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. Why is fasting required before a Cholesterol Test?
Fasting helps obtain accurate measurements of cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
3. ELECTROLYTES
The ELECTROLYTES Test helps diagnose and monitor conditions such as dehydration, kidney diseases, and metabolic disorders by assessing essential mineral levels.
No special preparation is typically needed, but inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you are taking.
Abnormal electrolyte levels can indicate dehydration, kidney disorders, heart conditions, diabetes complications, or metabolic imbalances.
Results are usually available within a few hours to a day after the blood sample is collected.
