Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder leading to high blood sugar levels. It is mainly of 2 types : Type 1 due to destruction of Insulin producing cells in your pancreas and Type 2 due to less production of Insulin or poor response of your cells to Insulin. Type 2 is more common and results in too much sugar circulating in your blood. Common symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, hunger, fatigue, weight loss, blurred vision, numbness in hands & feet. If untreated, all organs of the body can suffer damage. This panel helps to monitor blood sugar levels specially if your are a pre-diabetic or a diabetic.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) affects 5-10% of women of reproductive age, making it the most common endocrine disorder of women in this age group. It is characterized by amenorrhea, hirsuitism and infertility. It is caused by a complex interaction of abnormalities in gonadotropins, androgens & estrogens. Insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia contribute significantly to its pathophysiology. Although PCOS is associated with hyperandrogenism & infertility early in life, it is a harbinger of a lifelong condition that can lead to serious sequelae such as Endometrial or Ovarian cancer, Diabetes mellitus & Coronary artery disease. Thus, it is crucial to diagnose PCOS early in its course not only to recognize but also to delay or arrest its metabolic sequelae.

Sexually transmitted diseases (STD) affect adults worldwide and many individuals are at risk for complications. These are the most common of all infectious diseases with >30 infections now being classified as predominantly sexually transmitted or as frequently sexually transmissible. Chlamydial infections & genital Herpes can spread widely even in relatively low risk populations.

Chlamydia trachomatis is the most common sexually transmitted bacterial infection. Upto 70% of women and 30% of men may be asymptomatic. Infection can lead to tubal pregnancy, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) and infertility. Gonorrhea is the second most commonly reported bacterial sexually transmitted disease (STD). The majority of urethral infections caused by Neisseria Gonorrhoeae among men produce symptoms that cause them to seek curative treatment, but among women, infections often do not produce recognizable symptoms until complications like PID have occured.
To aid in the diagnosis of common causative pathogens for sexually transmitted infection/disease in both male and female patients.

Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) are non-motile, Gram-negative diplococci, and the causative agent of gonorrheal disease. Gonorrhea is the second most commonly reported bacterial sexually transmitted disease. The majority of urethral infections caused by NG among men produce symptoms that cause them to seek curative treatment, but among women, infections often do not produce recognizable symptoms until complications like pelvic inflammatory disease have occurred.
Antenatal tests are important tools for protecting the health of a pregnant woman and her child. Various tests are performed over the course of pregnancy to determine if the mother has any health conditions that may interfere with normal development of the fetus or if the fetus has any health conditions that may affect the baby’s quality of life. These tests help to identify factors requiring special care.

Indians are at very high risk of developing Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and usually get the disease at an early age, have a more severe form of the disease and have poorer outcome as compared to the western populations.This is due to high prevalence of Atherogenic dyslipidemia, central abdominal adiposity & increased transfats in our diet. Among the various risk factors for ASCVD such as dyslipidemia, Diabetes mellitus, sedentary lifestyle, Hypertension, smoking, genetic predisposition etc., dyslipidemia has the highest population attributable risk for MI. Hence monitoring lipid profile regularly for effective management of dyslipidemia remains one of the most important healthcare targets for prevention of ASCVD. This monitoring should start as early as 20 years of age. This test panel helps clinician to decide if therapy is required and what should be the treatment goal for you.
