Significance of Each Test in Comprehensive Obesity Package
- Cortisol Basal: To assist in the diagnosis of medical conditions causing either an excess or deficit of cortisol, a cortisol test is recommended. Among these illnesses are ailments affecting the adrenal glands.
- Glucose (Fasting): This test is used to analyze your diabetes status (non-diabetic, prediabetic, or diabetic) based on your blood sugar levels after fasting for around 10-12 hours.
- Lipid Profile: This blood test helps to determine your total blood cholesterol level, HDL-cholesterol (good cholesterol), and the level of LDL-cholesterol (bad cholesterol). It can help to analyze your risk of getting high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, and other heart diseases.
- Creatinine: The creatinine test assesses kidney function, with elevated levels indicating potential kidney issues. Since poor kidney health is linked to higher cardiovascular risk, this test indirectly helps evaluate heart health.
- Complete Blood Count (CBC/Hemogram): It is a blood test that measures the concentration, volume, and size of all-blood components, including red blood cells, hemoglobin, white blood cells, and platelets.
- Free Thyroid Profile (FT3, FT4, TSH): This test helps in measuring the thyroid hormone levels in free form. It helps to determine whether the thyroid hormone levels are in a normal range or not.
- Uric Acid: The uric acid test is helpful to measure your uric acid levels if you have a health issue that can contribute to or be caused by high levels of uric acid. Gout can be caused by high uric acid levels, so you should take steps to reduce it. A uric acid blood test, which determines the amount of uric acid in your blood, is necessary for further analysis if you are experiencing gout symptoms.
- 25- Hydroxy Vitamin D3: Vitamin D3 is important for various body functions especially calcium absorption and bone strengthening. This test helps in determining the levels of this vitamin.
- SGPT (ALT): This test determines the level of the blood enzyme alanine aminotransferase (ALT). The majority of ALT, formerly known as SGPT, is present in your liver cells. This enzyme gets released into your bloodstream when your liver cells are damaged. Elevated levels indicate hepatic impairment.
- SGOT (AST): Aspartate aminotransferase, or aspartate transferase, levels in the blood are measured in the aspartate aminotransferase (AST) test, which checks for liver damage.
- Magnesium: Magnesium is critical for various body functions, including regulating muscle and nerve function, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels. It also helps in DNA synthesis. This test helps in determining the levels of this mineral.
