SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)
What is an SHBG blood test?
This test measures the levels of SHBG in your blood. SHBG stands for sex hormone binding globulin. It’s a protein made by the liver and attaches itself to sex hormones found in both men and women. These hormones are:Testosterone, the main sex hormone in men
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), another male sex hormone
Estradiol, a form of estrogen, the main sex hormone in women
SHBG controls how much of these hormones are delivered to the body’s tissues. Although SHBG attaches to all three of these hormones, an SHBG test is mostly used to look at testosterone. SHBG levels can show if there is too much or too little testosterone being used by the body. What is it used for?
An SHBG test is most often used to find out how much testosterone is going to the body’s tissues. Testosterone levels can be measured in a separate test called total testosterone. This test shows how much testosterone is in the body, but not how much is being used by the body.Sometimes a total testosterone test is enough to make a diagnosis. But some people have symptoms of too much or too little of the hormone that the total testosterone test results can’t explain. In these cases, an SHBG test may be ordered to provide more information about how much testosterone is available to the body.

Lung Function test
Lung function tests, also known as pulmonary function tests, or PFTs, are a group of tests that check to see if your lungs are working right. The tests look for:
How much air your lungs can hold
How well you move air in and out of your lungs
How well the lungs move oxygen into your bloodstream. Your blood cells need oxygen to grow and stay healthy.
There are several types of lung function tests. They include:Spirometry. the most common type of lung function test. It measures how much and how quickly you can move air in and out of your lungs.
Lung volume test. also known as body plethysmography. This test measures the amount of air you can hold in your lungs and the amount of air that remains after you exhale (breathe out) as much as you can.
Gas diffusion test. This test measures how oxygen and other gases move from the lungs to the bloodstream.
Exercise stress test. This test looks at how exercise affects lung function.₹1,000.00Add to cart -

IGF BP3
Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) is the main carrier of somatomedin C (also called insulin-like growth factor-1, or IGF-1) in the body. Blood levels of both these proteins are controlled by human growth hormone (hGH), a hormone that’s produced by the pituitary gland, a pea-sized gland in the brain that works with the endocrine system. The pituitary gland regulates growth and the function of other glands.
But IGFBP-3 is more than just a transporter. It also helps extend the life of somatomedin C in the blood and helps control its effects on body tissues.
Levels of IGFBP-3 are highest during childhood and puberty, then they decrease during adulthood. Levels also may be affected by sexual maturation and nutritional status

USG
Diagnostic ultrasound, also called sonography or diagnostic medical sonography, is an imaging method that uses sound waves to produce images of structures within your body. The images can provide valuable information for diagnosing and directing treatment for a variety of diseases and conditions.
Most ultrasound examinations are done using an ultrasound device outside your body, though some involve placing a small device inside your body.

Vision Test
A vision screening, also called an eye test, is a brief exam that looks for potential vision problems and eye disorders. Vision screenings are often done by primary care providers as part of a child’s regular checkup. Sometimes screenings are given to children by school nurses.
Vision screening is not used to diagnose vision problems. If a problem is found on a vision screening, your or your child’s provider will refer you to an eye care specialist for diagnosis and treatment. This specialist will do a more thorough eye test. Many vision problems and disorders can be successfully treated with corrective lenses, minor surgery, or other therapies.

ACTH
This test measures the level of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in the blood. ACTH is a hormone made by the pituitary gland, a small gland at the base of the brain. ACTH controls the production of another hormone called cortisol. Cortisol is made by the adrenal glands, two small glands located above the kidneys. Cortisol plays an important role in helping you to:
Respond to stress
Fight infection
Regulate blood sugar
Maintain blood pressure
Regulate metabolism, the process of how your body uses food and energy
Too much or too little cortisol can cause serious health problems.₹2,437.50Add to cart
