Lipid Profile – Measures cholesterol (LDL, HDL), triglycerides (heart disease risk).
Liver Function Tests (LFTs) – ALT, AST, ALP, bilirubin (liver health).
Kidney Function Tests (KFTs) – Creatinine, Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), eGFR.
Thyroid Function Tests (TFTs) – TSH, Free T3, Free T4 (thyroid disorders).
Vitamin D & B12 Levels – Detects deficiencies linked to fatigue, bone health, and immunity.
Electrolytes Panel – Sodium, potassium, chloride (hydration & kidney function).
Inflammatory Markers – CRP (C-reactive protein) for inflammation.
Iron Studies – Serum iron, ferritin (iron deficiency anemia).
– Cardiac Markers (Troponin, Homocysteine)
– Hormonal Tests (Cortisol, Testosterone, Estrogen)
– Cancer Markers (PSA for prostate cancer, CA-125 for ovarian cancer)
