🩸 1. CBC (Complete Blood Count – 28 Parameters)

A complete assessment of blood cell health:

• Hemoglobin, Hematocrit – Check for anemia
• RBC & Indices (MCV, MCH, RDW) – Classify anemia type
• WBC & Differential – Detect infection or immune status
• Platelets – Clotting potential
  Helps evaluate fatigue, weakness, infection, or bleeding risk

🔥 2. ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate)

• Marker of chronic inflammation
• Elevated in autoimmune diseases, chronic infections, or arthritis
  Used alongside CRP or RF in evaluating non-specific inflammatory states

🧲 3. Iron Studies (3 Tests)

Checks iron status and transport:

• Serum Iron – Measures available iron
• TIBC (Total Iron Binding Capacity) – Iron-carrying capacity of the blood
• Transferrin Saturation – Indicates how well iron is being utilized
  Helps detect iron deficiency anemia, common in women and vegetarians

🦋 4. Thyroid Profile (3 Tests: T3, T4, TSH)

• TSH – Master controller of thyroid hormone production
• T3 & T4 – Active thyroid hormones affecting metabolism
  Abnormal levels can cause:
• Hypothyroidism – Fatigue, weight gain, hair loss
• Hyperthyroidism – Anxiety, weight loss, palpitations

🧪 5. Liver Function Test (LFT – 11 Parameters)

Evaluates liver enzymes, proteins, and bilirubin:

• SGOT (AST), SGPT (ALT), ALP, GGT – Liver cell and bile duct health
• Total/Direct Bilirubin – Jaundice or bile obstruction
• Proteins (Albumin, Globulin, A/G Ratio) – Liver’s synthetic and immune function
  Useful in fatty liver, alcohol use, hepatitis, or medication monitoring

💧 6. Kidney Profile (5 Parameters)

Monitors kidney waste clearance:

• Urea, Creatinine, Uric Acid – Core filtration markers
• BUN/Creatinine Ratio – Distinguishes dehydration from kidney failure
  Essential for patients with hypertension, diabetes, or gout risk

🍬 7. Sugar – Glucose (Random)

• Measures blood sugar at any time of day
• Helps screen for diabetes or reactive hypoglycemia
• Normal range: <140 mg/dL (post-meal); >200 may suggest diabetes

🫀 8. Lipid Profile (8 Parameters)

Assesses cholesterol and fat-based heart risks:

• Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, VLDL, Triglycerides
• Non-HDL Cholesterol
• TC/HDL & LDL/HDL Ratios – Predictive of heart attack/stroke risk
  Helpful in monitoring diet, exercise, or statin therapy

🦴 9. Calcium

• Vital for bones, teeth, nerve signaling, and muscle contraction
• Abnormal levels may indicate parathyroid, kidney, or vitamin D issues
  Often linked to fatigue, muscle cramps, or bone loss

⏳ 10. HbA1c (Glycated Hemoglobin)

• Measures average blood sugar over the past 2–3 months
• Essential for diabetes diagnosis and monitoring
  • Normal: <5.7%
  • Prediabetes: 5.7–6.4%
  • Diabetes: ≥6.5%
    More stable and reliable than random glucose alone

✅ Summary Use Cases:

• Fatigue, low energy – CBC, Iron, Thyroid, Calcium
• Metabolic health & diabetes risk – Glucose Random, HbA1c, Lipids
• Organ health – LFT, KFT
• Inflammation – ESR
• Cardiovascular risk – Lipid Profile, HbA1c, Kidney markers
