    What is a Weight Loss Screening ?

    Excess body fat can significantly increase the risk of several serious and long-lasting health issues. This includes problems such as cardiovascular diseases, arthritis, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), heart attack and stroke, and certain types of cancer. 2,3 On the other hand, sudden weight loss without any effort can also be a sign of serious health conditions. This includes problems such as diabetes, Addison's disease, or hyperthyroidism.

    Therefore, for comprehensive insights into factors affecting body weight, we offer a Weight Loss Screening package that consists of 13 tests and 72 parameters. This includes tests for ferritin, vitamin B12, vitamin D, iron profile, lipid profile, glucose, cortisol, testosterone, liver function, thyroid function, advanced kidney function, glycosylated haemoglobin and a complete blood count. By getting this test done, one can uncover potential health risks linked to unexpected or unintentional weight changes.

    In today's fast-paced city life, such as in Bangalore, it's essential to keep track of your weight due to its significant impact on your health. If you notice sudden weight gain or weight loss, schedule a Weight Loss Screening in Bangalore today. This test will help identify issues related to weight gain/loss and allow you to begin the necessary treatment.

    Ferritin

    Ferritin is a blood test that measures the amount of ferritin in the blood, which reflects the total amount of iron stored in the body. This test is used to diagnose iron deficiency or iron overload.

    Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c)

    The Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) test measures the average blood sugar level over the past two to three months. It helps in diagnosing and monitoring diabetes by checking how well blood sugar levels are being managed over a longer period.

    • Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c)

    Iron Profile

    An Iron Profile is a set of blood tests that measure the amount of iron in the blood and how well the iron is being used by the body. It typically includes tests for serum iron, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) and transferrin saturation. This profile can assist in diagnosing conditions related to iron deficiency or overload.

    • Iron

    • TIBC

    • UIBC

    • Transferrin saturation, Serum

    Lipid Profile

    A lipid profile is a group of blood tests that measures the levels of different types of lipids (fats) present in the body, including cholesterol and triglycerides. This profile is typically used to assess an individual's risk of developing heart disease.

    Thyroid Function Test (TFT)

    The Thyroid Function Test (TFT) comprises a set of blood assessments designed to evaluate the thyroid gland's performance. These tests measure thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), total T4, and total T3 levels, aiding in the detection of hyperthyroidism (overactivity) or hypothyroidism (underactivity) in the thyroid.

    • Total T3

    • Total T4

    • TSH

    Vitamin B12

    This test measures the levels of Vitamin B12 in your blood. Vitamin B12 is essential for maintaining healthy nerve cells and creating DNA and red blood cells. A deficiency can lead to fatigue, weakness, and other health problems. This test can help diagnose a Vitamin B12 deficiency and guide treatment.

    Testosterone - Total

    This test measures the total level of testosterone in the body. Testosterone is a hormone that influences sexual features and development. It is important in both men and women, but levels are usually higher in men.

    Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy

    The Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy test measures the amount of Vitamin D in the body. Vitamin D is crucial for bone health as it helps the body to absorb calcium. Low levels of Vitamin D can lead to bone diseases like rickets in children and osteoporosis in adults. This test helps in diagnosing Vitamin D deficiency or toxicity.

    Kidney Function Test with Electrolytes (KFT / RFT)

    The Kidney Function Test with Electrolytes, also known as Renal Function Test (RFT), is a group of tests that evaluate how well the kidneys are working. This includes measurements of electrolyte levels (like sodium, potassium, and chloride), BUN (blood urea nitrogen), creatinine, and GFR (glomerular filtration rate), which can help assess kidney health and diagnose kidney-related conditions.
