Test

Normal Range*

Body Mass Index (BMI)

The standard criterion used to diagnose obesity.

Formula = Weight (kg) ÷ Height (m)2

A value greater than 24.9 indicates obesity.

BMI

18.5 - 22.9

Blood Pressure

The pressure of blood in the arteries, measured when the heart contracts and relaxes.

Blood Pressure

> 90 / 60 - < 140 / 90 mmHg

Complete Blood Count

Checks for anemia, red blood cell morphology in thalassemia, platelet count, abnormal white blood cell count and types which may be due to infection, and screens for leukemia.

Red Blood Cell: Hb (Hemoglobin)

12 - 18 gm/dl

White Blood Cell: WBC

5,000 - 10,000 cells/ml

Platelet Count

140,000 - 400,000 platelets/mm3

Blood Sugar

The level of sugar or glucose in the blood after an 8-hour fast, used to screen for diabetes.

FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar)

70 - 100 mg/dl

Average Blood Sugar Level

The average blood sugar level over the past 2-3 months. This measures excess sugar that attaches to red blood cells, with the amount increasing over time.

HbA1C (Hemoglobin A1C)

< 5.7%

Cholesterol

If too high, it can cause blood vessels to narrow or block, leading to heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke.

Cholesterol

150 - 200 mg/dl

Triglycerides

If too high, it can increase the risk of coronary artery disease or stroke.

Triglyceride

30 - 150 mg/dl

High-Density Lipoprotein (Good Cholesterol)

Helps transport cholesterol from various tissues back to the liver for breakdown. High HDL levels can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

HDL

Men ≥ 40 mg/dl

Women ≥ 50 mg/dl

Low-Density Lipoprotein (Bad Cholesterol)

If too high, it can accumulate on artery walls, causing them to narrow and reducing blood flow and elasticity. This increases the risk of clogged arteries.

LDL

≤ 100 mg/dl

Kidney Function

Measures the kidneys' ability to excrete waste and screens for chronic kidney disease and kidney failure.

BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen)

7 - 18 mg/dl

Creatinine

Men 0.6 - 1.17 mg/dl

Women 0.51 - 0.95 mg/dl

Glomerular Filtration Rate

The amount of blood that passes through the kidney filters per minute, used to check the efficiency of kidney filtration.

eGFR (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate)

≥90 ml/min/1.73 m2

Liver Function

Measures liver enzymes. Levels higher than normal may indicate hepatitis.

SGOT (Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase)

15 - 37 mg/dl

SGPT (Serum Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase)

Men 16 - 63 mg/dl

Women 14 - 59 mg/dl

Alkaline Phosphatase

46 - 116 mg/dl

Albumin

3.4 - 5 mg/dl

Globulin

1.5 - 3 mg/dl

Uric Acid

To assess the risk of gout.

Uric acid

Men 3.5 - 7.2 mg/dl

Women 2.6 - 6.2 mg/dl

Thyroid Hormone

Measures thyroid gland function.

T3 (Triiodothyronine)

64 - 152 ng/dl

FT4 (Free Thyroxine)

0.7 - 1.48 ng/dl

TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)

0.5 - 5.0 mIU/ml

Cancer Markers

Prostate Cancer

PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen)

0 - 4.0 ng/ml

f-PSA (free-PSA)

0 - 0.5 ng/ml

Colorectal Cancer

CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen)

0 - 4.6 ng/ml

Breast Cancer

CA15-3

0 - 31.3 ng/ml

Uterine Cancer

Beta-HCG (Beta-Human Chorionic Gonadotropin)

0 - 5.0 mIU/ml

Ovarian Cancer

CA125

0 - 35 U/ml

Pancreatic Cancer

CA19-9

0 - 37 U/ml

Liver Cancer

AFP (Alpha-Fetoprotein)

0 - 10 ng/ml

Ferritin

Men 30 - 400 ng/dl

Women 13 - 150 ng/dl

Lung Cancer

NSE (Neuron-Specific Enolase)

0 - 15.2 ng/ml

HGH (Human Growth Hormone)

Men < 5 ng/dl

Women < 10 ng/dl
