An Absolute Eosinophil Count is a blood test that measures the number of white blood cells called Eosinophils. Raised Eosinophils count indicates allergic diseases, infections, and parasitic infection of the gut. It is a part of Complete Blood Count. It is always advisable to go for complete profile, as level of each test in profile are considered while making decision on diagnosis as well as monitoring the treatment.

Bleeding time is a test used to determine how quickly your blood clots to stop you from bleeding. The test is a basic assessment of how well your blood platelets work to form clots. The test helps identify people who have defects in their platelet function. This is the ability of blood to clot following a wound or trauma. Normally, platelets interact with the walls of blood vessels to cause a blood clot. There are many factors in the clotting mechanism, and they are initiated by platelets. The bleeding time test is usually used on patients who have a history of prolonged bleeding after cuts, or who have a family history of bleeding disorders. Also, the bleeding time test is sometimes performed as a preoperative test to determine a patient's likely bleeding response during and after surgery. However, in patients with no history of bleeding problems, or who are not taking anti-inflammatory drugs, the bleeding time test is not usually necessary. Clotting tests (CT) are used to diagnose and assess bleeding problems. This simple test has been used to diagnose hemophilia, but it does not detect mild coagulation disorders. Its chief application is in monitoring anticoagulant therapy. It is rarely used in clinical practice. Also called coagulation time.

Complete Blood Count is a test to measure the concentration of different components in a blood like Heamoglobin,White Blood Cells,Red Blood Cell,Platelet count which determine anemia or other blood infections & ESR is a test which is conducted to check the speed at which the red blood cells precipitate over a period of time.The rate is an indication of inflammation and increases in many diseases.ESR is increased in rheumatoid diseases, most infections, and in cancer. An advanced rate doesn't diagnose a specific disease, but it does indicate that an underlying disease may be present. A physician can use ESR to monitor a person with an associated disease. When the disease worsens, the ESR increases; when the disease improves, the ESR decreases. The ESR doesn't always follow the course of cancer. ESR is called an acute-phase reactant test, meaning that it reacts to acute conditions in the body, such as infection or trauma. The rate increase follows a rise in temperature and white blood cells count, peaks after several days, and usually lasts longer than the elevated temperature or white blood cells count.

A hemoglobin test reveals how much hemoglobin is in a person's blood, helping to diagnose and monitor anemia and polycythemia vera. Hemoglobin is a protein inside red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. A hemoglobin test is done when a person is ill or during a general physical examination. Good health requires an adequate amount of hemoglobin. The amount of oxygen in the body tissues depends on how much hemoglobin is in the red cells. Without enough hemoglobin, the tissues lack oxygen and the heart and lungs must work harder to try to compensate. If the test indicates a "less than" or "greater than" normal amount of hemoglobin, the cause of the decrease or increase must be discovered. A low hemoglobin usually means the person has anemia. Anemia results from conditions that decrease the number or size of red cells, such as excessive bleeding, a dietary deficiency, destruction of cells because of a transfusion reaction or mechanical heart valve, or an abnormally formed hemoglobin.A high hemoglobin may be caused by polycythemia vera, a disease in which too many red blood cells are made.

A platelet count is a diagnostic test that determines the number of platelets in the patient's blood. Platelets, which are also called thrombocytes, are small disk-shaped blood cells produced in the bone marrow and involved in the process of blood clotting. There are normally between 150,000-450,000 platelets in each microliter of blood. Low platelet counts or abnormally shaped platelets are associated with bleeding disorders. High platelet counts sometimes indicate disorders of the bone marrow. The primary functions of a platelet count are to assist in the diagnosis of bleeding disorders and to monitor patients who are being treated for any disease involving bone marrow failure. Patients who have leukemia, polycythemia vera, or aplastic anemia are given periodic platelet count tests to monitor their health. It is a part of Complete Blood Count. It is always advisable to go for complete profile, as level of each test in profile are considered while making decision on diagnosis as well as monitoring the treatment.

Prothrombin time (PT) is a blood test that measures how long it takes blood to clot. A prothrombin time test can be used to check for bleeding problems. The test is also known as the pro time or PT test. The PT test is used to monitor patients taking certain medications as well as to help diagnose clotting disorders.

The PTT(Partial Thromboplastin Time) test is used to investigate unexplained bleeding or clotting. The partial thromboplastin time (PTT) test is a blood test that is done to investigate bleeding disorders and to monitor patients taking an anticlotting drug (heparin). Measuring the partial thromboplastin time helps to assess which specific clotting factors may be missing or defective. This test is used to evaluate hemostasis,liver disease or defective clotting factor.

A reticulocyte count is a blood test performed to assess the body's production of immature red blood cells (reticulocytes). A reticulocyte count is usually performed when patients are evaluated for anemia and response to its treatment. It is sometimes called a retic count. A reticulocyte count provides information about the rate at which the bone marrow is producing red cells. A normal count means that the production is adequate; a decreased count means it is not. This information helps determine whether a lack of red cells in an anemic person is caused by a bone marrow problem, by excessive bleeding, or by red cell destruction.

A Hemoglobin Electrophoresis test is a blood test used to measure and identify the different types of hemoglobin in your bloodstream.Haemoglobin electrophoresis is performed when a disorder associated with abnormal hemoglobin (hemoglobinopathy) is suspected. The test is used primarily to diagnose diseases involving these abnormal forms of hemoglobin, such as sickle cell anemia and thalassemia.

An alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) blood test is a test measures level of AFP in blood . AFP is used as a tumor marker to help detect and diagnose cancers of the liver, testes, and ovaries. The amount of AFP in the blood of a pregnant woman can help to detect problems as spina bifida and anencephaly in baby. An AFP test can also be done as part of a screening test to find other chromosomal problems, such as Down syndrome (trisomy 21) or Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18).

Blood Grouping is a method to tell what specific type of blood you have. What type you have depends on whether or not there are certain proteins, called antigens, on your red blood cells. ABO blood group system classifies four blood types: O, A, B and AB (in relation to erythrocyte agglutination with neither, anti-B, anti-A or both anti-A and anti-B antisera); donor blood must be compatible with the recipient's blood group, i.e. A can receive A and O blood; B can receive B and O blood; AB (universal recipient) can receive AB, A, B or O blood; O (universal donor) can receive only O blood.

Neonatal hemoglobin electrophoresis is a blood test used to measure and identify the different types of hemoglobin in blood in kids. It helps to diagnose diseases (called hemoglobinopathies) involving abnormal hemoglobin production, such as sickle cell disease and thalassemia in kids.

Sickle cell test is a simple blood test used to determine whether or not you have sickle cell disease or sickle cell trait. Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disease that causes red blood cells to be deformed (sickle-shaped camera.gif). The red blood cells deform because they contain an abnormal type of hemoglobin, called hemoglobin S, instead of the normal hemoglobin, called hemoglobin A. Sickled blood cells are destroyed by the body faster than normal blood cells. This causes anemia. Also, sickled cells can get trapped in blood vessels and reduce or block blood flow. This can damage organs, muscles, and bones and may lead to life-threatening conditions.
