What does Gabit - Heart Health measure?

Contains 34 tests

A Complete Hemogram (CBC & ESR) test combines a complete blood count (CBC) test and an erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) test. The CBC test evaluates all of your blood cells (red, white, and platelets) that reflect your general health. The ESR test, on the other hand, determines the presence of any inflammation or infection in your body.

  • ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate)

  • The ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) test measures how fast red blood cells (erythrocytes) settle in a tube over one hour.

    When your body is inflamed, certain proteins, mainly fibrinogen, increase in the blood. These proteins cause the red blood cells to stick together in stacks. These stacks settle faster, leading to a higher ESR.

    The ESR test shows that inflammation is present. However, it cannot tell you exactly where the inflammation is or what is causing it. That’s why doctors usually do this test along with other tests. This helps them understand and treat your health problems.

    What Do Normal ESR Levels Mean?

    Normal ESR levels suggest that there is no significant inflammation in the body. It means your immune system is stable and there are no ongoing infections or major inflammatory conditions.

    What Do High Levels of ESR Indicate?

    High ESR levels usually suggest inflammation or tissue damage in the body. They can be seen in conditions like :

    • Infections
    • Inflammatory arthritis
    • Vasculitis (such as temporal arteritis)
    • Anemia
    • Kidney disease
    • Tuberculosis
    • Certain cancers, and plasma cell disorders
    • After tissue injury (like a heart attack) 
    • During allergic and autoimmune reactions

    What to Do if Your ESR Is Higher Than Normal?

    If your ESR level is higher than normal, your doctor may recommend further tests to find the underlying cause. Treatment focuses on managing the condition causing the inflammation. Lifestyle measures like a balanced diet, proper rest, and following prescribed medications can help reduce inflammation over time.

    What Do Low Levels of ESR Indicate?

    Low ESR levels are less common but may occur in conditions that reduce red blood cell sedimentation. These include:

    • Polycythemia vera
    • Sickle cell anemia
    • Congestive heart failure (CHF)
    • Certain infections like typhoid, malaria, or viral illnesses
    • In cases of peptic ulcer disease or acute allergic reactions

    Can ESR Results Be Inaccurate?

    Yes. ESR results can be affected by factors like pregnancy, anemia, infections, or certain medications. Errors in sample handling or delayed testing may also impact accuracy. Hence, results should be interpreted along with symptoms and additional test results.

    What Factors Can Affect ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) Results?

    Though a reliable test, several factors can influence accuracy:

    Falsely Increased ESR:

    • High fibrinogen, gamma, or beta globulins
    • Age, female gender, pregnancy, or menstruation

    • Abnormally shaped RBCs (sickle cells, spherocytes, acanthocytes)
    • Microcytosis, HbC disease, or hypofibrinogenemia
    • Extreme leukocytosis
    • Low lab temperature or clotted blood

    What Follow-Up Tests May Be Required?

    If your ESR levels are high or low, your doctor may suggest additional tests to find the underlying cause. These may include: 

    Table: Tests Commonly Ordered Alongside ESR Test

    Test Name

    Primary Purpose

    CRP (C-Reactive Protein)

    Detects active inflammation

    CBC (Complete Blood Count)

    Evaluates infection or anemia

    ANA (Antinuclear Antibody)

    Screens for autoimmune diseases

    Rheumatoid Factor (RF)

    Assesses for rheumatoid arthritis

    How Does ESR Differ from Other Inflammatory Tests?

    It is important to understand how the ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) test differs from other common inflammatory tests:

    • C-Reactive Protein (CRP): Detects acute inflammation and rises more quickly than ESR. It is useful for identifying infections and monitoring treatment response.
    • High-Sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP): Measures low-grade inflammation and helps assess cardiovascular disease risk.
    • Antinuclear Antibody (ANA): Screens for autoimmune diseases by detecting specific antibodies in the blood.
    • Rheumatoid Factor (RF): Helps diagnose rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune disorders.
  • CBC (Complete Blood Count)

  • The CBC (Complete Blood Count) test measures the number of red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets. Each of these blood cells performs essential functions–RBCs carry oxygen from your lungs to the various body parts, WBCs help fight infections and other diseases, and platelets help your blood to clot. Therefore, determining their levels can provide significant health information. A CBC test also determines the hemoglobin level, a protein in RBC that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of your body. Evaluating all these components together can provide important information about your overall health.

The FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar) test measures the glucose level in the body under overnight fasting conditions. Glucose is the body's energy currency and is broken down through metabolism to produce energy. Hormones and enzymes produced by the liver and pancreas control this process. The hormone insulin, produced by the pancreas, regulates blood glucose levels. When these levels are high, such as after a meal, insulin is secreted to transport glucose into cells for energy production. Elevated glucose levels in the body after fasting may indicate a risk of developing prediabetes or diabetes, which can be of two types: type 1, caused by little or no insulin production, and type 2, caused by insulin resistance or decreased insulin production.

What Do the Results Mean?

Pathological Factors

Test Parameter

Interpretation (possible causes)

Normal

  • No diabetes

Borderline/Elevated

  • Pre-diabetes (can be due to insulin resistance, and other risk factors like obesity, unhealthy diet, sedentary lifestyle, etc)

High levels

  • Diabetes

Physiological Factors

πŸ§’ Age: Glucose levels may increase slightly with age, even in healthy individuals.

πŸ«„ Pregnancy: Hormonal changes during pregnancy can temporarily alter blood sugar levels.

Lifestyle Factors

πŸ₯ž Diet: High sugar intake, irregular meals can affect fasting glucose readings.

😴 Sleep: Poor sleep quality, irregular sleep patterns, or chronic stress may elevate fasting glucose levels.

🚬 Smoking & Alcohol: Both can interfere with insulin function and lead to inaccurate blood sugar results.

What Do Normal Fasting Blood Sugar Levels Mean?

Normal fasting blood sugar levels suggest that your body is efficiently regulating glucose through proper insulin function. It indicates a stable energy balance and a lower risk of developing diabetes or related metabolic issues.

What Do High Levels of Fasting Blood Sugar Indicate?

High fasting blood sugar levels may point to insulin resistance or reduced insulin activity in the body. It can be an early sign of prediabetes or diabetes and is often linked to factors such as poor diet, stress, inactivity, or certain health conditions.

What to Do if Your Fasting Blood Sugar Is Higher Than Normal?

If your fasting blood sugar level is higher than normal, it is important to follow up with your doctor. Many people successfully manage or reverse borderline results with healthy lifestyle changes such as balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, adequate sleep, and medical guidance when required.

What Do Low Levels of Fasting Blood Sugar Indicate?

Low fasting blood sugar levels may indicate that your body has more insulin than needed or that you have not eaten enough before the test. It can also occur due to certain medications or underlying medical conditions. Always consult your healthcare provider to understand the reason and manage it safely.

Can Fasting Blood Sugar Results Be Inaccurate?

Certain conditions or external factors such as skipping meals, lack of sleep etc., can affect FBS results. If your readings do not align with your symptoms or overall health, your doctor may recommend repeating the test or performing additional investigations to confirm accuracy.

What Factors Can Affect Fasting Blood Sugar Results?

Though a reliable test, some circumstances can influence accuracy:

  • Eating or drinking anything (other than water) before the test
  • Dehydration or prolonged fasting
  • Stress or lack of sleep before testing
  • Certain medications 
  • Sunburn
  • Coffee intake
  • Alcohol

The Serum Homocysteine test measures your blood levels of homocysteine that serves in the body as an intermediate in the metabolism of methionine and cysteine. Methionine is an essential amino acid and antioxidant that synthesizes proteins. Cysteine is a nonessential amino acid synthesized from methionine. It reduces inflammation, increases communication between immune cells, and increases liver health.

The human body generally has low levels of homocysteine. This is because our body uses vitamins B12, B6, and folic acid (also called folate or vitamin B9) to break down homocysteine rapidly, convert it into other compounds, and transport it to our body. However, high levels can damage blood vessels and increase the risk of heart attacks, damage to arteries, and brain stroke.

The Lipid Profile assesses the level of specific fat molecules called lipids in the blood and helps determine the risk of heart ailments. This profile determines the amount of different types of lipids, including total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides. Lipids play a pivotal role in the functioning of the body. They are crucial components of the cell membranes and hormones, provide cushioning, and are a storehouse of energy. Any alterations in the lipid levels may lead to potential heart ailments, making their monitoring crucial.

Know more about Lipid Profile

  • Cholesterol - LDL

  • The Cholesterol - LDL test measures the concentration of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in the blood. LDL cholesterol plays an important role in your body. It carries cholesterol from your liver to other parts of the body where it's needed for things like building cell walls and making hormones. However, it is often referred to as "bad" cholesterol because when present in excess in your blood, it can stick to your blood vessel walls leading to the formation of plaque, making them narrow and less flexible. When this happens, it's harder for the blood to flow, which can lead to heart problems, like heart attacks and strokes. By measuring LDL cholesterol levels, your doctor can assess your risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and can recommend appropriate preventive or treatment strategies.

  • Triglycerides

  • The Triglycerides test measures the amount of triglycerides in the blood and helps evaluate your risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. Triglycerides are a type of fat (lipid) that your body uses as a source of energy. When you consume more calories than your body needs, the excess calories are converted into triglycerides and stored in fat cells for later use. High triglyceride levels can contribute to the hardening and narrowing of arteries, increasing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other related conditions. 

  • Cholesterol - Total

  • The Cholesterol - Total test measures the total amount of cholesterol (fats) in your blood. Cholesterol is mainly synthesized in the liver and partially in the intestines. It acts as a building block for cell membranes, is a precursor to vital hormones, and helps produce bile acids that help digest fats. Cholesterol is transported through the blood as lipoproteins: low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). An optimal amount of these proteins is necessary for proper body functioning.

  • Cholesterol - HDL

  • The Cholesterol - HDL test measures the concentration of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in the blood. HDL cholesterol plays a crucial role in maintaining cardiovascular health, as it helps transport excess low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol from the bloodstream back to the liver for excretion. This process prevents plaque buildup on the blood vessel walls, which can cause them to become narrow and less flexible. Higher HDL cholesterol levels are generally associated with a lower risk of heart problems, such as heart attacks and strokes. By measuring HDL cholesterol levels, your doctor can assess your risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and recommend appropriate preventive or treatment strategies, including lifestyle modifications and medications.

  • Very Low Density Lipoprotein

  • The Very Low Density Lipoprotein test measures the concentration of very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol in the blood. VLDL cholesterol plays a vital role in the body's metabolic processes. It is produced by the liver and is used to transport triglycerides, a type of fat, from the liver to various tissues throughout the body, where they are either utilized for energy or stored for later use. Though VLDL cholesterol is essential for the body's normal functioning, it is harmful if present in excess amounts. By measuring VLDL cholesterol levels, your doctor can assess your risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and recommend appropriate preventive or treatment strategies.

  • Total Cholesterol/HDL Cholesterol Ratio

  • The Total Cholesterol/HDL Cholesterol Ratio test measures the ratio of total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein (HDL)/good cholesterol in your blood which is a significant indicator of cardiovascular health. This ratio is calculated by dividing the total cholesterol by the HDL number. A high ratio indicates a higher amount of 'bad' cholesterol relative to 'good' cholesterol, implying a higher risk of developing heart disease. Conversely, a lower ratio implies a higher amount of 'good' cholesterol relative to 'bad' cholesterol, indicating a lower risk.

  • LDL/HDL Ratio

  • An LDL/HDL Ratio test measures the ratio of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) to high-density lipoproteins (HDL) in your blood. These two types of lipoproteins carry cholesterol throughout the body. LDL, often referred to as the 'bad' cholesterol, carries cholesterol to the cells that need it. However, if there is too much LDL cholesterol in the blood, it can combine with other substances and form plaque in the arteries, leading to cardiovascular diseases. On the other hand, HDL, often referred to as the 'good' cholesterol, helps remove other forms of cholesterol, including LDL, from the bloodstream. It transports cholesterol back to the liver, where it is broken down and eliminated from the body, thus reducing the risk of cholesterol buildup and heart disease. The LDL/HDL ratio is a significant indicator of cardiovascular health. A high ratio indicates a higher amount of 'bad' cholesterol relative to 'good' cholesterol, implying a higher risk of developing heart disease. Conversely, a lower ratio implies a higher amount of 'good' cholesterol relative to 'bad' cholesterol, indicating a lower risk.

  • Non HDL Cholesterol

  • The Non HDL Cholesterol test looks for the β€œbad” cholesterol particles that are likely to contribute to heart problems. These bad particles include LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, VLDL (very-low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, and remnants of other cholesterol-carrying molecules. Cholesterol is a waxy substance that circulates in your bloodstream and is essential for various bodily functions. However, too much of β€œbad” types of cholesterol can build up in your arteries and increase the risk of heart conditions. LDL and VLDL cholesterol particles are often referred to as the "bad" cholesterol because they can stick to the walls of your arteries and form plaque, narrowing the arteries and restricting blood flow to your heart. By measuring non-HDL cholesterol, your doctor can assess your risk of heart disease and determine if any interventions or lifestyle changes are needed to protect your heart.

The Uric Acid, Serum test measures the amount of uric acid in your blood. Uric acid is a waste product formed when the body breaks down purines. Purines are the natural substances found in your body’s cells (DNA) and in certain foods like red meat or seafood. Under normal conditions, uric acid dissolves in the blood, passes through the kidneys, and is excreted in the urine. When this process doesn’t work properly, due to either increased production or reduced elimination, the uric acid can build up in the blood. This may indicate underlying health issues such as kidney dysfunction, gout, or the presence of kidney stones. In some cases, the exact reason for high uric acid levels is unclear. On the other hand, low uric acid levels are rarely a cause for concern. This test helps doctors understand if uric acid levels are within a healthy range and whether further evaluation or treatment is needed.
