Lipid Profile (Heart) |
Abnormal lipid in blood |
Through blood sample |
The purpose of lipid testing is to determine whether abnormally high or low concentration of specific macromolecular fat are present.
|
Liver Profile |
Liver |
Through blood sample |
Liver function tests determine whether the liver has been damaged or its function impaired.
|
Lung Function Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) Spirometry |
Lungs |
Non invasive screening test for checking the status of the Lungs. |
PFT checks the volume and capacity of the Lungs. It is very important in patients with Asthma, Bronchitis and also Chronic Smoker. Determines if lung has been damaged or its function is impaired.
|
Lipoproteins A |
Abnormal lipid in body |
Through blood sample |
Lipoproteins are conjugated proteins in which one component is a lipid. They are principal means whereby lipids are transported in the body.
|
Apolipoprotein A1 |
Abnormal lipid in body |
Through blood sample |
The protein promotes cholesterol efflux from tissues to the liver.
|
Apolipoprotein B |
Abnormal lipid in body |
Through blood sample |
Apolipoprotein B is responsible for carrying cholesterol to tissues. High levels of Apo-B can lead to plaques that cause vascular disease leading to heart disease.
