The Dengue NS1 Antigen Test is the most accurate blood test for confirming dengue during the first 1–5 days of fever. After 5 days, the Dengue IgM and IgG Antibody Tests help diagnose current or past dengue infection. A CBC (Complete Blood Count) is also recommended to monitor platelet count and white blood cell levels during dengue.
Common symptoms of dengue include:
High fever
Severe headache
Pain behind the eyes
Muscle and joint pain
Skin rash
Nausea or vomiting
Fatigue
If you have these symptoms, consult a doctor and get a Dengue NS1 Test along with a CBC Test as early as possible. Early diagnosis helps prevent complications.
The best blood test depends on the cause of the fever. Doctors commonly recommend:
CBC Test
Dengue NS1 Test
Malaria Test
Typhoid Test
Fever Profile
During the monsoon season, these tests help identify the exact cause of fever and ensure timely treatment.
No. A CBC test alone cannot confirm dengue. It helps monitor platelet count, white blood cells, and hematocrit levels, but a Dengue NS1 test or Dengue IgM/IgG test is required to confirm dengue infection.
If you have a high fever lasting more than 24 hours, especially during the rainy season, you should get tested immediately.
Days 1–5: Dengue NS1 Test
After Day 5: Dengue IgM/IgG Test
Early testing improves diagnosis and treatment outcomes.
A low platelet count can occur in dengue, viral infections, or other medical conditions. Your doctor will interpret the results along with your symptoms and other blood tests.

During the monsoon, doctors commonly recommend a CBC (Complete Blood Count), Dengue NS1 Antigen Test, Dengue IgM/IgG Test, Malaria Test, Typhoid Test, CRP Test, Liver Function Test (LFT), and Urine Routine Test if you have fever or symptoms of infection. These tests help identify viral, bacterial, and mosquito-borne diseases early.
The best initial test is a CBC (Complete Blood Count) because it checks your white blood cells, hemoglobin, and platelet count. Depending on your symptoms, your doctor may also recommend a dengue, malaria, or typhoid test for a more accurate diagnosis.
A CBC test cannot confirm dengue, but it can show warning signs such as low platelet count, low white blood cells, and changes in hematocrit. To confirm dengue, a Dengue NS1 Antigen Test or Dengue IgM/IgG Test is required.
You should get a dengue blood test if you experience high fever, severe headache, body pain, nausea, skin rash, or a sudden drop in platelet count, especially during the monsoon. Early testing helps ensure timely treatment and monitoring.
These illnesses often have similar symptoms, so laboratory testing is the most reliable way to identify the cause. Doctors may recommend a fever profile that includes CBC, Dengue Test, Malaria Test, and Typhoid Test for an accurate diagnosis.
Yes. Many diagnostic laboratories offer home blood sample collection, allowing you to get tested safely without visiting a lab. This is especially helpful if you have a fever or want to reduce exposure to infections.
Dengue can cause the platelet count to fall, increasing the risk of bleeding complications. Regular platelet monitoring helps doctors assess the severity of the infection and decide whether additional treatment or hospitalization is needed.
You should consider blood tests if you have:
Fever lasting more than 2 days
Chills or shivering
Severe body or joint pain
Persistent headache
Vomiting
Skin rash
Unusual tiredness
Low platelet count in previous reports

A diabetes test is a blood test used to measure your blood glucose (sugar) levels and determine whether you have diabetes, prediabetes, or normal blood sugar. Common diabetes tests include Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS), Postprandial Blood Sugar (PPBS), Random Blood Sugar (RBS), and HbA1c.
Doctors commonly use the following tests to diagnose diabetes:
HbA1c Test
Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS)
Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT)
Random Blood Sugar (RBS) (along with symptoms)
A diagnosis is confirmed based on standard medical guidelines and your doctor's evaluation.
Typical blood sugar ranges are:
Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS): 70–99 mg/dL
2-Hour Post Meal (PPBS): Less than 140 mg/dL
HbA1c: Below 5.7%
Your doctor may interpret results based on your overall health.
Typical blood sugar ranges are
Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS): 70–99 mg/dL
2-Hour Post-Meal (PPBS): Less than 140 mg/dL
HbA1c: Below 5.7%
Your doctor may interpret results based on your overall health.
The HbA1c test measures your average blood sugar level over the last 2–3 months. It is widely used for diagnosing diabetes, monitoring treatment, and assessing long-term blood sugar control.
Common symptoms include:
Frequent urination
Excessive thirst
Increased hunger
Unexplained weight loss
Fatigue
Blurred vision
Slow wound healing
Frequent infections
A blood test is the only reliable way to confirm diabetes.
The HbA1c test is considered one of the most reliable tests for long-term blood sugar assessment. However, doctors may combine HbA1c with FBS or OGTT for accurate diagnosis.
It depends on the test:
Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS): Yes, fast for 8–12 hours.
HbA1c: No fasting required.
Random Blood Sugar: No fasting required.
PPBS: Done exactly 2 hours after a meal.
FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar): Measures blood sugar after 8–12 hours of fasting.
PPBS (Postprandial Blood Sugar): Measures blood sugar exactly 2 hours after eating.
Both tests help evaluate how your body regulates glucose.
General recommendations:
Adults over 35: Every 3 years if healthy.
People with risk factors: Every year.
People with diabetes: As advised by their healthcare provider.
Yes. Diabetes is diagnosed through blood tests such as HbA1c, Fasting Blood Sugar, Random Blood Sugar, and Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT).
Common symptoms include:
Increased thirst
Frequent urination
Extreme hunger
Fatigue
Blurred vision
Slow-healing wounds
Tingling in hands or feet
Frequent infections
If you notice these symptoms, consult a healthcare provider and get tested.
The HbA1c test is one of the most commonly recommended screening tests because it reflects average blood sugar levels over the previous 2–3 months. Doctors may also recommend FBS depending on your health history.
A diabetes profile typically includes:
Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS)
Postprandial Blood Sugar (PPBS)
HbA1c
Random Blood Sugar (if needed)
Some comprehensive profiles may also include kidney function tests, lipid profile, and urine tests to assess diabetes-related complications.
They serve different purposes:
HbA1c: Shows average blood sugar over the past 2–3 months.
FBS: Shows your blood sugar level at a specific point after fasting.
Doctors often use both tests together for a more complete assessment.
Yes. Prediabetes can be identified using:
HbA1c: 5.7%–6.4%
Fasting Blood Sugar: 100–125 mg/dL
OGTT: 140–199 mg/dL after 2 hours

Dengue is caused by the dengue virus transmitted through the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito, while viral fever is a general term for fever caused by various viruses. Dengue often causes high fever, severe body pain, rash, low platelet count, and may require specific blood tests for diagnosis.
The most commonly used blood tests to confirm dengue are:
Dengue NS1 Antigen Test (early detection)
Dengue IgM Antibody Test
Dengue IgG Antibody Test
CBC (Complete Blood Count) to monitor platelet and white blood cell counts.
Doctors diagnose dengue based on:
Symptoms
Physical examination
CBC test
Dengue NS1 Antigen Test
Dengue IgM & IgG antibody tests
Early diagnosis helps prevent complications.
Common early symptoms include:
High fever
Severe headache
Pain behind the eyes
Muscle and joint pain
Fatigue
Nausea or vomiting
Skin rash
A CBC test cannot confirm dengue but helps identify signs such as:
Low platelet count
Low white blood cell count
Increased hematocrit
Doctors use CBC along with dengue-specific tests.
The NS1 Antigen Test detects the dengue virus protein in the blood during the first 1–5 days of fever. It is one of the earliest and most reliable tests for diagnosing dengue.
You should get tested if:
Fever lasts more than 24–48 hours
You have severe body pain
You develop a rash
Platelets begin to fall
You live in or recently visited a dengue-prone area
Doctors compare:
Symptoms
CBC results
Platelet count
White blood cell count
NS1 Antigen Test
Dengue IgM & IgG antibody tests
These help distinguish dengue from other viral infections.
The best test depends on the stage of illness:
Days 1–5: NS1 Antigen Test
After Day 5: Dengue IgM Antibody Test
CBC is recommended throughout the illness to monitor platelet levels.
Yes. A falling platelet count is one of the hallmark findings in dengue, although not every patient develops dangerously low platelets.
Yes, some viral infections can temporarily reduce platelet counts. However, platelet reduction is usually more significant in dengue, making dengue-specific tests important.
No. Dengue does not spread directly from person to person. It spreads through the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito.
Most pathology laboratories provide dengue test reports within 6–24 hours, depending on the test and laboratory facilities.
No. Fasting is generally not required for Dengue NS1, IgM, IgG, or CBC blood tests.
Choose a trusted pathology laboratory that provides:
Dengue NS1 Test
Dengue IgM & IgG Tests
CBC Test
Experienced laboratory professionals
Quick report delivery
Home sample collection
The cost depends on the city, laboratory, and type of test. Individual tests such as NS1, IgM, IgG, or CBC are priced separately, while dengue screening packages may also be available.
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience:
Severe abdominal pain
Persistent vomiting
Bleeding gums or nose
Blood in vomit or stool
Difficulty breathing
Extreme weakness
Restlessness
Cold or clammy skin
The NS1 Antigen Test is highly accurate when performed during the first 1–5 days after symptoms begin. Accuracy may decrease later in the illness, when antibody tests become more useful.
A dengue screening panel commonly includes:
Dengue NS1 Antigen Test
Dengue IgM Antibody Test
Dengue IgG Antibody Test
CBC (Complete Blood Count)
Platelet Count
Hematocrit (as part of CBC)
These tests help diagnose dengue and monitor disease severity.

Several blood tests are used to diagnose dengue, depending on the stage of infection. The most common tests include the NS1 Antigen Test, Dengue IgM Antibody Test, Dengue IgG Antibody Test, Complete Blood Count (CBC), and Platelet Count. Doctors may recommend one or more of these tests based on how many days have passed since your symptoms began.
The NS1 Antigen Test is considered the best test during the early stage of dengue (Day 1–5 of fever) because it can detect the dengue virus before antibodies develop. After the fifth day of illness, the IgM Antibody Test becomes more reliable for confirming a recent dengue infection.
Dengue is diagnosed using a combination of your symptoms, physical examination, and laboratory tests. Doctors typically recommend an NS1 Antigen Test, IgM or IgG Antibody Tests, and a CBC (Complete Blood Count) to confirm dengue infection and monitor platelet levels and other blood parameters.
You should get tested as soon as you develop symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, body aches, joint pain, skin rash, or nausea, especially during the monsoon season. The NS1 Antigen Test is most effective within the first 1–5 days of fever, while IgM Antibody Testing is recommended after Day 5.
A CBC (Complete Blood Count) cannot confirm dengue on its own, but it plays an important role in monitoring the disease. It helps detect low platelet count, reduced white blood cells, and increased hematocrit, which are common findings in dengue patients. CBC is usually performed along with dengue-specific tests.
The NS1 Antigen Test detects a protein released by the dengue virus during the early stages of infection. It is the preferred test during the first 1–5 days of fever because it allows early diagnosis and timely medical management.
The Dengue IgM Antibody Test detects antibodies produced by your immune system after a dengue infection. IgM antibodies generally become detectable around 4–5 days after symptoms begin, making this test useful for diagnosing recent dengue infection.
The Dengue IgG Antibody Test identifies antibodies that remain in the body after a previous dengue infection. It helps doctors determine whether you have had dengue in the past and can also assist in diagnosing secondary dengue infections.
The ideal timing depends on the test:
Day 1–5: NS1 Antigen Test + CBC
After Day 5: Dengue IgM Antibody Test
After Day 7: IgG Antibody Test (if advised by your doctor)
Early testing improves the chances of accurate diagnosis and timely treatment.
Yes. Dengue can often be diagnosed on the first day of fever using the NS1 Antigen Test, which detects the virus before antibodies develop. This makes it one of the most effective tests for early dengue diagnosis.
No. A low platelet count alone does not confirm dengue because platelet levels can decrease due to several other medical conditions. A dengue diagnosis should always be confirmed with NS1 Antigen, IgM, or IgG Antibody Tests, along with a clinical evaluation.
The blood sample collection usually takes 5–10 minutes. In most diagnostic laboratories, dengue test reports are available on the same day or within 24 hours, depending on the specific test performed and laboratory processing times.
The cost of a dengue blood test varies depending on the type of test (NS1, IgM, IgG, CBC, or a dengue panel), your location, and the laboratory. For the latest pricing and available test packages, contact PS Pathlab directly.
Yes. PS Pathlab offers home blood collection for dengue testing. A trained phlebotomist visits your home to collect the sample safely and hygienically, making the process convenient for children, senior citizens, and patients who are unwell.
No. Fasting is generally not required for dengue blood tests, including NS1, IgM, IgG, CBC, and Platelet Count. However, if your doctor has ordered additional blood tests that require fasting, you should follow those instructions.
There is no single blood test that confirms PCOD. Doctors diagnose PCOD using a combination of hormone tests, blood sugar tests, medical history, physical examination, and pelvic ultrasound. Common blood tests include LH, FSH, testosterone, DHEAS, prolactin, thyroid profile (TSH, T3, T4), fasting blood sugar, HbA1c, insulin, and lipid profile.
There is no single "best" hormone test for PCOD. Doctors usually recommend a hormone profile that includes LH, FSH, testosterone, DHEA-S, prolactin, and anti- Müllerian hormone (AMH). These tests help identify hormonal imbalances commonly associated with PCOD.
No. A Complete Blood Count (CBC) cannot diagnose PCOD. A CBC evaluates your overall health by measuring red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, and platelets. PCOD diagnosis requires hormone tests and, in many cases, a pelvic ultrasound.
Fasting depends on the test being performed.
Fasting is usually required for:
Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS)
Fasting Insulin
Lipid Profile
Fasting is generally not required for:
LH
FSH
Testosterone
DHEA-S
Prolactin
TSH
AMH
Always follow your doctor's or laboratory's instructions before your blood test.
The cost of a PCOD blood test varies depending on the number of tests included, the laboratory, and the city. A complete PCOD hormone profile usually costs more than an individual hormone test. Contact your diagnostic center for the latest pricing and available health packages.
In many women with PCOD, the LH to FSH ratio is higher than normal. A ratio greater than 2:1 or 3:1 may suggest PCOD, but it is not enough to confirm the diagnosis. Doctors interpret this result together with symptoms, ultrasound findings, and other hormone tests.
Doctors commonly recommend a Thyroid Profile, which includes:
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Free T3
Free T4
Thyroid disorders can cause symptoms similar to PCOD, such as irregular periods, weight gain, and infertility, making thyroid testing an important part of the evaluation.
Blood tests alone cannot diagnose PCOS or PCOD. They help identify hormone imbalances, insulin resistance, and metabolic abnormalities. A complete diagnosis is based on blood test results, symptoms, menstrual history, physical examination, and pelvic ultrasound.
You should consider PCOD testing if you experience:
Irregular or missed periods
Excess facial or body hair
Severe acne
Hair thinning or hair loss
Unexplained weight gain
Difficulty becoming pregnant
Dark patches of skin around the neck or underarms
Family history of PCOD or diabetes
Early testing can help prevent long-term complications.

A Lipid Profile Test is a blood test that measures different types of fats (lipids) in your blood, including Total Cholesterol, LDL (bad cholesterol), HDL (good cholesterol), Triglycerides, and VLDL. It helps assess your risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular conditions. Regular cholesterol screening is an important part of preventive healthcare.
A Lipid Profile Test helps detect high cholesterol before it causes serious health problems. Since high cholesterol often has no symptoms, early testing can help prevent heart attacks, strokes, and blocked arteries. Your doctor can also use the results to recommend lifestyle changes or treatment if needed.
A standard Lipid Profile Test typically measures:
Total Cholesterol
LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) – "Bad" cholesterol
HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) – "Good" cholesterol
Triglycerides
VLDL (Very Low-Density Lipoprotein)
Cholesterol/HDL Ratio (in some reports)
These values provide a complete picture of your heart health and cholesterol levels.
Your doctor may recommend fasting for 9–12 hours before a Lipid Profile Test, especially if triglyceride levels need to be measured accurately. During the fasting period, you can usually drink plain water. However, some lipid profile tests may be performed without fasting based on your medical condition and your doctor's advice.
Healthy adults aged 20 years and above should have their cholesterol checked every 4–6 years. People with diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, heart disease, or a family history of high cholesterol may need testing more frequently, as advised by their doctor.
A Lipid Profile Test is recommended for:
Adults aged 20 years and older
People with diabetes
Individuals with high blood pressure
Those who are overweight or obese
Smokers
People with a family history of heart disease or high cholesterol
Individuals with a sedentary lifestyle
Anyone advised by their doctor for routine preventive screening
High cholesterol usually does not cause noticeable symptoms, which is why it is often called a "silent" condition. Most people discover they have high cholesterol only through a blood test. Regular Lipid Profile Tests are the best way to detect it early and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Most pathology laboratories provide Lipid Profile Test reports on the same day or within 24 hours, depending on the lab's processing schedule. At PS Path Lab, reports are delivered quickly with accurate results, and home sample collection is available for added convenience.
A Kidney Function Test (KFT), also known as a Renal Function Test (RFT), is a group of blood tests that evaluate how well your kidneys are working. It measures important parameters such as serum creatinine, blood urea, electrolytes, and estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) to assess kidney health and detect kidney-related disorders.
A Kidney Function Test is performed to:
Evaluate overall kidney health
Detect kidney disease at an early stage
Monitor chronic kidney disease (CKD)
Assess kidney function in people with diabetes or high blood pressure
Check kidney health before surgery
Monitor the effects of medications that may affect the kidneys
Your doctor may recommend a KFT if you experience:
Swelling in the feet, ankles, or face
Frequent or reduced urination
Blood or foam in the urine
Persistent fatigue or weakness
High blood pressure
Loss of appetite
Nausea or vomiting
Muscle cramps
Lower back pain near the kidneys
The normal serum creatinine range is generally:
Adult Men: 0.7–1.3 mg/dL
Adult Women: 0.6–1.1 mg/dL
Reference ranges may vary slightly between laboratories.
The normal blood urea range is typically 15–40 mg/dL. Results outside this range may indicate kidney problems, dehydration, or other medical conditions and should be interpreted by a healthcare professional.
A Kidney Function Test usually does not require fasting. However, if it is combined with other tests such as a Lipid Profile or Fasting Blood Sugar, your doctor may advise fasting for 8–12 hours.
At PS Path Lab, Kidney Function Test reports are generally available on the same day or within 24 hours, depending on the test profile and processing schedule.
Yes. A Kidney Function Test can help detect kidney disease in its early stages, often before symptoms appear. Early diagnosis allows timely treatment and helps prevent further kidney damage.
Regular KFT screening is recommended for:
People with diabetes
Individuals with high blood pressure
Adults over 40 years of age
Patients with heart disease
People with obesity
Individuals with a family history of kidney disease
Those taking long-term medications that may affect the kidneys
No. A Kidney Function Test involves a simple blood sample collection. You may feel a slight pinprick when the needle is inserted, but the procedure is quick and causes minimal discomfort.
Most diabetic patients should have a Kidney Function Test at least once a year. People with poorly controlled diabetes or existing kidney disease may need testing every 3–6 months, as advised by their doctor.
For a standard KFT, no special dietary restrictions are usually required. However:
Avoid alcohol before the test.
Stay well hydrated unless instructed otherwise.
Follow your doctor's advice if fasting is required for additional tests.
High creatinine levels may indicate:
Reduced kidney function
Chronic kidney disease
Dehydration
Kidney infection
Urinary tract obstruction
Side effects of certain medications
Your doctor may recommend additional tests or treatment based on your results.
Yes. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can damage the blood vessels in the kidneys, reducing their ability to filter waste effectively. Regular Kidney Function Tests help monitor kidney health and detect damage early.

An HbA1c test, also known as the glycated hemoglobin test, measures your average blood sugar (glucose) levels over the past 2–3 months. It is one of the most reliable tests for diagnosing diabetes, identifying prediabetes, and monitoring long-term blood sugar control.
The normal HbA1c range is:
Below 5.7%: Normal
5.7%–6.4%: Prediabetes
6.5% or higher: Diabetes
Your doctor may recommend a personalized HbA1c target based on your age, medical history, and overall health.
No. An HbA1c test does not require fasting. You can have the test at any time of the day, regardless of when you last ate, making it a convenient option for diabetes screening and monitoring.
The frequency depends on your health condition:
Healthy adults: During routine health checkups or as advised by your doctor.
Prediabetes: Every 6–12 months.
Diabetes patients: Every 3–6 months to monitor blood sugar control and treatment effectiveness.
An HbA1c level of 6.5% or higher on two separate tests generally indicates diabetes. If your HbA1c falls between 5.7% and 6.4%, it suggests prediabetes, meaning you have an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Yes. The HbA1c test is widely used to detect prediabetes. A result between 5.7% and 6.4% indicates that your blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be classified as diabetes.
A regular blood sugar test measures your glucose level at the moment the sample is taken. In contrast, the HbA1c test measures your average blood sugar over the previous 2–3 months, providing a more comprehensive picture of long-term glucose control.
The blood sample is usually collected within 5–10 minutes. Report delivery depends on the laboratory's processing schedule. At PS Path Lab, reports are provided as per the committed reporting timeline.
You can help lower your HbA1c by:
Following a balanced, diabetes-friendly diet
Exercising regularly
Maintaining a healthy weight
Taking medications as prescribed
Monitoring your blood sugar levels
Managing stress
Getting adequate sleep
Attending regular medical checkups
Always consult your healthcare provider before making significant lifestyle or medication changes.
Yes. The HbA1c test is considered one of the most accurate and reliable methods for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes when performed in a quality-controlled laboratory. However, certain medical conditions, such as some blood disorders, may affect the results, so your doctor will interpret them in the context of your overall health.
No single food immediately changes your HbA1c because it reflects your average blood sugar over several months. However, regularly consuming foods high in added sugars and refined carbohydrates can increase HbA1c over time. A diet rich in vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, healthy fats, and fiber can help support healthy blood sugar levels.
An HbA1c test is recommended for:
Adults aged 35 years and older
People with a family history of diabetes
Individuals who are overweight or obese
People with high blood pressure or high cholesterol
Women with PCOS or a history of gestational diabetes
Individuals with symptoms such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, blurred vision, or slow-healing wounds
Anyone diagnosed with diabetes who needs regular monitoring
For accurate HbA1c testing and convenient home sample collection in Delhi, trust PS Path Lab for reliable diagnostics and timely reports.
An ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) blood test measures how quickly red blood cells settle at the bottom of a test tube in one hour. A faster-than-normal rate may indicate inflammation caused by infection, autoimmune diseases, or other medical conditions.
Doctors recommend an ESR test to detect inflammation in the body and to help diagnose or monitor conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, infections, tuberculosis, and certain inflammatory disorders.
An ESR test can help identify conditions associated with inflammation, including:
Rheumatoid arthritis
Lupus
Tuberculosis
Osteomyelitis
Autoimmune diseases
Temporal arteritis
Certain cancers
Chronic infections
It does not diagnose a specific disease on its own but supports other diagnostic tests.
Normal ESR values vary by age and gender:
Men: 0–15 mm/hr
Women: 0–20 mm/hr
Children: 0–10 mm/hr
Older adults may have slightly higher normal values.
No. Fasting is generally not required for an ESR blood test. However, always follow your doctor's instructions if the ESR test is being performed along with other blood tests.
The blood sample is collected in less than 5 minutes, and the laboratory usually provides results within a few hours or by the next working day, depending on the lab.
A high ESR is not a disease itself but a sign that inflammation may be present. Your doctor will recommend additional tests to determine the underlying cause.
An ESR test cannot diagnose cancer. However, some cancers, such as lymphoma or multiple myeloma, may cause elevated ESR levels. Further investigations are always required for diagnosis.
Yes. An ESR test can indicate the presence of an infection by showing increased inflammation. It is often used along with CBC, CRP, and other tests to identify infections.
An ESR test may be recommended by:
General Physician
Internal Medicine Specialist
Rheumatologist
Orthopedic Doctor
Infectious Disease Specialist
Pediatrician
depending on your symptoms.
High ESR levels may be caused by:
Bacterial or viral infections

Chronic inflammatory conditions
Lowering ESR involves treating the underlying cause. Healthy habits that may help reduce inflammation include:
Eating an anti-inflammatory diet
Exercising regularly
Maintaining a healthy weight
Drinking enough water
Getting adequate sleep
Managing stress
Avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol
Always consult your doctor before making treatment decisions.
A CRP (C-Reactive Protein) blood test measures the level of C-reactive protein in your blood. This protein is produced by the liver in response to inflammation. The test helps doctors detect inflammation caused by infections, autoimmune diseases, or other medical conditions.
Doctors recommend a CRP test to:
Detect inflammation in the body
Diagnose bacterial or severe viral infections
Monitor autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus
Assess treatment effectiveness
Evaluate recovery after surgery or injury
Measure heart disease risk with an hs-CRP test
A CRP test helps detect or monitor conditions such as:
Bacterial infections
Viral infections
Rheumatoid arthritis
Lupus
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
Sepsis
Pneumonia
Osteomyelitis (bone infection)
Certain heart diseases (hs-CRP)
Some cancers (along with other diagnostic tests)
For most adults, a CRP level below 10 mg/L is considered normal. Higher levels may indicate inflammation or infection. Your doctor will interpret your results based on your symptoms and medical history.
No. A standard CRP blood test does not require fasting. However, if your doctor has ordered additional tests such as a lipid profile, fasting may be necessary.
High CRP levels may be caused by:
Bacterial or viral infections
Autoimmune diseases
Chronic inflammatory conditions
Obesity
Diabetes
Smoking
Heart disease
Surgery or injury
Certain cancers
Yes. A CRP test can indicate that an infection is present by detecting inflammation. However, it cannot identify the specific type of infection. Additional tests may be required for a diagnosis.
A CRP test cannot diagnose cancer. Some cancers may cause elevated CRP levels due to inflammation, but further investigations such as imaging, biopsies, and specialized blood tests are needed for diagnosis.
Yes. Elevated CRP levels can indicate inflammation associated with autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and vasculitis. The CRP test is often used to monitor disease activity and response to treatment.
Both CRP and ESR are inflammation markers, but they differ:
CRP rises and falls quickly, making it useful for detecting acute inflammation.
ESR changes more slowly and is often used to monitor chronic inflammatory conditions.
Doctors may order both tests for a more complete assessment.
The blood sample collection usually takes less than 5 minutes. Test reports are typically available within the same day or the next working day, depending on the laboratory.
A CRP test may be recommended by:
General Physicians
Internal Medicine Specialists
Rheumatologists
Infectious Disease Specialists
Cardiologists
Orthopedic Doctors
Surgeons
A high CRP level itself is not a disease, but it indicates inflammation in the body. It may signal an underlying infection, autoimmune disorder, or another health condition that requires medical evaluation.
You may help lower CRP levels by:
Eating an anti-inflammatory diet
Exercising regularly
Maintaining a healthy weight
Quitting smoking
Managing diabetes and blood pressure
Getting adequate sleep
Reducing stress
Following your doctor's prescribed treatment
Yes. The CRP blood test is one of the most reliable tests for detecting inflammation in the body. It helps doctors identify inflammatory conditions early and monitor treatment progress over time.

An Iron Profile Test is a blood test that measures different iron-related parameters, including Serum Iron, Ferritin, Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC), Unsaturated Iron Binding Capacity (UIBC), and Transferrin Saturation. It helps evaluate your body's iron levels and diagnose iron deficiency or iron overload.
Doctors recommend an Iron Profile Test to diagnose iron deficiency anemia, detect iron overload disorders, investigate fatigue or weakness, monitor iron therapy, and evaluate nutritional deficiencies or chronic blood loss.
Common symptoms of iron deficiency include:
Persistent fatigue
Weakness
Pale skin
Shortness of breath
Dizziness
Frequent headaches
Hair loss
Brittle nails
Cold hands and feet
Difficulty concentrating
Iron deficiency is diagnosed through an Iron Profile Test, along with other blood tests such as a Complete Blood Count (CBC). Your doctor may also review your medical history, symptoms, and dietary habits.
An Iron Profile Test typically includes:
Serum Iron
Ferritin
Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC)
Unsaturated Iron Binding Capacity (UIBC)
Transferrin Saturation (%)
These tests provide a comprehensive assessment of your body's iron status.
Normal serum iron levels generally range from:
Men: 65–175 µg/dL
Women: 50–170 µg/dL
Reference ranges may vary slightly depending on the laboratory. Always consult your doctor for interpretation.
Fasting is not always required, but your doctor may recommend fasting for 8–12 hours before the test for the most accurate results.
The blood sample collection usually takes 5–10 minutes. Test reports are generally available within 24–48 hours, depending on the laboratory.
This test is recommended for:
Individuals with fatigue or weakness
Women with heavy menstrual bleeding
Pregnant women
Children and adolescents
Elderly individuals
People with anemia
Patients with chronic illnesses
Individuals experiencing unexplained hair loss
Yes. An Iron Profile Test helps diagnose iron deficiency anemia and identify whether low iron levels are contributing to anemia. It is often performed alongside a CBC for a complete evaluation.
Low iron levels can result from:
Poor dietary intake
Heavy menstrual bleeding
Internal bleeding
Pregnancy
Poor iron absorption
Gastrointestinal disorders
Frequent blood donation
Chronic diseases
Iron-rich foods include:
Spinach
Lentils
Beans
Red meat
Fish
Eggs
Pumpkin seeds

Consuming vitamin C-rich foods alongside iron-rich foods can improve iron absorption.
Yes. Iron deficiency can reduce oxygen delivery to hair follicles, leading to increased hair shedding and thinning. Correcting iron deficiency may help improve hair health under medical guidance.
The frequency depends on your health condition. People with iron deficiency, anemia, pregnancy, chronic diseases, or ongoing iron therapy may require periodic testing as advised by their doctor. Healthy adults may only need testing when symptoms or risk factors are present.
You can book an Iron Profile Test at PS PathLab, offering accurate diagnostic services, affordable pricing, experienced professionals, and convenient home sample collection across Delhi NCR. Contact PS PathLab to schedule your test and receive reliable reports promptly.
A Ferritin Blood Test measures the amount of ferritin in your blood. Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body and helps assess your body’s iron reserves.
A Ferritin Test is commonly done to check iron stores and investigate symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, dizziness, or suspected iron deficiency.
It helps assess the body's stored iron levels and can support the evaluation of iron deficiency or excess iron when interpreted along with other blood tests.
Low ferritin generally indicates that the body's iron stores are low. It may occur due to inadequate dietary iron, blood loss, poor iron absorption, or increased iron requirements.
Low ferritin may be associated with tiredness, weakness, headaches, dizziness, pale skin, shortness of breath during activity, and reduced concentration.
Ferritin reference ranges vary depending on the laboratory, age, and sex. Always compare your result with the reference range provided on your laboratory report.
Low ferritin is commonly associated with depleted iron stores and can be an important indicator of iron deficiency. Your doctor may recommend additional tests to confirm the cause.
Fasting is not always required for a Ferritin Test. However, if ferritin is being tested along with other blood tests, your healthcare provider or laboratory may recommend fasting.
A Ferritin Test can help identify iron deficiency, which is a common cause of anemia, but ferritin alone does not diagnose all types of anemia. A CBC and other iron studies may also be recommended.
The blood sample collection usually takes only a few minutes. The time required to receive the report can vary depending on the laboratory and testing process.
People with symptoms of iron deficiency, unexplained fatigue, suspected anemia, heavy menstrual bleeding, certain nutritional concerns, or conditions affecting iron absorption may be advised to get a Ferritin Test by a healthcare professional.
Common causes include insufficient dietary iron, blood loss, heavy menstrual periods, increased iron requirements, and reduced iron absorption.
Treatment depends on the underlying cause. A healthcare professional may recommend iron-rich foods or iron supplements when appropriate. Do not take iron supplements without medical advice.
Ferritin is a protein that stores iron, while serum iron measures the amount of circulating iron in the blood. Ferritin is therefore useful for assessing the body's stored iron reserves.
You can get a Ferritin Blood Test at diagnostic laboratories in Delhi, including PS PathLab. Check the laboratory's current test availability, pricing, and sample collection options before booking.
Common symptoms include fatigue, weakness, dizziness, numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, pale skin, difficulty concentrating, and mood changes.
A Vitamin B12 Blood Test measures the amount of Vitamin B12 in your blood and helps identify a deficiency. Doctors may also recommend additional tests such as CBC, methylmalonic acid (MMA), or homocysteine when required.
Vitamin B12 reference ranges can vary between laboratories. Generally, blood levels around 200–900 pg/mL are considered a commonly used reference range, but your laboratory's reference range should be used for interpretation.
People experiencing unexplained fatigue, weakness, numbness, tingling, anemia, or neurological symptoms may be advised to take the test. It may also be recommended for people with dietary or absorption-related risk factors.
Usually, fasting is not required for a standalone Vitamin B12 blood test. However, follow your doctor's or laboratory's instructions if the test is being performed along with other blood tests.
Treatment depends on the cause and severity of the deficiency. It may include Vitamin B12 supplements or injections, along with dietary changes when appropriate. A doctor should determine the suitable treatment.
The Vitamin B12 Test Price in Delhi can vary depending on the laboratory, location, and whether home sample collection is selected. Check the current price with PS PathLab before booking.
You can book a Vitamin B12 Test Near You at a diagnostic laboratory such as PS PathLab. Home sample collection may also be available depending on your location.
Yes. Fatigue and weakness are common symptoms of Vitamin B12 deficiency, particularly when the deficiency contributes to anemia. Persistent fatigue should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
The blood sample collection itself usually takes only a few minutes. The report turnaround time depends on the laboratory and testing process.
A Calcium Blood Test measures the amount of calcium in your blood. It helps assess calcium balance and may be recommended to evaluate bone health and certain medical conditions.
The test may be advised to investigate symptoms of abnormal calcium levels, monitor certain health conditions, or assess calcium balance along with other blood tests.
Symptoms can include muscle cramps, muscle weakness, tingling or numbness, fatigue, and, in more severe cases, abnormal heart rhythms.
Low calcium can be associated with vitamin D deficiency, inadequate calcium intake, kidney problems, parathyroid disorders, certain medications, or other medical conditions.
The reference range can vary between laboratories and testing methods. Your calcium result should be interpreted using the reference range provided on your PS PathLab report.
Usually, fasting is not required when calcium is tested alone. If other tests are being performed at the same time, fasting may be recommended.
Long-term problems with calcium balance can contribute to weaker bones. However, bone health also depends on vitamin D, physical activity, nutrition, hormones, and other factors.
No. A Calcium Blood Test measures blood calcium levels and does not directly diagnose osteoporosis. A doctor may recommend a bone mineral density test, such as a DEXA scan, when appropriate.
Yes. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium. If calcium levels are abnormal, a doctor may recommend checking Vitamin D and other related parameters.
Total calcium measures calcium in the blood, including calcium bound to proteins. Ionized calcium measures the biologically active form of calcium. Your doctor can determine which test is appropriate.
Yes. High blood calcium can occur for several reasons, including certain parathyroid conditions, medications, and other medical disorders. An abnormal result should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
A doctor may recommend calcium testing for people with symptoms of abnormal calcium levels, certain kidney or parathyroid conditions, vitamin D problems, bone-related concerns, or for monitoring specific treatments.
A small blood sample is collected from a vein in the arm by a trained healthcare professional. The sample is then analyzed in the laboratory.
The price can vary depending on the diagnostic laboratory and location. For the latest Calcium Blood Test price in Delhi, contact PS PathLab directly for current pricing and availability.
You can contact PS PathLab to check Calcium Blood Test availability, sample collection options, preparation requirements, and booking details in Delhi.
For blood tests that require fasting, 8–12 hours is commonly recommended. Follow the specific instructions given by your doctor or diagnostic laboratory.
Yes. Plain water is generally allowed while fasting and can help you stay hydrated. Avoid juice, soft drinks, tea, coffee, sugar, and milk unless instructed otherwise.
It is generally best to avoid tea and coffee during the fasting period, even without sugar or milk. Plain water is the safest option.
Fasting may be required or recommended for tests such as fasting blood sugar, triglycerides, and some lipid profile or metabolic tests. Requirements can vary depending on the test and your doctor's instructions.
Many tests generally do not require fasting, including CBC, ESR, CRP, HbA1c, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, and routine thyroid tests when performed alone.
No. A CBC (Complete Blood Count) generally does not require fasting when performed alone.
Not always. Fasting may be recommended in certain situations, particularly when triglyceride levels need to be assessed. Follow your doctor's or laboratory's instructions.
Yes. A fasting blood sugar test is specifically performed after a period without food, commonly 8–12 hours, with plain water generally allowed.
No. HbA1c generally does not require fasting because it reflects your average blood sugar level over approximately the previous 2–3 months.
Usually, routine thyroid tests such as TSH do not require fasting when performed alone. If other tests are ordered at the same time, fasting may still be recommended.
The frequency depends on your age, health, medical history, symptoms, and risk factors. Many healthy adults discuss routine blood testing during an annual health checkup, while people with certain medical conditions may need tests more frequently.
Healthy adults do not necessarily need every blood test every year. A doctor may recommend routine testing based on age, family history, lifestyle, previous results, and individual risk factors.
Not necessarily. An annual health checkup can be a good opportunity to review whether blood tests are needed, but the specific tests and frequency should be based on your individual health needs.
Depending on your health profile, commonly considered tests may include CBC, blood glucose or HbA1c, lipid profile, liver function tests, kidney function tests, and thyroid tests. Not everyone needs all of these every year.
Common tests used for health assessment include CBC, blood glucose, HbA1c, lipid profile, liver function tests, kidney function tests, and thyroid function tests. Additional tests may be recommended based on symptoms and risk factors.
A health checkup may include tests such as CBC, blood sugar, HbA1c, lipid profile, liver and kidney function tests, and thyroid tests. Your doctor can help determine which tests are appropriate for you.
There is no fixed schedule for everyone. A CBC may be repeated when monitoring anemia, infection, certain medical conditions, medications, or previous abnormal results. Healthy people may not need frequent CBC testing.
Cholesterol testing frequency depends on your age, cardiovascular risk, previous results, and whether you are receiving treatment for high cholesterol. Your healthcare professional can recommend an appropriate testing interval.
People with diabetes or increased diabetes risk may need blood sugar testing more frequently. Fasting blood glucose and HbA1c are commonly used for screening and monitoring, with frequency determined by individual risk and medical advice.
Not necessarily. A “full body blood test” package may contain many different tests, but more tests are not always better. Screening should be based on your age, health history, symptoms, and risk factors.
After 30, preventive health monitoring may include tests for blood sugar, cholesterol, CBC, kidney and liver function, and other tests when clinically appropriate. Your individual risk factors should determine the testing plan.
After 40, monitoring cardiovascular and metabolic health can become increasingly important. Depending on your risk factors, your doctor may recommend tests such as lipid profile, blood glucose/HbA1c, kidney function, liver function, and other age-appropriate screening tests.
Depending on age and individual circumstances, women may need tests such as CBC, blood sugar, lipid profile, thyroid function, iron/ferritin, vitamin B12, vitamin D, or other tests when indicated. Pregnancy, symptoms, medications, and medical history can change which tests are appropriate.
Men may benefit from appropriate screening for blood sugar, cholesterol, CBC, kidney and liver function, along with other tests based on age, symptoms, family history, and individual risk factors.
Yes. Routine blood tests can help identify signs of conditions such as anemia, diabetes, high cholesterol, thyroid disorders, and liver or kidney problems. However, blood tests cannot detect every disease and abnormal results may require additional evaluation by a healthcare professional.
A high WBC count means your white blood cell level is above the reference range of the laboratory. It can occur due to infection, inflammation, stress, certain medicines, and other conditions.
Common causes include infections, inflammation, physical or emotional stress, allergies, smoking, certain medications, and some blood or bone marrow disorders.
Not always. A mildly elevated WBC count can be temporary and may occur during an infection. A very high or persistently elevated count should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
For many adults, a commonly used range is approximately 4,000–11,000 cells/µL. However, the reference range can vary between laboratories, so check the range printed on your report.
A high WBC count usually indicates that the immune system is responding to something. The underlying cause may be infection, inflammation, stress, medication, or another condition.
Yes. Infections are one of the common causes of an elevated WBC count. The increase can occur as the body responds to bacteria, viruses, or other infections.
Yes. Significant physical or emotional stress, intense exercise, injury, or surgery can temporarily increase WBC levels.
Dehydration can sometimes make blood components appear more concentrated, which may affect laboratory results. However, a high WBC count should not automatically be attributed to dehydration without considering other possible causes.
Infections and inflammatory conditions are common causes. Certain allergies, autoimmune conditions, and some blood or bone marrow disorders can also cause an elevated WBC count.
You should discuss the result with your doctor if the WBC count is significantly elevated, remains high on repeat testing, or occurs with symptoms such as persistent fever, unexplained weight loss, unusual fatigue, bruising, or bleeding.
A CBC (Complete Blood Count) measures the total WBC count. Doctors may also review the WBC differential, other CBC results, symptoms, medical history, and previous test results.
High WBC on a CBC means the number of white blood cells is above the laboratory's reference range. The specific type of WBC that is elevated can provide additional information about the possible cause.
Sometimes certain blood or bone marrow cancers can cause abnormal WBC counts, but a high WBC count does not mean you have cancer. Infections and other common conditions can also cause elevated WBC levels.
There is no universal natural treatment for a high WBC count. The appropriate approach is to identify and treat the underlying cause. Avoid taking medicines or supplements specifically to lower WBC levels without medical advice.
Your doctor may recommend repeating the CBC depending on how high the count is, your symptoms, and the suspected cause. A single abnormal result does not always indicate a serious problem.
Low hemoglobin means the amount of hemoglobin in your blood is below the normal range for your age and sex. Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. A low level may indicate anemia or another underlying health condition.
Common causes include iron deficiency, vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, blood loss, chronic diseases, kidney problems, certain infections, and inherited blood disorders. The cause should be identified through appropriate blood tests and medical evaluation.
Symptoms can include tiredness, weakness, pale skin, dizziness, headaches, shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, and reduced ability to exercise. Mildly low hemoglobin may cause few or no noticeable symptoms.
It depends on how low the hemoglobin is and why it is low. Mild anemia may not be dangerous, while very low hemoglobin or rapidly developing anemia can reduce oxygen delivery to vital organs and may require urgent medical attention.
Normal ranges vary depending on age, sex, pregnancy status, laboratory, and other factors. In general, adult males have higher hemoglobin levels than adult females. Your laboratory's reference range should be used when interpreting a test result.
Low hemoglobin is usually identified through a complete blood count (CBC). Doctors may then recommend additional tests, such as iron studies, ferritin, vitamin B12, folate, kidney function tests, or other investigations, to determine the underlying cause.
A CBC (Complete Blood Count) is the most common blood test used to measure hemoglobin. It also provides information about red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, hematocrit, and other blood-cell measurements.
Yes. A CBC directly measures hemoglobin concentration and can identify whether it is below the laboratory's reference range. It also helps doctors evaluate other red blood cell measurements that can provide clues about the cause.
Not necessarily. Low hemoglobin is a key feature used to diagnose anemia, but the interpretation depends on factors such as age, sex, pregnancy status, and the laboratory reference range. A doctor may need additional tests to determine the cause.
Yes. Iron deficiency is one of the most common causes of low hemoglobin and iron-deficiency anemia. When the body does not have enough iron, it cannot produce sufficient hemoglobin. Ferritin and other iron studies may help assess iron stores.
Yes. Vitamin B12 deficiency can interfere with normal red blood cell production and may cause anemia. It can also cause neurological symptoms such as tingling, numbness, or balance problems, particularly when the deficiency is significant or prolonged.
Yes. Folate (vitamin B9) is important for producing healthy red blood cells. A deficiency can lead to a type of anemia called megaloblastic anemia, which can cause low hemoglobin.
Foods containing iron, vitamin B12, folate, and protein can support healthy red blood cell production. Examples include lentils, beans, leafy green vegetables, fortified cereals, nuts and seeds, and—depending on dietary preferences—eggs, dairy products, fish, and meat. Vitamin C-rich foods can improve absorption of plant-based iron.
The best approach depends on the underlying cause. Eating a balanced diet containing sufficient iron, vitamin B12, folate, and protein can help when nutritional deficiency is involved. However, persistent or significantly low hemoglobin should be medically evaluated rather than treated with diet alone.
The time varies depending on the cause and treatment. If a nutritional deficiency is responsible, hemoglobin may gradually improve after the deficiency is corrected. Your doctor may recommend repeat blood testing to monitor the response.
A platelet count test is a blood test that measures the number of platelets in your blood. Platelets help your body form blood clots and control bleeding. The test is commonly included as part of a Complete Blood Count (CBC).
For most adults, the typical platelet count range is approximately 150,000–450,000 platelets per microlitre (µL) of blood. The reference range can vary slightly between laboratories.
A platelet count between 150,000 and 450,000/µL is generally considered within the normal adult reference range. Your laboratory report's reference range should be used when interpreting your result.
A platelet count below 150,000/µL is generally called thrombocytopenia. It can have many causes, including infections such as dengue, certain medications, nutritional deficiencies, immune conditions, and problems affecting the liver, spleen, or bone marrow. A doctor may recommend additional tests to determine the cause.
A platelet count below 20,000/µL is considered very low and can be associated with an increased risk of spontaneous bleeding. Counts below 50,000/µL may also require careful medical assessment depending on the person's condition and symptoms.
A hemoglobin test measures the amount of hemoglobin in your blood and is commonly included as part of a Complete Blood Count (CBC).
Normal hemoglobin ranges vary according to factors such as age, sex and laboratory reference ranges. The report's reference range should be used when interpreting the result.
Low hemoglobin can be associated with iron deficiency, vitamin deficiencies, blood loss, chronic diseases and other conditions.
Yes. Hemoglobin is one of the key measurements included in a CBC test.
A standalone hemoglobin test generally does not require fasting. However, fasting may be required if other tests are ordered with it.
Depending on the severity and cause, symptoms may include tiredness, weakness, dizziness, shortness of breath and pale skin.
A Blood Group Test is a laboratory investigation that identifies your blood type based on the ABO blood group system and Rh factor, such as A+, B−, AB+, or O+.
Knowing your blood group is helpful during medical emergencies, blood transfusions, surgeries, pregnancy care, and blood donation. It is an important part of your personal health information.
There are eight commonly recognized blood types: A+, A−, B+, B−, AB+, AB−, O+, and O−.
Generally, fasting is not required for a standalone Blood Group Test. However, if other blood tests are performed alongside it, their preparation requirements may vary.

A routine urine test, also called Urine Routine & Microscopy (R/M), examines a urine sample to check for signs of infection, blood, protein, glucose, crystals, and other abnormalities. PS Path Lab provides routine urine testing to help doctors assess urinary tract and kidney health.
A urine test can help identify signs of UTIs, kidney problems, diabetes, dehydration, blood in urine, proteinuria, and urinary crystals. The results should be interpreted along with symptoms and other medical tests when required.
A Urine Routine & Microscopy test checks the urine's physical appearance, chemical components, and microscopic elements such as RBCs, WBCs, epithelial cells, crystals, casts, and microorganisms. It can help identify abnormalities in the urinary system.
Yes. A routine urine test can show findings that may suggest a urinary tract infection (UTI), such as increased white blood cells, bacteria, or other abnormalities. A doctor may recommend a urine culture to confirm the infection and identify the appropriate antibiotic when needed.
A urine test can provide important clues about kidney health. Protein, blood, abnormal cells, or casts in urine may indicate a kidney-related problem and may require further evaluation by a doctor.
A urine test may detect glucose or ketones in urine, which can occur with diabetes or other conditions. However, blood tests such as Fasting Blood Sugar and HbA1c are commonly used to diagnose and monitor diabetes.
Protein in urine, known as proteinuria, can sometimes occur temporarily due to factors such as exercise, fever, or dehydration. Persistent or increased protein may be associated with kidney problems and should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
Blood in urine, called hematuria, can have several causes, including urinary tract infections, kidney stones, urinary tract conditions, or other medical conditions. If blood is detected, your doctor may recommend additional tests based on your symptoms.
Normal urine is generally clear to pale yellow, with no significant amount of protein, glucose, blood, or abnormal cells. Microscopy typically shows no significant abnormal findings. The reference range can vary by laboratory, so results should be interpreted according to the report provided by PS Path Lab.
Usually, no special fasting is required for a routine urine test. Follow the laboratory's collection instructions, preferably provide a clean-catch midstream urine sample, and avoid contaminating the sample. If your doctor has given specific instructions, follow those instructions.
Depending on your age, symptoms, and health history, commonly considered tests include CBC, Vitamin D, thyroid profile, blood sugar/HbA1c, lipid profile, kidney function, and liver function tests. A healthcare professional can recommend the tests appropriate for you.
Tests such as CBC, Vitamin D, thyroid profile, blood sugar, HbA1c, lipid profile, and kidney and liver function tests may be considered as part of preventive health monitoring. Not everyone needs all of these tests.
A routine preventive checkup may include CBC, blood sugar or HbA1c, lipid profile, thyroid testing, and Vitamin D testing when clinically appropriate. Additional tests can be recommended based on individual risk factors and symptoms.
Common tests may include CBC, blood glucose/HbA1c, lipid profile, liver function tests, kidney function tests, and thyroid testing. The exact tests should be selected according to age, medical history, symptoms, and risk factors.
Vitamin D testing can be useful when deficiency is suspected or when recommended by a healthcare professional. Reduced sunlight exposure during winter can contribute to lower Vitamin D levels in some people.
During winter, people may spend less time outdoors and have less skin exposure to sunlight. This can reduce the body's production of Vitamin D. However, deficiency can have several causes, so testing is needed to determine Vitamin D status.
A CBC (Complete Blood Count) may be included in a routine health evaluation when appropriate. It measures red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, and platelets and can help identify abnormalities such as anemia or certain blood-related conditions.
A CBC and hemoglobin test are commonly used to evaluate anemia. Depending on the results and suspected cause, a doctor may also recommend ferritin, iron profile, Vitamin B12, or folate testing.
A thyroid profile commonly includes TSH and may include thyroid hormones such as T3 and T4, depending on the test ordered. Your doctor can determine which thyroid tests are appropriate.
Common blood sugar tests include fasting blood glucose, post-meal blood glucose, and HbA1c. HbA1c reflects average blood glucose levels over approximately the previous 2–3 months.
Common winter illnesses include common cold, influenza (flu), respiratory infections, sore throat, viral fever, and worsening of some existing respiratory conditions.
Colds, flu, respiratory infections, sore throat, viral illnesses, and some seasonal health problems are commonly seen during winter.
Symptoms may include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or blocked nose, headache, body aches, weakness, fatigue, and congestion.
Increased indoor contact, seasonal respiratory viruses, temperature changes, and reduced exposure to sunlight can contribute to winter illnesses.
Respiratory viral infections, influenza, common cold, and other seasonal infections can occur more frequently during winter.
Depending on symptoms, a healthcare professional may recommend tests such as CBC, CRP, blood sugar, Vitamin D, or other specific tests.
Testing may be considered when symptoms are persistent, severe, worsening, or when a healthcare professional recommends diagnostic evaluation.
Some blood tests can provide information about inflammation or changes associated with infection, but no single blood test detects every infection.
Depending on the cause and symptoms, a healthcare professional may recommend CBC, CRP, blood sugar, or other relevant tests.
There is no single test that is best for every infection. The appropriate test depends on the symptoms and suspected cause.
A blood test may be recommended when fever persists, returns repeatedly, becomes severe, or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms. A doctor can recommend the appropriate test based on your symptoms and medical history.
Not every cold or cough requires a blood test. If symptoms are mild and improving, testing may not be necessary. Persistent or worsening symptoms may require medical evaluation and testing.
A CBC (Complete Blood Count) is commonly used when evaluating fever. Depending on the symptoms, a doctor may also recommend tests such as CRP, ESR, blood cultures, or specific infection tests.
A CBC can provide useful information about blood cells, including white blood cells, which may support the evaluation of an infection. However, CBC alone cannot identify every infection or its exact cause.
There is no fixed number of days that applies to everyone. The need for testing depends on the duration and severity of fever, other symptoms, medical history, and clinical examination.
A persistent cough may require medical evaluation, especially if it is worsening or accompanied by fever, breathing difficulty, or chest pain. A doctor can determine whether blood tests or other investigations are appropriate.
The appropriate test depends on the suspected infection. A doctor may recommend a CBC and, when clinically appropriate, specific tests for particular viral infections.
Some blood tests can help identify or narrow down possible causes of fever, but no single blood test can identify every cause. Other examinations or diagnostic tests may also be required.
No. A CBC provides useful information about blood cells but cannot diagnose every type of infection. Additional tests may be needed depending on the symptoms and suspected cause.
Seek medical advice if fever or cough persists, worsens, or repeatedly returns. Urgent medical attention is needed for symptoms such as severe difficulty breathing, chest pain, confusion, or bluish lips or face.
Winter tiredness can be related to reduced sunlight exposure, changes in sleep patterns, lower physical activity, diet, or nutritional deficiencies. Persistent fatigue can have other causes and may need medical evaluation.
Depending on your symptoms, a healthcare professional may recommend tests such as CBC, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, iron studies, thyroid function tests, fasting blood glucose, or HbA1c.
Low vitamin D levels can occur with limited sunlight exposure and may be associated with fatigue in some people. A 25-hydroxy Vitamin D blood test can measure vitamin D levels.
Yes. Low hemoglobin can reduce the blood's oxygen-carrying capacity and may be associated with tiredness, weakness, dizziness, or shortness of breath. A CBC can help evaluate hemoglobin levels.
Tests commonly used to evaluate iron status include serum ferritin, serum iron, TIBC, and transferrin saturation. The appropriate combination depends on the individual's situation.
Yes. Thyroid disorders can be associated with fatigue and other symptoms. TSH is commonly used to evaluate thyroid function, with additional thyroid tests considered when appropriate.
Vitamin B12 deficiency can be associated with fatigue and weakness. A Vitamin B12 blood test can help assess B12 levels, particularly when other symptoms are present.
A CBC can provide useful information about hemoglobin and blood-cell levels, which may help identify some possible causes of fatigue. However, it cannot identify every cause of tiredness.
There isn't one universal test for weakness. Depending on the symptoms, a doctor may recommend CBC, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, iron studies, thyroid tests, blood glucose, or other investigations.
Consider consulting a doctor if fatigue persists for several weeks, becomes worse, affects daily activities, or occurs with symptoms such as unexplained weight changes, dizziness, shortness of breath, or significant weakness.
Winter tiredness can have several possible causes, including changes in sleep, reduced physical activity, less sunlight exposure, nutritional deficiencies, anemia, thyroid problems, or other health conditions. If tiredness persists, speak with a healthcare professional.
Depending on your symptoms and medical history, a healthcare professional may recommend tests such as CBC, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, iron profile, ferritin, thyroid/TSH, blood sugar, or HbA1c. Not everyone needs all of these tests.
Low vitamin D levels may be associated with fatigue and other symptoms in some people. A 25-hydroxy Vitamin D blood test can help assess vitamin D status when deficiency is suspected.
Yes. Low hemoglobin, often associated with anemia, can cause tiredness, weakness, dizziness, and shortness of breath. A CBC test can help identify low hemoglobin and other blood-cell abnormalities.
An iron profile and ferritin test are commonly used to assess iron status. Your doctor may recommend these along with a CBC depending on your symptoms.
Yes. Thyroid disorders can affect energy levels and may cause fatigue. A TSH test, sometimes along with other thyroid tests, may be recommended when a thyroid problem is suspected.
Yes. Vitamin B12 deficiency can be associated with tiredness and weakness, as well as other symptoms. A Vitamin B12 blood test can help assess B12 levels when deficiency is suspected.
A CBC can identify certain blood abnormalities, such as low hemoglobin, but it cannot identify every possible cause of fatigue. Additional tests may be needed based on your symptoms and clinical assessment.
If tiredness is persistent, unexplained, or affecting your daily activities, it is sensible to discuss it with a healthcare professional. They can determine whether blood tests are appropriate and which tests may be relevant.
There is no single blood test that is best for every person with fatigue. Depending on the suspected cause, tests such as CBC, iron/ferritin, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, TSH, blood sugar, or HbA1c may be considered.
There is no single set of tests everyone needs in winter. Depending on your symptoms, age, risk factors and medical history, a healthcare professional may recommend tests such as CBC, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, iron studies, thyroid tests, blood glucose or HbA1c.
Commonly considered tests include CBC, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, iron tests, thyroid function tests and blood sugar/HbA1c. The appropriate tests depend on your individual health needs.
A 25-hydroxy Vitamin D [25(OH)D] blood test is commonly used to assess Vitamin D levels. Routine testing is not necessary for everyone, so discuss whether testing is appropriate for you with a healthcare professional.
There is no single routine blood test that measures your overall “immunity.” A CBC can provide information about blood cells, including white blood cells, but test selection should be based on symptoms and clinical evaluation.
A blood test cannot provide one simple measurement of how “strong” your overall immune system is. Specific tests can assess particular parts of your health or immune function, depending on the clinical question.
Fatigue can have many causes. Depending on your symptoms, a healthcare professional may consider CBC, iron studies, Vitamin B12, thyroid function, Vitamin D and blood glucose/HbA1c. Testing should be selected according to your individual situation.
A Vitamin B12 blood test measures the amount of Vitamin B12 in your blood. Your healthcare professional may recommend it when symptoms or dietary and medical factors suggest that B12 status should be evaluated.
Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and supports normal bone, muscle, nerve and immune-system function. A 25(OH)D test can measure Vitamin D status when testing is clinically appropriate.
Iron studies can help evaluate iron status. Depending on the situation, these may include ferritin, serum iron and other iron-related measurements. A CBC and hemoglobin test may also help evaluate anemia.
Winter itself does not mean everyone needs a health checkup. However, if you have persistent symptoms, risk factors, known health conditions or are due for routine screening, discuss appropriate tests with your healthcare professional.
Fever in winter can be caused by viral infections, influenza, bacterial infections and other illnesses. Cold weather itself does not usually cause fever; rather, seasonal infections that become more common during winter may lead to fever.
You may develop fever during winter because of seasonal viral or bacterial infections. Fever is a response of the body's immune system to an underlying condition. If fever occurs repeatedly or persists, consult a healthcare professional for evaluation.
There is no single test that is best for every viral fever. The appropriate test depends on the suspected viral infection, symptoms, duration of fever and clinical assessment. Specific viral testing may be recommended when necessary.
A CBC (Complete Blood Count) can provide information about blood cells that may help in evaluating an infection. However, a CBC alone generally cannot identify the exact type or cause of an infection.
Dengue can be diagnosed using specific laboratory tests selected according to the stage of illness. Depending on the timing and clinical situation, a healthcare professional may recommend NS1 antigen testing, dengue antibody testing or other appropriate diagnostic methods.
For persistent fever, a healthcare professional may recommend tests based on the patient's symptoms and medical history. These can include CBC, CRP, urine testing and tests for specific infections such as dengue or typhoid, when clinically indicated.
A blood test may be considered when fever is persistent, recurrent, unusually high, or accompanied by other concerning symptoms. The need for testing should be determined based on the individual's symptoms and medical evaluation.
Blood tests can provide important information about infection, inflammation and other conditions, but a blood test does not always identify the exact cause of fever. Additional tests may be necessary depending on the suspected condition.
The appropriate tests for high fever depend on the symptoms, duration of fever and suspected cause. Depending on the clinical situation, a healthcare professional may recommend CBC, CRP, dengue testing, typhoid-related testing, urine tests or other investigations.
Joint pain may feel worse in winter because of changes in physical activity, muscle stiffness, and sensitivity to weather changes. People with arthritis or existing joint conditions may notice increased discomfort during colder months. Persistent pain should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to bone discomfort and muscle weakness, particularly when the deficiency is significant. However, joint pain can have several causes, so a vitamin D test may be recommended based on your symptoms and medical history.
Depending on your symptoms, a doctor may recommend a vitamin D test, calcium test, Complete Blood Count (CBC), ESR, CRP, thyroid function test, or uric acid test. Additional tests may be required if an inflammatory joint condition is suspected.
The 25-hydroxy vitamin D blood test, also called the 25-OH vitamin D test, is commonly used to assess vitamin D levels in the body. Your healthcare professional can interpret the result according to appropriate clinical guidelines.
Low calcium levels can affect muscle and bone health, but joint pain alone does not necessarily indicate calcium deficiency. A serum calcium blood test may be recommended if your symptoms or medical history suggest a calcium imbalance.
Vitamin D results are usually reported in ng/mL or nmol/L. For most people, levels of 20 ng/mL (50 nmol/L) or higher are considered adequate for bone health by the US National Institutes of Health, although interpretation depends on clinical circumstances and applicable guidelines.
A serum calcium blood test measures the amount of calcium in your blood. Depending on the result, your doctor may recommend additional tests, such as albumin, kidney function, or parathyroid hormone (PTH), to investigate possible abnormalities.
Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to bone pain and muscle weakness, which may affect comfort and movement around the knees. However, knee pain may also result from arthritis, injury, or other conditions. A healthcare professional can determine whether vitamin D testing is appropriate.
Not everyone needs routine vitamin D testing every winter. Your doctor may recommend testing if you have symptoms, risk factors for deficiency, or a medical condition that affects vitamin D absorption or bone health.
Depending on your symptoms and risk factors, tests may include vitamin D, calcium, kidney function, and parathyroid hormone measurements. A bone mineral density scan (DEXA) may be recommended to assess bone density and osteoporosis risk.
Thyroid symptoms may feel worse in winter because people with hypothyroidism are more sensitive to cold. They may experience increased fatigue, dry skin, constipation, and sluggishness. However, worsening symptoms do not necessarily mean thyroid hormone levels have changed.
Common symptoms include increased sensitivity to cold, tiredness, dry skin, hair loss, constipation, unexplained weight gain, muscle aches, and difficulty concentrating.
Cold weather can make symptoms of hypothyroidism more noticeable, but it does not necessarily cause thyroid disease. A thyroid blood test can help assess thyroid function.
Thyroid hormones help regulate metabolism and body temperature. When thyroid hormone levels are low, the body may produce less heat, causing persistent cold sensitivity.
Early signs may include fatigue, feeling unusually cold, dry skin, constipation, mild weight gain, hair thinning, and difficulty concentrating. A TSH blood test can help evaluate thyroid function.
The TSH test is usually the first test used to evaluate suspected hypothyroidism. A free T4 test may also be required. High TSH with low free T4 commonly indicates primary hypothyroidism.
The TSH test measures thyroid-stimulating hormone in the blood. It helps assess thyroid function and is commonly used to screen for thyroid disorders and monitor treatment.
A thyroid profile may include TSH, T3, and T4. Some profiles also include free T3 and free T4. The exact tests depend on the laboratory's package.
Fasting is generally not required for routine thyroid tests such as TSH and T4. However, fasting may be necessary for other tests performed at the same time. Follow your healthcare professional's instructions.
After starting or changing thyroid medication, testing is often repeated in about 6–8 weeks. Once levels are stable, monitoring is commonly done every 6–12 months, depending on your doctor's advice and individual circumstances.
Yes, you can become dehydrated in winter. Cold weather may reduce your thirst, causing you to drink less water than your body needs. Fluid loss through breathing, urination, and physical activity can also contribute to dehydration.
Common signs of winter dehydration include dark yellow urine, dry mouth, headaches, fatigue, dizziness, and reduced urination. Severe dehydration may cause confusion, fainting, or very little urine and requires urgent medical attention.
Dehydration can occur in cold weather because people may feel less thirsty and drink less water. Cold exposure can also increase urine production in some circumstances, while dry indoor air and physical activity may contribute to fluid loss.
Yes, dehydration can affect your kidneys by reducing the amount of blood flowing to them. Severe or prolonged dehydration may cause acute kidney injury. Maintaining appropriate hydration and seeking medical advice when symptoms persist can help protect kidney health.
Yes, dehydration can increase blood creatinine levels by reducing blood flow to the kidneys. However, elevated creatinine can also indicate kidney dysfunction or other conditions. A healthcare professional should interpret the result alongside your medical history and other tests.
A Kidney Function Test (KFT) can help assess kidney function. Depending on the panel, it may include creatinine, urea, and electrolyte measurements. Your healthcare professional may also consider estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urine tests.
A KFT commonly includes blood measurements such as creatinine, urea, and sometimes uric acid and electrolytes, depending on the laboratory's test panel. The exact parameters vary between laboratories, so confirm the included tests before booking.
A KFT can identify abnormalities, such as elevated creatinine or urea, that may occur with dehydration or kidney dysfunction. However, a KFT alone cannot always determine the cause. A healthcare professional may recommend additional tests based on your symptoms and results.
A urine test can provide clues about hydration through urine concentration and specific gravity. However, these findings are not definitive on their own. A healthcare professional may assess your symptoms, physical condition, blood tests, and urine results together.
Possible warning signs include reduced urine output, swelling in the legs or ankles, blood in the urine, persistent fatigue, and nausea. Kidney problems may also develop without obvious symptoms. Seek urgent medical care for severe symptoms, confusion, fainting, or very little or no urine.
MCV, MCH and MCHC are important red blood cell (RBC) indices measured in a Complete Blood Count (CBC) test. MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume) measures the average size of red blood cells, MCH (Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin) measures the average amount of haemoglobin in each red blood cell, and MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration) measures the average concentration of haemoglobin inside red blood cells. These values help doctors evaluate different types of anaemia and other blood-related conditions.
The typical adult reference ranges are approximately 80–100 femtolitres (fL) for MCV, 27–33 picograms (pg) for MCH, and 32–36 grams per decilitre (g/dL) for MCHC. However, normal ranges may vary depending on the laboratory, testing method, and individual factors. Always compare your CBC report with the reference ranges printed on the report and consult a healthcare professional if your results are abnormal.
A low MCV level means that red blood cells are smaller than normal, a condition known as microcytosis. It may be associated with iron deficiency anaemia, thalassaemia or certain chronic inflammatory conditions. Low MCV does not always mean that a person has anaemia, so doctors interpret it alongside haemoglobin levels, RBC count and other CBC parameters. Additional blood tests may be recommended to identify the underlying cause.
A high MCV level means that red blood cells are larger than normal, a condition called macrocytosis. Possible causes include vitamin B12 deficiency, folate deficiency, liver disease, alcohol use, certain medications and some thyroid disorders. In some cases, high MCV may occur without anaemia. A doctor may recommend further tests based on your symptoms, medical history and other CBC findings.
Low MCH and MCHC levels indicate that red blood cells contain less haemoglobin or have a lower haemoglobin concentration than expected. This can make the cells appear paler than normal and is commonly associated with iron deficiency anaemia. Other possible causes include thalassaemia and certain chronic conditions. Doctors may recommend iron studies and other investigations to determine why these values are low.
Yes, low MCV can indicate iron deficiency, particularly when haemoglobin and MCH levels are also low. However, MCV may remain normal during the early stages of iron deficiency, and low MCV can also occur in conditions such as thalassaemia. A serum ferritin test is commonly used to assess the body's iron stores, while other iron studies may help confirm the diagnosis. Your doctor can interpret these results alongside your CBC report.
High MCV levels can result from vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, liver disease, alcohol use, hypothyroidism, certain medications and increased production of young red blood cells after blood loss or haemolysis. Less commonly, macrocytosis may be associated with bone marrow disorders. The cause cannot be determined from MCV alone, so a healthcare professional may recommend additional tests based on your medical history and other blood results.
MCV, MCH and MCHC help doctors identify the type of anaemia and guide further investigations. Low MCV often suggests microcytic anaemia, which may be caused by iron deficiency, while high MCV may indicate macrocytic anaemia associated with vitamin B12 or folate deficiency. Low MCH and MCHC may indicate reduced haemoglobin in red blood cells. These indices are interpreted alongside haemoglobin, haematocrit, RBC count and other clinical findings to help identify the possible cause of anaemia.
A CBC test can identify blood changes that suggest iron deficiency anaemia, including low haemoglobin, low MCV and low MCH. However, a CBC alone cannot reliably confirm iron deficiency because similar changes can occur in other conditions. A serum ferritin test, sometimes combined with serum iron, transferrin saturation and other iron studies, helps assess iron stores and support the diagnosis. A doctor may recommend these tests when CBC results or symptoms suggest iron deficiency.
If MCV or MCH is abnormal, your doctor may recommend a repeat CBC, a peripheral blood smear, serum ferritin and other iron studies, vitamin B12 and folate tests, depending on the pattern of results. A reticulocyte count, thyroid function test, liver function test or haemoglobin analysis may also be appropriate in selected cases. The right tests depend on your symptoms, medical history and the other findings in your CBC report, so it is best to seek medical advice rather than selecting tests based on one abnormal value alone.
An electrolyte blood test measures minerals such as sodium, potassium, and chloride in your blood. These electrolytes help maintain fluid balance, support nerve and muscle function, and regulate the body's acid-base balance.
Sodium levels help assess fluid balance, potassium levels support the evaluation of muscle and heart function, and chloride levels help assess fluid and acid-base balance. Abnormal results may be associated with dehydration, kidney problems, certain medications, or other medical conditions.
Doctors may recommend an electrolyte test to investigate symptoms such as weakness, muscle cramps, nausea, or irregular heartbeat. It may also be used to monitor kidney conditions, dehydration, medication effects, and other health concerns.
The typical adult blood sodium range is 135–145 mmol/L. Low or high sodium levels can indicate an imbalance in the body's water and sodium regulation. Reference ranges may vary between laboratories.
A commonly used adult reference range for blood potassium is 3.5–5.0 mmol/L. Potassium levels outside the reference range may affect muscle function and heart rhythm and should be interpreted by a healthcare professional.
A commonly used adult reference range for blood chloride is approximately 98–106 mmol/L. Chloride helps regulate fluid balance and acid-base status. Always check the reference range provided on your laboratory report.
Low blood sodium, known as hyponatremia, may be caused by certain medications, hormonal conditions, heart or kidney problems, or excess water relative to sodium. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and the severity of the imbalance.
High blood potassium, called hyperkalemia, may occur due to kidney problems, certain medications, or other medical conditions. Sometimes, damage to blood cells during sample collection can falsely increase the result. Significantly elevated potassium requires prompt medical assessment.
Symptoms may include fatigue, muscle weakness, cramps, nausea, headache, confusion, or changes in heartbeat. Some people have no noticeable symptoms. Severe confusion, seizures, fainting, or significant heart rhythm changes require urgent medical attention.
Yes. Dehydration caused by vomiting, diarrhoea, fever, or excessive sweating can disturb electrolyte levels. The effect on sodium, potassium, and chloride depends on the amount of fluid lost and the body's response.
A GGT blood test measures gamma-glutamyl transferase, an enzyme found mainly in the liver. It helps doctors evaluate possible liver or bile duct problems.
A GGT test can help identify possible liver injury or bile duct abnormalities. Doctors usually interpret the result alongside other liver function tests, symptoms, and medical history.
The normal GGT range varies by laboratory, age, sex, and testing method. Many adult reference ranges fall approximately between 5 and 70 U/L, but you should always check the reference range on your laboratory report.
High GGT levels may be associated with fatty liver disease, alcohol consumption, hepatitis, bile duct problems, certain medications, and other medical conditions. A doctor can help determine the underlying cause.
No. High GGT does not automatically mean liver disease. Several factors can affect GGT levels, so doctors may recommend additional blood tests or imaging to investigate abnormal results.
Fasting is not always required for a GGT test alone. However, it may be necessary if other tests are performed at the same time. Follow your doctor's or laboratory's instructions.
High GGT itself usually does not cause symptoms. Symptoms related to an underlying liver condition may include fatigue, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, abdominal discomfort, and unexplained itching.
Management depends on the cause of elevated GGT. A doctor may recommend avoiding alcohol, maintaining a healthy weight, following a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and reviewing medications when appropriate. Do not stop prescribed medicines without medical advice.
GGT is included in some liver function test panels but not all. Confirm the tests included in your chosen panel with your diagnostic laboratory.
If you are looking for a GGT blood test in Rohini or Pitampura, Delhi, contact PS Path Lab to confirm test availability, pricing, sample collection options, and report turnaround time.
Frequent urination can occur due to increased fluid intake, caffeine, high blood sugar, urinary tract infections (UTIs), certain medications, or bladder-related conditions. If it persists or affects your daily routine, consult a healthcare professional to identify the cause.
Yes. High blood sugar can cause the kidneys to remove excess glucose through urine, increasing urine production and potentially causing dehydration and excessive thirst. A blood glucose test may help assess your blood sugar levels.
Frequent urination can be a symptom of diabetes, particularly when accompanied by increased thirst, fatigue, blurred vision, or unexplained weight loss. However, it does not always indicate diabetes. A healthcare professional may recommend a blood glucose test or HbA1c test.
Yes. A urinary tract infection can cause frequent urination, a sudden urge to urinate, burning during urination, and lower abdominal discomfort. A urine routine test or urine culture may be recommended depending on your symptoms and clinical assessment.
Diabetes may cause frequent urination along with increased thirst, fatigue, or unexplained weight loss. A UTI may cause burning, urgency, cloudy urine, or lower abdominal discomfort. Symptoms can overlap, so blood glucose testing, urine testing, and medical evaluation may be needed to determine the cause.
Depending on your symptoms, a healthcare professional may recommend a fasting blood glucose test, random blood glucose test, or HbA1c test to assess for diabetes. Other investigations may be necessary depending on your medical history and examination.
Yes. The HbA1c test measures glycated haemoglobin and reflects average blood glucose levels over approximately the previous two to three months. It is commonly used to diagnose and monitor diabetes. Your healthcare professional can interpret the result and determine whether further testing is needed.
A urine routine and microscopy test may help identify abnormalities such as white blood cells, red blood cells, glucose, or protein. A urine culture may be recommended when a urinary tract infection is suspected. The appropriate test depends on your symptoms and clinical assessment.
Frequent nighttime urination, also called nocturia, can be associated with drinking fluids late in the evening, diabetes, bladder problems, certain medications, sleep disorders, or other medical conditions. If it happens regularly or disrupts your sleep, consult a healthcare professional.
Consult a healthcare professional if frequent urination is persistent, unexplained, or interfering with daily activities or sleep. Seek prompt medical attention for painful urination, blood in the urine, fever, or back or side pain. Frequent urination with vomiting, confusion, or severe weakness requires urgent medical assessment.
Unexplained bruising can occur due to minor unnoticed injuries, low platelet counts, blood-clotting disorders, vitamin deficiencies, certain medications, or liver problems. If bruises appear frequently, become unusually large, or develop without an obvious cause, consult a healthcare professional.
A doctor may recommend a Complete Blood Count (CBC) with platelet count, Peripheral Blood Smear, Prothrombin Time (PT/INR), Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT), and liver function tests. Additional tests may be needed depending on your symptoms and medical history.
A CBC test can help identify low platelet counts, anemia, and certain abnormalities in white blood cells. These findings may provide clues about unexplained bruising, but a CBC alone cannot identify every possible cause.
Yes. Low platelet counts, known as thrombocytopenia, can make it harder for blood to clot properly and may cause easy bruising, tiny red or purple spots on the skin, or bleeding gums. A CBC with platelet count can help detect this condition.
For most adults, the typical platelet count is approximately 150,000–450,000 platelets per microliter of blood. The reference range may vary slightly between laboratories. A healthcare professional should interpret your result alongside your symptoms and medical history.
Yes. The liver produces several proteins needed for normal blood clotting. Certain liver conditions can affect clotting factor production and contribute to easy bruising. A doctor may recommend liver function tests and additional clotting tests to investigate the cause.
Yes. Vitamin C deficiency can weaken blood vessels, while severe vitamin K deficiency can interfere with normal blood clotting. Other nutritional deficiencies may contribute to related blood abnormalities. Testing depends on your symptoms, diet, and clinical assessment.
Yes. The Prothrombin Time (PT) test measures how long blood takes to clot through a specific clotting pathway, and INR standardizes the result. These tests help assess clotting abnormalities and monitor certain blood-thinning medications. They do not detect every bleeding disorder.
Seek medical advice if bruises occur frequently, grow unusually large, appear without an apparent injury, or accompany nosebleeds, bleeding gums, or prolonged bleeding. Seek urgent medical attention for uncontrolled bleeding, severe headache after an injury, blood in vomit or stool, or widespread new bruising with significant illness.
Start with a general physician or internal medicine specialist. They can assess your symptoms, medications, and medical history and recommend appropriate blood tests. If a blood disorder is suspected, you may be referred to a hematologist.
Yes. Heavy menstrual bleeding can lead to iron loss and may cause iron-deficiency anemia over time. Symptoms may include fatigue, weakness, dizziness, and shortness of breath.
A doctor may recommend a CBC (Complete Blood Count), ferritin test, or iron profile to assess anemia and iron levels. Other tests may be needed depending on the cause of the bleeding.
A CBC is commonly recommended to check hemoglobin and red blood cell parameters when heavy menstrual bleeding raises concerns about anemia. Your doctor will determine whether it is appropriate for you.
An iron profile evaluates aspects of iron availability in the body. It may help identify iron deficiency associated with repeated blood loss during heavy periods.
Yes. Significant or repeated blood loss during menstruation can lower hemoglobin levels and potentially lead to anemia.
Common symptoms include tiredness, weakness, dizziness, headaches, pale skin, and reduced exercise tolerance. Some women may develop symptoms before anemia is detected on a CBC.
A CBC can identify anemia and changes in red blood cell size, but it cannot always detect early iron deficiency. A ferritin test is often useful for assessing iron stores.
Ferritin is particularly useful for assessing the body's stored iron. An iron profile measures other aspects of iron status. A healthcare professional may recommend one or both tests depending on your symptoms and medical history.
A CBC alone generally does not require fasting. Iron profile preparation requirements can vary, so follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional or diagnostic laboratory.
Consult a doctor if your periods are unusually heavy, last longer than seven days, interfere with daily activities, or cause fatigue or dizziness. Seek urgent medical care for very heavy bleeding accompanied by fainting, severe weakness, chest pain, or shortness of breath.
Blood test results can differ between two laboratories due to differences in testing methods, laboratory equipment, calibration, sample handling and reference ranges. Minor variations can occur even when both laboratories follow quality standards. Significant differences should be reviewed by a qualified healthcare professional.
Yes, two laboratories may report slightly different results for the same blood test. Differences can arise from the analytical method, instruments, reagents, and sample processing. However, results should meet appropriate quality requirements, and substantial differences may need further investigation.
Your blood report may change because laboratories use different testing techniques, instruments or reference intervals. Your health, hydration, food intake, medicines and the time of sample collection can also affect certain test results. Comparing reports alongside their units and reference ranges can help explain the differences.
Several factors can affect blood test accuracy, including:
- Sample collection technique and timing
- Fasting status and hydration
- Sample storage and transportation
- Laboratory equipment and calibration
- Testing methods and reagents
- Quality control procedures
- Biological changes in the patient's body
Yes, different laboratory methods can produce slightly different results for the same analyte. Some methods have different levels of sensitivity, specificity and analytical variation. Laboratories should use validated methods and appropriate quality-control procedures to support reliable results.
Yes, different laboratory analysers can produce slightly different results because of differences in technology, calibration, reagents and measurement procedures. Proper calibration, maintenance and internal and external quality assessment help laboratories monitor and control these variations.
Not always. Small differences may fall within expected analytical or biological variation. If the results differ significantly, are inconsistent with your symptoms or could affect treatment decisions, consult your doctor. They may recommend repeating the test, preferably under comparable conditions and, when appropriate, using the same laboratory.
Reference ranges can differ because laboratories may use different testing methods, instruments and reference populations. Age, sex and other relevant factors may also influence the range used for certain tests. Always compare your result with the reference interval printed on that specific laboratory report.
To help obtain reliable blood test results:
- Choose a laboratory with appropriate quality assurance practices.
- Follow fasting and other preparation instructions provided for your test.
- Inform your doctor about medicines and supplements you take.
- Ensure proper sample collection and handling.
- Compare results using the same units and relevant reference ranges.
- Discuss unexpected or significantly different results with your doctor.
Incorrect sample collection, delayed processing, unsuitable storage temperatures, haemolysis and contamination can affect certain blood test results. Proper collection tubes, correct labelling, timely transportation and appropriate processing help preserve sample integrity and improve result reliability.
Yes, eating before a blood test can affect certain results, particularly blood glucose and triglyceride levels. Some tests require fasting, while others do not. Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding food intake before sample collection.
The fasting period depends on the test. Some tests may require 8–12 hours of fasting, while many routine blood tests do not require fasting. Confirm the required duration with your doctor or diagnostic laboratory before your appointment.
Drinking plain water in normal amounts generally does not negatively affect blood test results and helps prevent dehydration. However, follow any specific fluid restrictions provided by your healthcare professional. During fasting, plain water is usually permitted.
Yes, insufficient sleep may influence certain hormones, blood glucose levels, and other metabolic measurements. Getting adequate sleep the night before your test can help reduce avoidable variations in some results.
Yes, strenuous exercise before sample collection can temporarily affect certain measurements, including muscle enzymes, glucose, and some liver-associated enzymes. Avoid unusually intense exercise before testing if advised by your healthcare provider.
No, you should not stop prescribed medicines without medical advice. Some medicines and supplements can influence laboratory results, so inform your doctor or laboratory about everything you take before your blood test.
Yes, stress can temporarily affect certain measurements, including blood glucose and stress hormones such as cortisol. If your test requires rest before sample collection, arrive early and sit quietly for the recommended period.
Some blood components and hormones naturally fluctuate throughout the day. For example, cortisol levels generally follow a daily rhythm. Certain tests may require collection at a specific time to help ensure the results can be interpreted correctly.
Get adequate sleep, eat normally unless fasting instructions have been provided, avoid excessive alcohol, and follow any instructions about medicines or supplements. Confirm whether fasting is necessary and drink water as permitted.
To prepare for a blood test, follow these steps:
- Confirm whether fasting is required.
- Follow the recommended fasting duration.
- Drink plain water as permitted.
- Avoid strenuous exercise if advised.
- Inform your doctor about medicines and supplements.
- Follow any instructions regarding alcohol, smoking, and collection timing.
- Inform your healthcare provider about recent illness or other relevant health changes.

Yes, stress can temporarily influence certain blood test results, including blood glucose and cortisol levels.
Yes, insufficient sleep may affect insulin sensitivity and glucose regulation, potentially influencing blood sugar measurements.
Aim for 7–9 hours of sleep if possible, and follow your doctor's instructions for test preparation.
Yes, acute anxiety may trigger stress hormones that temporarily increase blood glucose levels.
One night of poor sleep is unlikely to significantly affect HbA1c because the test reflects average blood sugar over approximately 2–3 months.
Stress can influence hormone regulation, but it does not necessarily cause abnormal thyroid results. Consult your doctor about unexpected findings.
Not necessarily. Inform your doctor or laboratory if you have concerns, and follow their advice before postponing the test.
Sleep disturbances may influence metabolic health, but the effect of one poor night's sleep on cholesterol results varies.
Follow instructions regarding fasting, strenuous exercise, smoking, and medications. Do not stop prescribed medicines without medical advice.
You can contact PS PathLab, at 198 Deepali Enclave, Pitampura, Delhi – 110034, for information about available blood tests and home sample collection.
To read your blood test report, check the test name, result, measurement unit and reference range. Compare your values with the laboratory's reference ranges and consult your doctor for proper interpretation.
H means your test result is higher than the laboratory's reference range, while L means it is lower than the reference range.
A normal range is a reference interval used by laboratories to compare test results. It varies depending on the test, age, sex and laboratory testing methods.
Look for values marked H (High) or L (Low). These indicate results outside the laboratory's reference range and may require medical evaluation.
A CBC report includes haemoglobin, RBC count, WBC count, platelet count and other blood parameters. These help evaluate anaemia, infections and certain blood disorders.
A high WBC count may indicate an infection, inflammation or other medical conditions. Further evaluation may be needed to identify the cause.
Low haemoglobin may indicate anaemia, which can be associated with iron deficiency, vitamin deficiencies, blood loss or other health conditions.
Check your fasting blood sugar, post-meal blood sugar and HbA1c results. These tests help evaluate blood glucose levels and screen for diabetes.
An abnormal HbA1c result may indicate elevated average blood glucose levels over the previous 2–3 months. Your doctor can determine whether further testing is needed.
Reference ranges may differ because laboratories use different testing equipment, methods and reference populations.
Liver Function Test (LFT), SGPT (ALT), SGOT (AST) and GGT are commonly used to evaluate liver health. Lipid Profile and HbA1c may also help identify associated metabolic risk factors.
Blood tests can identify abnormal liver enzymes and assess liver health, but they cannot independently confirm fatty liver. Imaging tests such as abdominal ultrasound may help detect fat accumulation.
Liver Function Test (LFT) is a commonly recommended investigation. It includes markers such as ALT, AST, bilirubin and other liver-related parameters.
Not necessarily. People with fatty liver disease can have normal liver enzyme levels. Additional investigations may be required depending on symptoms and risk factors.
Higher-than-normal SGPT (ALT) and SGOT (AST) levels may indicate liver cell injury. However, elevated levels can have several causes and should be evaluated by a doctor.
Early fatty liver disease often has no noticeable symptoms. Some people may experience fatigue, weakness or discomfort in the upper-right abdomen.
Yes. Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) can develop in people who do not consume alcohol, particularly those with obesity, diabetes or insulin resistance.
Blood tests can help evaluate liver health, but they cannot reliably confirm fatty liver. Ultrasound and other imaging techniques may be recommended for further assessment.
Doctors may recommend LFT, HbA1c, fasting blood sugar and Lipid Profile. Additional imaging or fibrosis assessment may be required depending on individual risk factors.
You can visit PS PathLab, located at 198 Deepali Enclave, Pitampura, Basement, Delhi – 110034. We provide LFT and other diagnostic testing services, along with home blood sample collection. Call +91 96674 92046 for enquiries.
Women over 30 may consider tests such as CBC, thyroid (TSH), Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, iron profile, HbA1c, lipid profile, LFT and KFT, depending on their health history and risk factors.
Important health assessments may include CBC, blood sugar, thyroid function, cholesterol, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12 and iron levels. Other tests may be recommended based on individual health needs.
The frequency depends on individual health, medical history and risk factors. Many women benefit from periodic preventive health assessments, while some may need more frequent testing based on medical advice.
Thyroid testing, particularly TSH, may be recommended if a woman experiences unexplained fatigue, weight changes, hair thinning or menstrual irregularities, or has other thyroid-related risk factors.
Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 tests help identify deficiencies. Iron studies, including ferritin, can also help detect iron deficiency.
A full body checkup can help assess different aspects of health. However, the tests included should be selected according to individual health needs rather than following the same package for everyone.
A Complete Blood Count (CBC) helps identify anaemia by measuring haemoglobin and other blood cell parameters. Ferritin and iron profile tests can help investigate iron deficiency.
Depending on symptoms, a doctor may recommend TSH, FSH, LH, prolactin or estradiol tests. These investigations help evaluate specific hormonal and reproductive health concerns.
Yes, blood sugar screening can be important, particularly for women with diabetes risk factors. Fasting blood glucose and HbA1c are commonly used tests to screen for diabetes and monitor blood sugar levels.
Preventive healthcare may include blood pressure, weight assessment, appropriate blood tests, cervical cancer screening and breast health assessment, depending on age and medical history. Not every test needs to be repeated annually.
NABL accreditation is a formal recognition that a medical laboratory has been assessed for its technical competence and quality management systems against recognised standards. It helps demonstrate that the laboratory follows established testing and quality procedures.
NABL accreditation is important because it evaluates laboratory procedures, staff competence, equipment, sample handling and quality control. These practices help improve the reliability and consistency of blood testing.
NABL assesses laboratories against defined technical and quality requirements. These include testing methods, equipment calibration, staff training, internal quality control, documentation and sample management.
NABL accreditation provides independent evidence that a laboratory meets specified quality and technical competence requirements within its accredited scope. Patients should also consider the laboratory's services, qualified staff, testing facilities and accreditation validity.
ISO standards establish international requirements for quality and technical competence. NABL is an accreditation body that assesses laboratories against applicable standards, including ISO 15189 for medical laboratories. They are related but not interchangeable.
You can verify a laboratory's accreditation by checking its certificate on the official NABL website. Confirm the certificate number, validity period, laboratory address and approved scope of testing.
No accreditation can guarantee completely error-free results. However, NABL accreditation assesses laboratory competence and quality management practices that help support accurate and reliable testing.
Patients may prefer an accredited pathology lab because it has undergone independent assessment of its technical competence and quality management systems. This provides additional confidence in its testing processes and reports.
NABL accredits medical testing laboratories according to ISO 15189, which specifies requirements for medical laboratory quality and competence. The applicable NABL criteria and requirements also form part of the assessment.
NABL accreditation involves independent assessment of laboratory processes, technical competence and quality management. This helps patients and healthcare professionals have greater confidence in the laboratory's testing services and reporting procedures.
Sudden weight gain without dietary changes may be associated with thyroid disorders, hormonal fluctuations, stress, poor sleep, reduced physical activity or fluid retention. Consult a healthcare professional to identify the possible cause.
Depending on your symptoms, a doctor may recommend TSH, Free T3, Free T4, HbA1c, fasting blood sugar, lipid profile, liver function test (LFT) and kidney function test (KFT).
Yes. Hypothyroidism, or an underactive thyroid, can slow down metabolism and contribute to weight gain. A thyroid profile, particularly TSH and Free T4, can help evaluate thyroid function.
Thyroid hormone imbalance, insulin-related metabolic disturbances and certain reproductive or adrenal hormone disorders may contribute to weight changes. Appropriate testing depends on individual symptoms.
Yes. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is associated with insulin resistance and hormonal changes that can contribute to weight gain, particularly around the abdomen.
Insulin resistance can be associated with metabolic changes and may make weight management more difficult. A doctor may recommend HbA1c, fasting blood sugar or other investigations depending on your health condition.
There is no single test that checks every hormone. Depending on symptoms, a doctor may recommend TSH, Free T3, Free T4, cortisol, insulin, testosterone or other specific hormone tests.
Yes. Certain kidney conditions can cause fluid retention, resulting in sudden weight gain and swelling in the feet, ankles or face. Kidney function tests can help evaluate kidney health.
The TSH test is commonly used as the initial test to evaluate thyroid function. Free T4 may also be recommended to investigate suspected hypothyroidism.
Consult a doctor if you experience persistent or unexplained weight gain, unusual fatigue, swelling, menstrual irregularities or other concerning symptoms. Rapid weight gain with breathlessness or significant swelling requires prompt medical attention.
Adults over 40 may benefit from health assessments such as CBC, blood sugar, HbA1c, lipid profile, liver function test (LFT), kidney function test (KFT) and thyroid testing, depending on their medical history and risk factors.
Commonly considered tests include CBC, fasting blood sugar, HbA1c, lipid profile, LFT, KFT and thyroid profile. Your doctor can recommend the appropriate tests based on your health condition.
Adults over 40 should have regular preventive health assessments. The frequency of individual tests depends on age, medical history, family history and existing health conditions.
Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) and HbA1c are commonly used to identify diabetes and prediabetes. A healthcare professional can recommend testing based on individual risk factors.
An annual preventive health consultation can help review your health status. However, not everyone needs every diagnostic test annually. Testing frequency should be personalised according to medical advice.
Men over 40 may need blood pressure screening, blood sugar testing, HbA1c, lipid profile and other tests based on their health risks. Colorectal cancer screening and prostate health discussions may also be appropriate.
Women over 40 may benefit from blood sugar testing, lipid profile and other clinically indicated blood tests. Breast cancer and cervical cancer screenings should also be considered according to age and screening guidelines.
A Complete Blood Count (CBC) evaluates red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. It can help identify anaemia, infections and certain blood abnormalities when interpreted alongside symptoms and medical history.
A lipid profile measures total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglycerides. It helps healthcare professionals assess cardiovascular risk and recommend appropriate preventive measures.
A Kidney Function Test (KFT) evaluates parameters such as creatinine and urea, while a Liver Function Test (LFT) measures liver enzymes and proteins. These tests help assess kidney and liver health.
