1. CBC

A Complete Blood Count (CBC) test is a blood test used to evaluate your overall health and detect a variety of disorders, including anemia, infection, and more. It measures several components and features of your blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets.

A CBC test helps in diagnosing conditions like anemia, infections, and many other diseases. It is also used to monitor your general health and to track the effectiveness of ongoing treatments. By analyzing the different components of your blood, doctors can gain valuable insights into your health.

The CBC test involves drawing a small amount of blood from a vein in your arm using a needle. The blood sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. The procedure is quick, typically taking only a few minutes, and is generally not painful, although you may feel a slight pinch.

Usually, no special preparation is needed for a CBC test. You can eat and drink normally unless your doctor advises otherwise. It’s important to inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you are taking, as they may affect the results.

The risks associated with a CBC test are minimal. You may experience a slight bruise or discomfort at the site where the blood was drawn, but these symptoms typically resolve quickly. Serious complications are very rare.

2. ANTI PHOSPHO LIPID

The Anti-Phospholipid Antibody Test detects antibodies against phospholipids, helping diagnose antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and assess the risk of blood clots.

A blood sample is collected from a vein in your arm and analyzed for the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies.

No fasting or special preparation is required. You can eat and drink normally before the test.

Results are usually available within 1-2 days, depending on the laboratory’s processing time.

Discuss any abnormal results with your healthcare provider, who will guide you on further tests or treatment options based on your specific condition.

3. ANA BLOT

The ANA Blot Test detects and identifies specific antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) in the blood, helping diagnose autoimmune diseases.

It is used to diagnose or rule out autoimmune disorders, assess disease progression, and investigate unexplained symptoms.

No fasting is required. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you are taking.

Results are typically available within 2 to 7 days after the test.

The test can help diagnose autoimmune diseases such as lupus, scleroderma, and Sjögren’s syndrome, among others.
