Kidney function test is a group of blood tests, which is used to determine how well the kidneys are working. KFT is performed either as a part of routine health checkups or to help diagnose any disease affecting the kidneys. It can also screen people at risk for the development of any kidney disease and even to monitor the treatment efficacy of kidney diseases.

Calcium test is ordered for the general medical examination. It is used as a part of routine health screening. This test may be ordered for someone who has:
Kidney disease, or those with kidney failure
Symptoms of high calcium such as loss of appetite, vomiting, fatigue, weakness, constipation, abdominal pain, urinary frequency, and increased thirst
Symptoms of very low calcium such as stomach cramps, muscle cramps
Other diseases that may lead to abnormal blood calcium such as thyroid disease, parathyroid disorder, malabsorption, malnutrition, or even cancer

Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) measures the rate of sedimentation of erythrocytes (red blood cells) or how quickly they settle at the bottom of a test tube containing a blood sample. Usually, red blood cells settle relatively slowly. A faster-than-normal rate shows inflammation in the body, which could be a result of an infection or injury. Inflammation may also be a sign of an immune disorder, chronic disease, or any other medical condition like arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, or vasculitis.

Liver function test (LFT) is used to assess the function of the liver and is done when any liver disease like viral hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis, and cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) is suspected. This test is also done for monitoring of any ongoing treatment or simply as a part of a routine checkup.

CA 125 is a protein that is present on the surface of the majority of ovarian cancer cells. Thus, women having ovarian cancer will show high levels of CA 125. This test is used to
-Monitor the treatment and recurrence of ovarian cancer.
-CA125 test is done to detect ovarian cancer, to monitor the treatment of ovarian cancer
It is also done to detect a lump (mass) in the pelvic region.

Iron Deficiency Profile is ordered when either deficiency of iron or excess of iron is suspected in your body. The symptoms of iron deficiency are pale skin, fatigue, headaches, weakness. This test is ordered if you have signs or symptoms of iron deficiency anemia like fatigue, weakness, headaches or your CBC shows that your hemoglobin and hematocrit are low and RBCs are smaller and paler indicating iron deficiency anemia. These tests can even be done if you have signs or symptoms of increased accumulation of iron in the body like joint pain, abdominal pain, fatigue, loss of body hair. This profile consists of three tests: Iron serum, Total Iron binding capacity, and percent transferrin saturation.

Complete blood count (CBC) is a group of tests that provides information about your blood group and blood cells like Red Blood Cells (RBC), White Blood Cells (WBC), and platelets. It is routinely performed to provide an overview of a patient's general health status. it is also helpful in detecting a variety of disorders including infections, anemia, diseases of the immune system, and blood cancers and is done to monitor an existing blood disorder and its treatment such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

A diabetic screening test consists of the HbA1c test and the average blood sugar test. HbA1c or glycosylated hemoglobin test acts as an important guide in diagnosing and monitoring your diabetes. Hemoglobin, a protein found in your red blood cells, carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body, and glucose present in our body tends to attach to this protein. This action can provide information regarding the fluctuations in blood sugar levels. HbA1c measures average blood glucose of the past two to three months (the average lifespan of a red blood cell is 120 days). Increased A1c levels indicate the presence of an increase in the amount of glucose in your red blood cells. This test reveals your average 3 monthly blood glucose levels which can help determine whether you are at risk of diabetes or not. Fasting blood glucose test is done to measure the levels of glucose in the blood after a period of fasting. This test is done to screen and diagnose prediabetes and diabetes.

Anti Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide antibody test is usually ordered along with an RF test when someone has signs and symptoms of previously undiagnosed inflammatory arthritis or has been diagnosed with undifferentiated arthritis. Signs and symptoms may include:
-Painful, warm, swollen joints of the hands and wrists
-Pain that affects neck, shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, and/or feet
-Stiffness of joints in the morning that improves during the day

The rheumatoid factor (RF) test measures the amount of rheumatoid factor (RF) in your blood. Rheumatoid factors are proteins produced by your immune system, which attack healthy joints, glands, or other normal cells by mistake. An RF test is most often used to help diagnose Rheumatoid arthritis.

Lipid profile is a group of blood tests that detects the levels of different types of lipids present in the blood. A lipid profile measures cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. It is done to screen for the risk of cardiovascular disease and to monitor patients who have risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.
