    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 Bangalore today to identify any underlying health issues and start the appropriate treatment.

    Cortisol (Random)

    This test measures the level of cortisol, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that helps regulate the body's response to stress, at a single point in time. It can help diagnose disorders related to the adrenal glands, such as Cushing's syndrome or Addison's disease.

    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.

    • HDL Cholesterol

    • Cholesterol

    • Triglycerides (TGL)

    • VLDL

    • Cholesterol:HDL

    • LDL:HDL

    • LDL Cholesterol (Calculated)

    Liver Function Test (LFT)

    The Liver Function Test (LFT) is a group of tests used to evaluate the health of your liver. It measures the levels of proteins, liver enzymes, and bilirubin in your blood. An LFT can help diagnose liver diseases such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, or liver cancer.

    • Alkaline Phosphatase

    • SGOT / AST - Aspartate AminoTransferase

    • Alanine AminoTransferase/ ALT (SGPT)

    • Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT)

    • Total Bilirubin

    • Direct Bilirubin

    • Indirect Bilirubin

    • Total protein

    • ALBUMIN

    • Globulin

    • A:G ratio

    Blood Sugar

    This test measures the amount of glucose, or sugar, in the blood. It's typically used to screen for, diagnose, or monitor diabetes. It can be done in a fasting state, randomly or post-meal (postprandial).

    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.

    • Urea

    • Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)
