Other Blood Tests Helping to Serve Your Health Besides CBC Many other tests are available that might help to take care of the body and are a must for some medical diagnoses. Lipid Panel - Growing cholesterol is a major concern nowadays, especially with so many heart attack reports now and then. This test gives a detailed description of cholesterol levels, whether good or bad. It also states about triglycerides that reveal the possibility of heart hazards or attack. Metabolic Panel - Checking glucose in the body, electrolytes, processing and kidney function, everything is checked through this test. It might help to detect kidney issues, diabetes and abnormal mineral levels. Thyroid Function Test - Thyroid hormones need to be monitored if one is facing some related health issues or undergoing some treatment. This test explains thyroid function and reveals if the thyroid is normal, high or low. Both underactive and overactive thyroids are equally unhealthy for the body. Blood Clotting Test - Factors like international normalised ratio, activated partial thromboplastin time, and prothrombin help to learn about the blood clotting potential.

This test covers everything and informs about any possible danger like hepatitis, liver issues and cirrhosis. Every test has some importance, and doctors often advise you to know more about your health and to clear any possible health doubts you have. Major Differences Between Other Blood Tests and CBC Check these differences between the two of them: 1. When you decide to take the CBC test, you are looking towards a comprehensive overview of WBC, RBC, Platelets, haematocrit and haemoglobin. Other tests like the lipid panel, thyroid function test, metabolic panel, liver function tests, and blood clotting tests focus on fixed parameters and have limited health updates. 2. When you do a CBC test, detecting infections, immune system disorders, some cancers, anaemia, etc, becomes easy, whereas when you choose other blood tests, the diagnosis is test-specific. 3. A CBC test is done either during normal checkups or when someone faces health hazards like fatigue, infection, fever and more, whereas the other set of tests is advised to monitor some disease or treatment and to make a guide map for treatment. Each test has a purpose and delivers unique insights into a particular health area or issues. Knowing about them is a must. Who Should Do These Tests?

Tests become essential during these circumstances: * The CBC test is suggested when the patient is feeling fatigued, has an infection, bruising or weakness. * For diabetic and related problems, metabolic panels are suggested. * Those who have cardiovascular issues must go for lipid panels. * Liver-related issues like inflammation, fatty liver, and more can be detected by taking a liver function test. * The thyroid functioning test is essential to know if your thyroid glands are functioning normally or are facing some issues. * Blood clotting tests go with their name and are done to know and monitor people suffering from abnormal bleeding or regularly taking blood-thinning medicine.
