Information About The Tests

Liver Function Test

A Liver Function Test (LFT) is a set of blood tests that assess the health and functionality of the liver. The liver plays a crucial role in various metabolic processes, detoxification, and the production of proteins necessary for bodily functions. LFTs help healthcare professionals evaluate liver function and identify any potential liver disorders or abnormalities.

  1. AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase):
  2. ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase):
  3. Alk Phos (Alkaline Phosphatase):
  4. Gamma GT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase):
  5. Total Bilirubin:
  6. Total Protein:
  7. Albumin:
  8. Globulin:

These tests are often interpreted together, as abnormalities in one or more markers can provide valuable information about the overall health of the liver. It's important to note that while LFTs are useful in assessing liver function, they are not specific to a particular disease, and further investigation may be needed to determine the underlying cause of any abnormalities. Interpretation of LFT results should be done by healthcare professionals in the context of the individual's medical history and other diagnostic tests.

Kidney (Renal) Function Test

A Renal Function Test (RFT) is a group of tests that provide information about the functioning of the kidneys. The kidneys play a crucial role in maintaining the body's internal environment by regulating the balance of water and electrolytes, removing waste products, and producing hormones. Renal function tests help assess how well the kidneys are performing these functions.

  1. Urea:
  2. Creatinine:
  3. eGFR (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate):
  4. Sodium:
  5. Chloride:
  6. Bicarbonate:

These tests are often performed together as a panel to provide a comprehensive assessment of kidney function and electrolyte balance. Abnormal results may suggest the presence of kidney disease, dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, or other medical conditions. If you have concerns about your renal function, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management.

General Biochemistry

A general biochemistry blood test, also known as a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) is a group of blood tests that provide information about the body's metabolism and organ function. These tests help assess various aspects of the body's chemistry and can aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of a wide range of conditions.

  1. Creatinine:
  2. Uric Acid:
  3. Calcium:
  4. Corrected Calcium:
  5. Phosphate:

These tests are typically performed as part of routine health check-ups, to monitor certain medical conditions, or to investigate symptoms. Abnormal results may prompt further testing and evaluation to determine the underlying cause of any imbalances or abnormalities.

It's important to note that reference ranges for these tests can vary between laboratories, and interpretation should be done in consultation with a healthcare professional. Additionally, these tests are often considered in conjunction with a patient's medical history, symptoms, and other diagnostic information to provide a comprehensive understanding of their health status. If you have concerns about your blood test results, it's recommended to discuss them with your healthcare provider.

Glucose

Measures the amount of sugar (glucose) in the blood. Elevated levels may indicate diabetes or other metabolic disorders.

Lipid Profile

A lipid profile is a blood test that measures the levels of various lipids (fats) in your blood. This test provides valuable information about your cardiovascular health and helps assess the risk of developing heart disease. The key components typically measured in a lipid profile include:

  1. Total Cholesterol
  2. Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Cholesterol
  3. High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Cholesterol
  4. Triglycerides
  5. LDL Cholesterol/HDL Cholesterol Ratio

It's important to note that while the lipid profile provides valuable information, it is not the sole determinant of heart disease risk. Other factors, such as blood pressure, diabetes, and lifestyle choices (diet, exercise, smoking, etc.), also play crucial roles in overall cardiovascular health. Interpretation of lipid profile results and decisions about treatment or lifestyle modifications should be made in consultation with a healthcare professional.

Oestradiol (E2)

Estradiol (E2) is a crucial estrogen hormone, primarily produced in the ovaries (females) and, to a lesser extent, in the testes (males). It regulates female secondary sexual characteristics, the menstrual cycle, and plays a role in male reproductive health. Measurement of E2 levels is important in assessing reproductive and overall health.

Total Testosterone

Testosterone plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of male reproductive tissues and is also involved in various physiological processes, such as muscle mass and strength, bone density, and the distribution of body fat.

Testosterone levels can fluctuate throughout the day levels are generally at their highest in the morning.

There are different forms of testosterone in the blood, including total testosterone and free testosterone. Total testosterone measures the overall amount of testosterone in the blood, while free testosterone represents the portion of testosterone that is not bound to proteins and is available for use by the body's cells.

It's important to note that testosterone levels can vary between individuals, and what is considered a normal range can differ based on factors such as age and health conditions. Interpreting testosterone levels requires consideration of the individual's overall health and specific circumstances.

If you have concerns about your testosterone levels or are experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalances, it's recommended to consult with a healthcare professional who can provide personalized advice and appropriate testing.
