PPBSGlucose is the main source of energy for the body. It is derived from the carbohydrates you eat. After eating, these carbohydrates break down into glucose and enter the blood to fuel the cells in the body. Insulin, a hormone the pancreas produces, helps regulate these blood sugar levels.The PPBS (Postprandial Blood Sugar) test determines how well your body manages this glucose spike. High PPBS levels may indicate that your pancreas is not producing enough insulin, your body is not utilizing the insulin effectively, and the likelihood of prediabetes or diabetes. Consistently high post-meal blood sugar levels can harm your health over time. This test helps identify these problems early so that timely action can be taken.The Postprandial Blood Sugar test helps evaluate how well your body manages sugar after eating food, predicting possible prediabetes or diabetes. It also tells if your ongoing treatment (medications, lifestyle modifications, etc.) works well. Finding diabetes early helps prevent serious complications such as heart disease, kidney or nerve damage, etc.Before the test, eat a healthy meal (not high in sugar or carbohydrates). Take the test two hours after starting a meal. Inform your doctor about all your medications, as some can affect the test results, potentially requiring dosage adjustments or temporary discontinuation.Lab test results vary across laboratories depending on the methodology and laboratory guidelines. Do not self-medicate and always consult a doctor to understand your test results. The insights from the PPBS (Postprandial Blood Sugar) test will help the doctor determine your medical condition, make recommendations for lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise, decide whether or not medication will be required to manage the condition, and formulate an overall treatment plan.

Thyroid Function Test - The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck. It produces T3 and T4 hormones that help regulate the body's metabolism, energy, and functioning of the vital organs. On the other hand, the TSH hormone is produced by the pituitary gland. This hormone acts like a messenger and tells the thyroid gland how much thyroid hormones (T3 & T4) it needs to make. An abnormal level of any of these three hormones can signal a thyroid problem, such as an underactive (hypothyroidism) or overactive (hyperthyroidism) gland. The doctor may advise the Thyroid Profile Total (T3, T4 & TSH) test if there are symptoms suggestive of thyroid disorders, such as hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).Common symptoms of hypothyroidism include weight gain, fatigue, sensitivity to cold, constipation, dry skin, thinning hair, and irregular or heavier-than-usual menstrual periods. On the other hand, hyperthyroidism may cause unexplained weight loss, sensitivity to heat, irritability, mood swings, muscle weakness, hyperactivity, and difficulty sleeping. Doctors also recommend the Thyroid Profile Total (T3, T4 & TSH) for women during pregnancy to check if they have adequate amounts of thyroid hormones. These hormones are important for fetal brain development and pregnancy health. The levels of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) fluctuate due to changes in a protein called thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG). TBG helps carry thyroid hormones to the right parts of the body. The level of TSH can vary, depending on factors like the time of day it is tested. That is why it's better to test TSH in the daytime for more accurate results. No special preparations are needed for this profile. Usually, you do not need to discontinue taking thyroid medication before getting tested. However, inform your doctor about all the medications being taken, as some of them might affect the test results. Lab test results may vary across laboratories. Interpretation of the test results requires expert guidance. Therefore, do not self-medicate, and talk to the doctor to understand the test results correctly.

Lipids are waxy or fatty substances that are used by the body as a source of energy and to support essential functions. While they are vital for overall health, high lipid levels can contribute to heart disease. Lipid Profile is a standard blood test used to determine heart health and detect lipid disorders by measuring various key components, such as low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), triglycerides, total cholesterol, etc.The Lipid Profile helps detect conditions like:Hyperlipidemia – refers to high cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. It can lead to fatty deposition (plaque) in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Symptoms usually do not manifest until a significant cardiovascular event happens.Hypolipidemia – refers to abnormally low lipid levels. It can potentially lead to issues with nerve function and an increased risk of infections.An overnight fasting for at least 8-12 hours is needed before getting tested. You should not eat or drink anything except water for 8–12 hours. Inform your doctor about all medications and any known medical conditions to ensure accurate test results.

The 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D test, also known as the Vitamin D (D2 + D3) test, measures the levels of vitamin D in your blood. Vitamin D is vital for bone health, immune support, and maintaining the balance of calcium and phosphate in the body. This test checks both vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), offering a complete view of your vitamin D status.While vitamin D can be obtained through sunlight and certain foods, factors such as limited sun exposure, poor diet, medical conditions, and ageing can result in deficiency. Low vitamin D levels are linked to weakened bones, muscle fatigue, poor immune function, and a higher risk of chronic illnesses like heart disease.
