Lab infrastructure in Chennai
Today, there is little distinction between tier 1 and tier 2 cities. Both types of cities are undergoing significant changes in their way of life, with stressed and unhealthy lifestyles predominating. In tier 1 cities, this has resulted in various ailments, including non-communicable diseases like cardiovascular disease, neuro-related diseases, asthma, cancer, diabetes, and depression, as well as communicable diseases like HIV/AIDS, TB, pneumonia, and dengue fever, among others. Conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol are more prevalent in tier-II cities, owing to a shift in lifestyle.
In Chennai, there are more than 1000+ labs, including hospital-based laboratories, clinics, private laboratories, etc. These labs mostly conduct pathology tests such as blood tests, stool tests, urine tests, pap smears, lipid profile, thyroid profile, sugar test (diabetes), allergy tests, etc., to diagnose the cause of certain illnesses. They also offer health check packages such as full body or master health check-ups, specialised checks for diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, etc. Labs also undertake scans and other related tests such as ultrasound, ECG, mammogram, among others.
What will Smoker’s Risk Assessment cover?
- Cardiac Profile: Identify particular blood markers that allow us to predict the risk of heart disease at an early stage.
- CEA (Carcino Embryonic Antigen): CEA is a protein found throughout the body that is a key sign of inflammation and malignant/abnormal cell development. CEA levels can be used to determine inflammatory status and can also aid in the early diagnosis of cancer in a few cases.
- Cholesterol Level Assessment: Check for low-density lipoproteins and triglycerides (bad cholesterol), as well as high-density lipoproteins (good cholesterol).
- Deficiency Iron and Vitamin D levels should be checked.
- FBS and HBA1c Diabetes Profile: A diabetic profile evaluates the risk of developing insulin resistance (Type 2 Diabetes) due to smoking.
- Fluorescent Microscopy: Cigarette smoking causes aberrant cell growth in the deeper layers of the lung tissues. It can also make the lung more susceptible to infections, which can be detected with this test.
- Kidney Profile: Determine nicotine levels in the blood, as blood flow to the kidneys gradually decreases as nicotine levels rise, resulting in chronic kidney disease.
- Liver Profile: An increase in cholesterol levels can have a severe impact on liver health, resulting in fatty liver. This risk is identified in smokers via a liver profile.
- Thyroid Profile: Smoking affects thyroid function by lowering thyroid hormone levels and interfering with thyroid hormone production.
