CBC, LFT, KFT

Complete Blood Count Test (CBC)

A complete blood count or CBC test is a blood test that is used to check the overall health of an individual and to diagnose a wide range of diseases, such as anemia, infection, and leukemia. A CBC test that shows abnormal changes in the level of cell counts may suggest that an individual may have an underlying medical condition that needs to be examined further. If an individual is experiencing weakness, exhaustion, fever, inflammation, discoloration of the skin, or bleeding, their doctor may recommend a CBC. Besides, if the person is taking medications that impact blood cell counts, a complete blood count might help to monitor any negative influence on the blood count.

Kidney Function Test (KFT)

A kidney function test is performed to determine the overall health of the kidneys and their functioning. Depending on the kidney function test being performed, a blood sample urine sample or both will be collected for testing. A kidney function test is generally prescribed for the diagnosis of certain symptoms that indicate kidney disease, to monitor the efficacy of a treatment plan, to monitor the side effects of certain medications, or if a person is suffering from a health condition that may affect the kidneys. Regular testing can help with the early detection of kidney diseases and is crucial for people with high-risk factors of developing kidney diseases.

Liver Function Test(LFT)

An LFT profile is performed to check the functions and overall health of the liver. The test may be prescribed by a doctor to:

• Determine the damage caused to the liver because of heavy alcohol use or by a liver disorder like hepatitis B or C.
• Monitor the efficacy of a liver disease treatment plan.
• Monitor the side effects of certain medications.
• Diagnose the symptoms of liver disease.
• The LFT profile may also be prescribed as a part of a regular full body health check-up or if a person has high-risk factors for developing liver diseases, like family history, excessive alcohol consumption, a history of IV drug use, or being overweight or obese.
