The Iron Status Profile measures all the essential parameters related to iron levels in the body. Anaemia is very commonly caused by low iron as red blood cells are entirely dependent on iron to transport essential oxygen around the body. This test will give you a clear indication of whether you are at risk of developing iron-deficiency anaemia, or if you already know you are anaemic, whether it is low iron that is causing it. Irone deficience anaemia can cause tiredness and lack of energy shortness of breath noticeable heartbeats (heart palpitations) paler than usual skin headaches Serum iron shows how much iron you have in your blood right now, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) anayses the ability of your blood cells to attach itself to the iron in your blood. Transferrin saturation is another way of showing how well your blood is using the iron in your body. Ferritin is a protein that stores iron. If it is low then your iron stores are low. Ferritin is also functions as a very important measure of inflammation so if there is inflammation for any other reason (such as autoimmune conditions, infections or excessive alcohol) it may be very high. If you are low in iron you can treat it is with supplements and diet changes. If you find you are high in iron it may be a condition called haemochromatosis which needs medical follow-up.

The test measures various parameters such as creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). These parameters help in evaluating the filtration rate and waste removal, in the kidneys. You may have this test for several reasons, including: Monitoring kidney health: Individuals with pre-existing kidney conditions or those at risk of developing kidney disease may undergo this test regularly to monitor the functioning of their kidneys. Diagnosing kidney disease: The test can help in diagnosing various kidney disorders such as chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, or kidney infections. Evaluating medication effects: Certain medications can have adverse effects on kidney function. Regular kidney function tests can help monitor the impact of these medications on the kidneys. Assessing overall health: Kidney function tests are often included as a part of routine health check-ups to assess overall kidney health and detect any potential issues early on. Preparing for surgery: Before undergoing certain surgical procedures, especially those involving anesthesia or medications that can affect kidney function, a kidney function test may be performed to ensure the kidneys are functioning properly.

Liver Function Tests are a group of blood tests that are used to check how well your liver is working. The liver is an important organ that helps with digestion, filters toxins from the blood, and stores energy. These tests can help to diagnose liver diseases, monitor the progression of liver conditions, and check for any potential side effects of certain medications. The tests measure levels of different enzymes, proteins, and other substances in the blood that can indicate how well the liver is functioning. Abnormal results from these tests can indicate liver damage, inflammation, or other problems.
