To adequately deliver oxygen to your body's tissues, you need enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia is a condition where the body doesn't produce enough healthy red blood cells due to a deficiency or the healthy cells are destroyed excessively because of a disease.  Being anemic, or having low hemoglobin, can make you feel exhausted and frail.

Anemia can have many different forms, each with a unique origin. It can be mild to severe and can be short-term or long-term. Anemia typically has multiple causes. Blood test for anemia includes testing for deficiencies in the vital components required in the production of healthy red blood cells. 

A lack of iron in your body is usually the primary culprit of this type of anemia. To produce hemoglobin, your bone marrow needs iron. Your body can't make enough hemoglobin for red blood cells without enough iron. Your body also requires folate and vitamin B-12 in addition to iron to build enough healthy red blood cells. Reduced formation of red blood cells can result from a diet deficient in these and other essential nutrients.

Located in the right upper abdomen, below the rib cage, the liver is the body's largest solid organ that performs hundreds of crucial tasks, such as clearing toxins from the blood supply, regulating blood clotting, and preserving healthy blood sugar levels. 

Liver function tests are used to monitor and help identify liver damage or illness. The tests check the levels of specific proteins and enzymes in your blood. Some of these tests assess how well the liver is doing its typical tasks, which include making protein and getting rid of the blood waste product bilirubin. Other tests for liver health examine the enzymes that the liver cells produce in response to injury or illness.

Liver function tests can be used to:

* Check for hepatitis and other liver illnesses.
* Monitor illnesses, such as alcoholic or viral hepatitis, and assess the efficacy of a treatment.
* Measure the severity of an illness, especially liver scarring (cirrhosis)
* Check for potential drug adverse effects.
* Test for liver function measure the amounts of specific proteins and enzymes in your blood. 

Levels that are abnormally high or low can be a sign of liver issues.

Liver Function Test (LFT-1354)

Diabetes is a long-term (chronic) illness that affects the metabolism or breakdown and regulation of sugars in your body. After consumption of food or beverage, your pancreas releases a hormone known as insulin as your blood sugar levels rise. In order for blood sugar to enter your body's cells and be used as energy, insulin functions like a key.

When you have diabetes, your body either produces insufficient insulin or uses it improperly. This results in too much blood sugar remaining in your circulation (hyperglycemia) when there is insufficient insulin or when cells stop responding to insulin. Undiagnosed or uncontrolled diabetes, where your glucose levels are constantly high can eventually lead to major health issues like renal disease, eyesight loss, and heart disease. 

This package includes a range of blood and urine tests which aid in the diagnosis or monitoring of diabetes and its related conditions, such as renal diseases.

Usually found in the lower front of the neck, the thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped endocrine gland. The thyroid's function is to produce thyroid hormones, which are then secreted into the blood and distributed to all bodily tissues. The body uses thyroid hormones to use energy, stay warm, and keep the brain, heart, muscles, and other organs functioning normally.

The amount of thyroid hormones in your blood is measured during thyroid blood tests to determine whether your thyroid gland is working properly. 

Blood tests for the thyroid are used to identify thyroid conditions linked to hyper- or hypothyroidism, such as:

* Thyroiditis
* Graves’ disease
* Hashimoto’s disease
* Thyroid tumors
* Goiter
* Thyroid nodule
* Thyroid cancer

Thyroid Function Test (TFT-1378)

The kidneys are two bean shaped organs that sit in our abdominal cavity and help in the elimination of waste components from our body by producing urine.  Along with filtering out acid created by the body's cells, the kidneys also keep the levels of water, salts, and minerals in your blood—such as sodium, calcium, phosphorus, and potassium—healthy. The body's neurons, muscles, and other tissues might not function properly if this balance is lost.

Your kidneys also produce hormones that assist manage your blood pressure, produce red blood cells, and maintain the strength and health of your bones. 

However, the kidneys can get damaged overtime due to many primary and secondary diseases such as nephritis, polycystic kidney disease, infection, prolonged obstruction of urinary tract or chronic kidney disease that may be caused due to other conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. 

A renal function test is a blood test panel that helps to assess the kidneys functionality and diagnose any underlying disease that may be affecting the organs. It is an essential test that is done regularly to keep the kidneys in check as well as monitor the related long term diseases.
