    What is a Weight Loss Screening ?

    Carrying excess body fat can significantly elevate the risk of a range of serious and chronic health issues, including cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, heart attack and stroke, arthritis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), high cholesterol, and certain types of cancer. However, unintentional and sudden weight loss can also indicate serious health conditions, such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism, or Addison's disease.

    To gain comprehensive insights into the factors affecting body weight, we provide a Weight Loss Screening package consisting of 13 tests and 72 parameters. This includes tests for iron profile, vitamin D, cortisol, ferritin, vitamin B12, thyroid function, liver function, glucose, advanced kidney function, testosterone, lipid profile, glycosylated haemoglobin, and a complete blood count. Taking this test can reveal potential health risks associated with unintentional or unexpected weight changes.

    In today’s fast-paced urban life, such as in Hyderabad, monitoring your body weight is crucial because it greatly affects your overall health. If you notice sudden weight gain or loss, schedule a Weight Loss Screening in Hyderabad today to identify any underlying health issues and start the appropriate treatment.

    Weight Loss Screening Parameters

    Complete Haemogram/ Complete blood picture (CBP)

    A Complete Blood Count (CBC) is a blood test used to examine your overall health and detect a wide range of disorders, including anemia, infection, and leukemia. Complete blood count test (CBC) measures several components of your blood including:
    • Red blood cells which helps to carry oxygen
    • White blood cells which helps to fight infection
    • Haemoglobin which carries oxygen in the red blood cells
    • Hematocrit (PCV) measures the proportion of red blood cells to the fluid component, or plasma, in your blood
    • Platelets which help with blood clotting
    An abnormal cell count may indicate that you have a medical condition that calls for further evaluation.

    • Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC)

    • Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC)

    • Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC)

    • Peripheral Smear

    • Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)

    • neutrophil lymphocyte Ratio

    Cortisol (Random)

    Cortisol hormone is known to be elevated by stress, but exactly how high it rises to constitute a normal response in times of severe stress is not known. A cortisol test may be used to help diagnose Cushing syndrome, a condition associated with excess cortisol, or to help diagnose adrenal insufficiency or Addison's disease, conditions associated with deficient cortisol. For this test, blood sample can be collected at any time.

    Ferritin

    The ferritin helps in assess the iron levels which is stored in the body.

    Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c)

    The HbA1c test is used to measure the levels of blood sugar (glucose) attached to haemoglobin over 3 months. This combination of haemoglobin and glucose is called HbA1c. Haemoglobin is a component of red blood cells (RBCs) that carries oxygen from the lungs to the whole body. It is usually done once every three months because, typically, the lifespan of a red blood cell is 3 months.

    • Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c)

    Iron Profile

    An Iron panel is group of blood tests which give information about iron is a vital mineral which is required for the formation of haemoglobin in the body. The iron profile analyses total amount of iron in the blood, it also checks to see if the iron is attaching to protein as it should. Iron panel tests are:
    Serum Iron test: This indicates the level of iron in the serum. The thick watery fluid is part of the blood.
    Transferrin test: Serum Transferrin is a protein. It transports iron to different parts of the body. Transferrin test is analysed the concentration of the transferrin protein in the blood.
    Total iron binding capacity (TIBC): It measures the iron binding to the transferrin and other proteins in the blood serum. Total iron binding capacity gives the amount of iron which would appear in the blood if all the transferrin is saturated with iron.
    Unsaturated iron binding capacity (UIBC: It analyses the levels of transferrin present in the body which is not attached to the iron.

    Lipid Profile

    A lipid panel analyses five different types of lipids from a blood sample, including:
    • Total cholesterol: This is the overall cholesterol level—the combination of LDL-C, VLDL-C, and HDL-C.
    • Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol: This is the type of cholesterol that is known as “bad cholesterol.” It can collect in your blood vessels and increase your risk of cardiovascular disease.
    • Very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol: This is a type of cholesterol that’s usually present in very low amounts when the blood sample is a fasting sample since it mostly comes from the food you’ve recently eaten. And an increase in this type of cholesterol in a fasting sample may be a sign of abnormal lipid metabolism.
    • High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol: This is the type of cholesterol that is known as “good cholesterol.” It helps to decrease the buildup of LDL in your blood vessels.
    • Triglycerides: are a type of fat from the food that we eat. Excessive amounts of triglycerides in your blood are associated with cardiovascular disease and pancreatic inflammation.

    Liver Function Test (LFT)

    Liver function is also called as liver profile or liver panel that measures different types of enzymes, proteins and other by products that are made by the liver. These tests analyses the levels of overall health of the liver. The liver performing its normal functions of producing protein and clearing bilirubin, a blood waste product.
    The liver panel test consists of:
    • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST): AST is an enzyme in your liver. High blood levels could be a sign of damage or disease.
    • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT): ALT is another enzyme that helps break down proteins and is found mainly in your liver. High levels in your blood could mean you have liver damage.
    • Alkaline phosphatase (ALP): ALP is an enzyme in your liver, bile ducts, and bones. You might have high values if you have liver damage or disease, and a blocked bile duct, or bone disease.
    • Bilirubin Total/Direct/ Indirect: Your body makes bilirubin when it breaks down red blood cells. Usually, your liver cleans up the bilirubin in your body. If you have high levels of a problem called jaundice, you may have liver damage.
    • Albumin: Albumin is a protein made by the liver that prevents the fluid from leaking out of the bloodstream.
    • Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT): High levels of the GGT enzyme could point to liver or bile duct damage.
    • Total protein: This analyses the sum of two kinds of protein in the blood known as albumin and globulin. The test may analyse the relative levels of albumin and globulin, which is reported as the A/G ratio.
    • Globulins: Globulins are a class of proteins in the blood.

    • Alkaline Phosphatase

    Blood Sugar

    A Random blood sugar (RBS) test is one method for analysing the level of glucose or sugar circulating in the blood. This test can be done at any point in time. It is to check how well the blood glucose is been maintained.

    Thyroid Function Test (TFT)

    Thyroid function test is used to detect for thyroid disorders. This test evaluates the level of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroxine (T4), and triiodothyronine (T3) in the blood. The pituitary gland in the brain produces TSH and send it to the thyroid gland. Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) that controls the production of thyroid hormones.
    TSH is the first tested. The combination of a TSH and tests for the thyroid hormones T3 and T4 is known as thyroid function test or TFT. Abnormal thyroid function, such as underactive thyroid is hypothyroidism or overactive thyroid is hyperthyroidism, that may lead to various symptoms.

    • Total T3

    • Total T4

    • TSH

    Vitamin B12

    A Vitamin B12 test analyses the amount of vitamin B12 in the blood. Having a vitamin B12 deficiency or a low value of this essential vitamin may cause several health issues, including anaemia and nervous system problems.

    Testosterone - Total

    Testosterone total analyses the level of the testosterone hormone in the blood. Testosterone is a sex hormone (androgen) that is found mainly in men, but also found in women in small amounts. Testosterone is found in the testis in males, the ovaries in females, and in the adrenal glands. Testosterone aid in development of secondary sexual characteristics like enlargement of the genitals, body hair growth, development of muscle, and deepening of the voice. This test analyses testosterone levels (both free and bound) in the blood.

    Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy

    Vitamin D helps to our body absorb calcium and phosphorus and maintain strong bones and teeth. While vitamin D3 is naturally made by the body when the body is exposed to sunlight and is therefore called the "sunshine vitamin." Vitamin D1 25, OH test analyses the level of vitamin D and two of its metabolites D2 (Ergocalciferol) and (Cholecalciferol), in blood that is a useful indicator for many bones related issues.

    Kidney Function Test with Electrolytes (KFT / RFT)

    The Kidney/Renal (KFT/RFT) panel, also known as a kidney profile or kidney function test (KFT), is a group of tests that help in determining the health of the kidneys by evaluating various parameters, like proteins, electrolytes, minerals, and blood glucose.
    The most common components tested in most renal panels include:
    • Blood Urea/Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN): The blood urea nitrogen test is derived from the blood urea. Sometimes it is also called urea. Blood urea is a waste product of protein activity. Like creatinine, it is removed from the blood by the kidneys and cleared from the body in the form of urine.
    • Creatinine: Creatinine is the by-product that is consistently formed as a result of normal muscle activity. The kidney removes creatinine from the blood so that it can be carried out of the body in the form of urine.
    • Calcium: Calcium is a mineral that is very vital for the bones, muscles, cardiovascular system, and nervous system. An excess of calcium makes the kidneys work harder to filter it.
    • Phosphorus: Phosphorus is a very essential mineral for the bones, teeth, nervous system, and muscles. Phosphorus is also needed to help balance and use other vitamins and minerals, including vitamin D, iodine, magnesium, and zinc. This phosphorus comes primarily from the foods and drinks that we consume.
    • Uric Acid: Uric Acid test is to analyse a nitrogenous compound that is produced by the metabolic breakdown of purine. Uric acid is also formed from the metabolic breakdown of the same types of food, like red meat, seafood, beans, etc.
    • Sodium: Sodium is an electrolyte that comes from the diet, and the levels of sodium (Na) in the body are mainly controlled by the kidneys.
    • Potassium: Potassium plays a key role in a number of bodily processes, including nerve transmission, heart contractility, cellular transport, and normal kidney function. Potassium is a type of electrolyte. Electrolytes are minerals that enable the acid-base balance, healthy fluid levels, and proper functioning of muscles and nerves. Potassium comes from the diet and is found throughout the body.
    • Chloride: Chloride is an electrolyte that works in conjunction with other electrolytes to carry out several functions, including preserving a healthy balance of fluids.
