Our health screening tests and packages cover a wide and comprehensive list of test profiles. Following is our Test Profile Index.
HBs Ag is a part of the capsule of the hepatitis B virus and if positive represents hepatitis B infection. If the liver enzymes are normal, the person is a carrier of hepatitis B. If the enzymes are high for more than a few months, that person is suffering from chronic hepatitis B. Both groups have a higher risk of liver cancer than the normal population.
C-reactive protein is vital in the assessment of cardiovascular disease risk in an individual and is usually tested alongside lipid profile tests.
Ketones are present in urine of persons after acute starvation or patients with severe diabetes mellitus.
This is the bad cholesterol as it helps in the deposition of cholesterol in the wall of blood vessels. High level of LDL cholesterol is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease.
Epstein Barr virus (EBV) is a causative agent of infectious mononucleosis and is most commonly spread via saliva. EBV has been associated with several human tumors including nasopharyngeal carcinoma, Hodgkin’s disease, and African Burkitt lymphoma.
Detection of nitrite in urine is suggestive of urinary tract infection caused by bacteria.
Non-HDL cholesterol measures the cholesterol content of all plaque-forming lipoproteins, including low density lipoprotein (LDL). High levels of non-HDL and LDL cholesterol have a high risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
A thin smear is made of the blood, stained with special dye and examined under the microscope. The normal red blood cells are described as normochromic(normal colour) and normocytic (normal size).
The urine can be acidic or alkaline depending on our food intake and the time of the day the sample is taken. The types of crystals detected in the urine will vary with the reaction of the urine.
Phosphate is primarily involved in bone metabolism. High levels are seen in normal children with active bone growth. Patients with kidney failure or bone disease also have high phosphate levels.
