At PDRC, we offer a wide range of essential laboratory tests designed to provide you with a clear understanding of your overall health. Regular testing is an important step in preventing and managing medical conditions. Whether you’re experiencing symptoms, managing a chronic condition, or undergoing routine health check-ups, our comprehensive diagnostic services will give you valuable insights to guide your healthcare decisions.

1. Complete Blood Count (CBC)

A Complete Blood Count (CBC) is one of the most common blood tests, providing valuable information about your overall health and helping detect a variety of disorders, such as anemia, infections, and many other diseases. The test measures several components of your blood, including red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), hemoglobin levels, and platelets.

• Why it’s important: It helps in diagnosing conditions like anemia, infections, and certain cancers.
• What it tests: Hemoglobin, RBC count, WBC count, platelet count, and more.

2. Blood Sugar Test

The Blood Sugar Test measures the amount of glucose (sugar) in your blood and is key in diagnosing and managing diabetes. This test is crucial for individuals with symptoms of high blood sugar, such as excessive thirst, fatigue, or frequent urination.

• Why it’s important: It helps diagnose and monitor diabetes and ensures proper management of blood sugar levels.
• What it tests: Fasting blood glucose, random blood glucose, and sometimes postprandial glucose.

3. Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)

The ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) test measures how quickly red blood cells settle at the bottom of a test tube. A higher ESR can indicate inflammation in the body, often associated with conditions like arthritis, infections, and autoimmune diseases.

• Why it’s important: It helps detect inflammation or the presence of diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and infections.
• What it tests: The rate at which red blood cells settle in a blood sample.

4. Liver Function Test (LFT)

The Liver Function Test (LFT) is a panel of tests used to evaluate the health of your liver by measuring the levels of liver enzymes, proteins, and bilirubin. Abnormal results can indicate liver diseases such as hepatitis or cirrhosis.

• Why it’s important: It helps diagnose liver disease, monitor liver function, and track the effects of medications on the liver.
• What it tests: ALT, AST, ALP, bilirubin, albumin, and total protein levels.

5. Renal Function Test (RFT)

The Renal Function Test (RFT) measures how well your kidneys are filtering waste from your blood. It includes tests like creatinine, urea, and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Abnormal results can signal kidney disease or impaired kidney function.

• Why it’s important: It helps diagnose kidney diseases and monitor kidney function in patients with chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension.
• What it tests: Creatinine, urea, uric acid, and GFR.

6. Lipid Profile

The Lipid Profile test measures the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood, which are key indicators of cardiovascular health. High levels of LDL cholesterol (“bad” cholesterol) or triglycerides can increase your risk of heart disease and stroke.

• Why it’s important: It helps assess your cardiovascular risk and the need for lifestyle changes or medication to manage cholesterol levels.
• What it tests: Total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides.

7. Thyroid Function Test (TFT)

The Thyroid Function Test (TFT) measures the levels of thyroid hormones in your blood, including TSH, T4, and T3. Thyroid imbalances can affect your metabolism, energy levels, weight, and overall health.

• Why it’s important: It helps diagnose thyroid disorders like hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
• What it tests: TSH, Free T4, Free T3 levels.

8. Uric Acid

The Uric Acid Test measures the level of uric acid in your blood or urine. High levels of uric acid can lead to conditions such as gout and kidney stones.

• Why it’s important: It helps diagnose gout and monitor kidney health.
• What it tests: Uric acid levels in the blood or urine.

9. Vitamin D Test

The Vitamin D Test measures the amount of vitamin D in your blood, which is essential for bone health, immune function, and overall well-being. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to conditions like osteoporosis and weaken your immune system.

• Why it’s important: It helps assess your bone health and immune function and detect vitamin D deficiency.
• What it tests: Levels of Vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D) in the blood.

10. Vitamin B12 Test

The Vitamin B12 Test measures the level of vitamin B12 in your blood, which is crucial for nerve function, red blood cell production, and DNA synthesis. Deficiency in B12 can lead to fatigue, weakness, and neurological problems.

• Why it’s important: It helps diagnose Vitamin B12 deficiency and conditions like anemia and neurological disorders.
• What it tests: Vitamin B12 levels in the blood.

11. HbA1c (Glycated Hemoglobin)

The HbA1c Test provides an average blood sugar level over the past 2-3 months, helping diagnose and monitor diabetes. It is an important tool for assessing long-term blood sugar control in diabetic patients.

• Why it’s important: It helps diagnose diabetes and monitor blood sugar control in individuals with diabetes.
• What it tests: The percentage of hemoglobin bound with glucose in the blood.

12. Calcium Test

The Calcium Test measures the level of calcium in your blood, which is vital for bone health, muscle function, and nerve transmission. Both low and high levels can be a sign of an underlying medical condition such as osteoporosis or hyperparathyroidism.

• Why it’s important: It helps assess bone health, parathyroid function, and kidney function.
• What it tests: Total calcium or ionized calcium levels in the blood.

13. Urine Routine Test

A Urine Routine Test (also called urinalysis) examines the physical, chemical, and microscopic properties of your urine. It helps diagnose conditions like urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney disease, and diabetes.

• Why it’s important: It helps diagnose UTIs, monitor kidney function, and detect signs of diabetes or dehydration.
• What it tests: Color, pH, glucose, proteins, blood, and microscopic elements in the urine.
