HB, TLC, DLC, ESR

₹400

The advanced diagnostic centre Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy is a NABL- and NABH-accredited diagnostic centre where tests like HB, TLC, DLC, and ESR can be performed on blood. These tests can help to assess the amount of haemoglobin, total white blood cell count, various forms of white blood cells, and inflammation in the body. They contain information that is useful in general health and can aid in the investigation of diseases, such as anaemia, infections and inflammatory disorders.

What are HB, TLC, DLC, ESR Tests?

The tests are done on a blood sample that is taken from a vein, typically in the arm. They work together to enable doctors to monitor haemoglobin, immune system activity, and possible signs of inflammation. An alteration in these blood parameters may be related to infections, nutritional deficiencies, inflammatory states, and some types of blood diseases. The results are evaluated in conjunction with the patient's symptoms, medical history, and other investigations.

Conditions Evaluated

Anaemia

If the haemoglobin is low, it might be a sign of anaemia, which may be caused by a lack of iron, vitamin deficiencies, blood loss or another medical problem. Additional tests may be needed to determine the causes.

Infections

A fluctuation in overall white blood count as well as alterations in the various counts of white blood cells can result from bacterial infection, viral infection, or other infections. These results can be used by physicians to evaluate the body's immune system.

Inflammatory Conditions

An elevated ESR can be a sign of inflammation from infection, autoimmune disease, or any other inflammatory disease. It is also a non-specific test; that is, it will not pinpoint the specific cause of the inflammation without additional testing.

Blood and Immune System Disorders

However, some blood or bone marrow diseases can be linked to unusual or continued variations in haemoglobin and white blood cell levels. Based on the findings, further investigation might be warranted.

Autoimmune Conditions

ESR can also be used with other tests to aid the evaluation of inflammatory activity of autoimmune disorders. In some instances, it can also assist doctors in tracking disease activity.
