Jaundice Test

A complete blood count (CBC) is a blood test that provides information about various components of the blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

• CBC can help detect a wide range of diseases and conditions, including anemia, infections, leukemia, and other blood disorders.
• Abnormal CBC results may also indicate underlying health problems such as liver or kidney disease, inflammatory disorders, and autoimmune diseases.
• Changes in CBC parameters over time can help monitor disease progression and the effectiveness of treatment.
• CBC is a useful screening tool that can help identify potential health issues, but it is not a definitive diagnostic test.

The Bilirubin Test is a blood test that measures the levels of bilirubin, a yellow pigment produced during the breakdown of red blood cells.

• It is commonly used to evaluate liver function and diagnose conditions such as jaundice, liver disease, or other disorders affecting the liver or bile ducts.
• Bilirubin levels can help identify the cause of the yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice) and monitor the effectiveness of treatment.

A Liver Function Test is performed to evaluate liver health, diagnose liver diseases such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, or fatty liver disease, and monitor the effectiveness of treatment.

• It helps assess liver function, determine the cause of symptoms like jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), abdominal pain, or unexplained weight loss, and evaluate the impact of certain medications or liver-toxic substances.

An Indirect Bilirubin Test measures the amount of unconjugated bilirubin in the bloodstream, which is a waste product formed when red blood cells break down. It's an essential test to diagnose various liver and blood disorders. Elevated indirect bilirubin levels can indicate conditions such as jaundice, hemolysis, or Gilbert's syndrome. The test helps in monitoring liver function and identifying potential health issues.
