Though lipids are important for survival, their high values are alarming to the individual indicating the impending doom. High lipid levels damage the blood vessels, leading to blockage of the various blood vessels, which ultimately results in various body dys-functions including heart failure. People suffering from diabetes and hypertension tend to have higher risk of such failures. So it becomes important not only for the obese persons to undergo these tests but also for everyone, as it is a well known fact that even a lean and thin individual can have abnormal values indicating body dysfunction including cardiac damage.

Liver is the largest, most active and complex organ in the body and plays a major role in the metabolism of our body. It is known as body's chemical factory, sometimes converting complex molecules to simpler units and vice versa. It also makes energy by converting the food we eat into proteins, fats and sugars. Liver Profile measures various molecules in the blood reflecting whether the liver has been functioning normally or not and thereby helping us to measure the liver injury, which may be either an inflammation or infection.

Cardiac Risk Markers contains four risk factors, viz. Apolipoprotein A and B, high sensitivity CRP and Lipoprotein (a). These markers have been extensively researched during the recent years and help to determine the risk of developing coronary heart disease among the patients who have a family history of the problem.

Deficiency of iron is important to detect, as it can lead to anaemia. Anaemia is nothing, but inadequate supply of oxygen to the cells, which is indicated by haemoglobin level. Iron deficiency is the most common cause of anemia in India. It is important to detect anaemia, as it is easily preventable by adequate diet and treated by medication.

The second most commonly affected organ in diabetic patients is kidney, the vital organs of the excretory system. It has been seen that most diabetic patients suffer from end stage renal diseases. SugarScan has two sets of tests to analyze the normal functioning of the kidneys and they are: Renal Profile and Kidleak.

Renal Profile includes some very useful biochemical markers, which can indicate the early development of any type of kidney function disturbances. The test performed on the serum component of blood sample also indicates the onset of Nephropathy, one of the diverse complication of diabetes.

Kidleak includes urinary microalbumin and urinary creatinine. These tests are highly recommended among diabetic patients as they can effectively detect the damage caused by diabetes or hypertension. In fact all diabetic require this test frequently to assess the kidney health and that can help them to avoid the "diabetic nephropathy".

Most importantly, SugarScan includes HbA1c for diabetic patients often referred as the "Glucose Memory test". It is a much superior indicator of diabetic status than routine blood sugar and provides the average blood glucose level for the previous three months. It gives the data of average blood glucose measurement over three months. In normal individuals HbA1c in their blood less than 5% to 6% but people with Diabetes tend to have higher levels, more than 6% . Lower the value of HbA1c, lower is the risk of complications related to diabetes. HBA1c is highly recommended by the American Diabetic Association.
