Importance of HOMOCYSTEINE

High Homocysteine levels correlate to the extent of Atherosclerotic Plaque in the aorta. Homocysteine can impair the ability to repair vascular endothelial cell injury and thus promote the development of Atherosclerosis. It is possible to reduce its level with a course of simple vitamins thus avoiding heart attacks.

Importance of HbA1C (Glyco-HB)

This test is capable of evaluating 10-12 weeks of glucose control. Patients having HbA1C level of >8.0% have very high risk of developing long-term complications in eye (retinopathy), kidney (nephropathy), nervous system (neuropathy) and heart (cardiopathy).

Importance of MICROALBUMIN

This is a simple urine test, which detects renal complications very early especially in persons suffering from diabetes. Persons having persistent increased microalbumin ultimately may develop diabetic nephropathy.

Importance Of Vitamin D

Deficiency of Vitamin D is known to cause Muscle weakness, Pains, Rickets, Osteoporosis and Osteomalacia. However recent studies have established that its deficiency may also be associated with diseases of Brain (Schizophrenia, Depression), Immune System (Type II diabetes, Multiple sclerosis, Rheumatoid arthritis, weakened response to fight tuberculosis, influenza and diseases), Lungs (Asthma), Circulatory system (High blood pressure, Coronary heart disease, Paralytic Strokes) and Cancer (possibly associated with a variety of cancers, including colon, prostate and ovarian)

Importance Of Vitamin B12

Data from recent studies suggest that large number of adults have low Vitamin B12 levels. Symptoms of deficiency are Tingling in Fingers and Toes, Forgetfulness, Confusion, Psychosis, Hallucinations, Tremors, Depression, Chronic Fatigue, Urinary Incontinence, Weight Loss and Shortness of Breath. Unfortunately most of these symptoms are also attributed to "normal" aging and can be confused with other neurological diseases. In Indian population Vitamin B12 deficiency is prevalent as Indian diet is not a good source of Vitamin B12. It is often missed as most of us are not tested
