the urine.
This enzyme is produced by bone and liver cells. High levels are seen in some bone disorders and liver disorders like obstructive jaundice, gall stones and space occupying lesions. Levels up to three times are seen in children within the age group when they are rapidly gaining height.
High levels are seen in patients with cancer of the liver and teratomas affecting the ovary and testis. However, not all cancer of the liver will have high levels. High levels are also seen in normal pregnant women. Levels which are much higher than that expected for the period of pregnancy may suggest foetal abnormalities.
Apolipoproteins play important roles in the lipid transport, making and breaking down of plasma lipoproteins, and are helpful in assessing the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
Helps in determining if a person has an increased rate of bone turnover, suggesting a bone disease like osteoporosis.
High blood levels will lead to jaundice (yellowness of the eyes and skin) and is associated with liver disease, haemolytic anaemias and hereditary disorders.
ABO and Rhesus are the two commonly used method of typing the blood. Under the ABO system, the blood can be A, B, AB or O. The percentage of the different ABO groups in the population is approximately A(23%), B(23%), AB(5%) and O(49%). Rhesus grouping is reported as positive or negative. Rhesus grouping becomes important when a Rhesus Negative woman becomes pregnant with a Rhesus Positive baby. But with modern medical treatment, this is not a problem provided the diagnosis is made early. Blood grouping is important when a person requires a blood transfusion. There is no such thing as a bad blood group.
An ultrasound test that measures how much calcium and other types of minerals are in the bone.
A circulating cancer-related antigen associated with metastatic breast cancer and is typically used to monitor response to therapy and can indicate disease status.
