We have all been in a situation where a blood test report turns out Greek to us. You receive your report from the blood test, but while understanding you end up getting lost in the medical jargon, abbreviations, and numerals, leaving the idea of understanding your blood health, tucking the report aside.
But here's the thing, your blood test report is like a window into your body's internal world, which offers you the first clue if something is off, even before symptoms appear. And the more you know about it, the more empowered you are to take control of your health.
At Mahajan Imaging & Labs , we feel that sophisticated diagnostics must be complemented with simple-to-understand information. So, here's the most prevalent blood tests and blood test guide, to help you understand what your blood report actually means without the jargon onslaught.
Consider the CBC a "snapshot" of your overall health, which quantifies various types of cells in your blood and aids in detecting a range of conditions from infections to anemia, and even early stages of some cancers.
Here’s what it typically includes:
These tests detect the level of glucose (sugar) in your blood. High sugar levels may be an indication of diabetes or pre-diabetes, even though you may feel fine.
This test is all about fats in the blood. It measures your cholesterol and triglyceride levels and helps determine your risk for stroke or heart disease.
Your liver does a lot from breaking down food to clearing toxins. Liver Function Tests assist in measuring how well it's doing.
This test intends to examine if your kidneys function properly and efficiently to remove waste and excess fluids from the blood.
For better health maintenance, it is recommended to have a blood test at least once a year. Whereas, for people having a family history of conditions such as diabetes, heart or liver diseases, or kidney problems, it is recommended to have more frequent blood checks. Moreover, if you face unexplained fatigue, swelling, yellowing of the eyes, weight changes, or other sudden unfamiliar symptoms, it is essential to get tested as soon as possible.
It refers to diagnostic services where trained phlebotomists visit your home to collect blood or other samples, so you don’t have to visit the lab or hospital physically. At Mahajan Imaging & Labs , these services are designed for convenience, safety, and accessibility ideal for elderly patients, busy professionals, or anyone who prefers testing from the comfort of home.
Once you book a test online or via call, a certified professional arrives at your chosen time with sterile, single-use kits.

While we only focus on the outer body, the inner body and its functions get ignored. It is a story of every human being until he reaches some seriousness of a situation. Blood tests don't offer merely some numbers in the reports, but it gives a clear idea of your body’s working system as well as your health, internally. Early detection can be the key to timely treatment, better management, and even reversal of many lifestyle and chronic diseases. For example, catching blood sugar issues early can prevent full-blown diabetes, and monitoring cholesterol levels can reduce your risk of heart attacks.
Think of these tests as essential tools in your health maintenance toolbox. They empower you to make better lifestyle choices, seek early medical advice, and plan for long-term wellness. At Mahajan Imaging & Labs , we ensure your blood tests come with the expertise of experienced professionals and easy-to-understand results.
