Cholesterol and lipid tests

These tests include checking the level of HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides in the blood.

Calcium is required for strengthening the bones and also for the proper functioning of different parts of the body such as heart, muscles, and nerves. However excess calcium in the blood can make a person feel tired, thirsty and might cause them to lose appetite or experience constipation. On the other hand, a low level of calcium might make them feel numb in hands, feet and also around the mouth. This test is also carried out to diagnose intestinal diseases, kidney diseases, thyroid diseases, poor nutrition, bone diseases and maybe some types of cancer.

Different diagnostic centers also arranged home blood sample collection in Chembur and many other parts of Mumbai to carry out these tests. These tests are carried out to check whether a patient is developing diabetes and also to monitor the diabetes condition of a patient.  Patients may or may not be asked to fast before conducting these tests. Many pregnant women may develop a certain type of diabetes which is known as gestational diabetes which usually goes away after the birth of the baby. In these women, the test is conducted during their 28 weeks of pregnancy.

C-reactive protein (CRP) test

This test is carried out in some of the best Pathology Lab in Mumbai and other parts of India. C-reactive protein is generally produced in the liver before they are released to the blood. This test is done to determine whether a patient is experiencing any form of infections or inflammation in the body or whether the patient is responding to the treatment for such infections.
