The Children’s Nutrition Profile is a comprehensive panel of tests designed to assess various nutritional and metabolic factors crucial for the growth, development, and overall health of children. It includes tests for essential vitamins, minerals, blood cell counts, and thyroid function, as well as screenings for conditions like anemia and G6PD deficiency, ensuring a thorough evaluation of nutritional status and potential health concerns in children.
Our Children’s Nutrition Profile package offers parents and caregivers a comprehensive assessment of their child’s nutritional status and overall health. With state-of-the-art testing facilities and experienced pediatric healthcare professionals, we ensure accurate and reliable results. This package is ideal for parents who want to ensure that their child is receiving adequate nutrition and identify any potential nutritional deficiencies or health issues early on, allowing for timely intervention and support.
1. Calcium: Essential for bone and teeth development, nerve function, and muscle contraction in children.
2. CBC (Complete Blood Count): Provides information on various blood cell types including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, helping to assess overall health and detect conditions like anemia.
3. Folic Acid, Vitamin B9-Serum: Crucial for DNA synthesis and cell growth, supporting proper development and growth in children.
4. G6PD (Quantitative): Tests for the activity level of the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme, important for detecting G6PD deficiency, a genetic disorder that can cause hemolytic anemia.
5. HB Electrophoresis: Identifies different types of hemoglobin in the blood, useful for diagnosing various types of anemia including sickle cell disease.
6. HbA1C (Glycosylated Hemoglobin by HPLC): Evaluates long-term blood sugar control, important for monitoring diabetes management in children.
7. Iron TIBC: Measures the body’s ability to transport iron in the blood, helping to assess iron status and detect iron deficiency anemia.
8. TFT (Thyroid Function Test): Assesses thyroid hormone levels (TSH, T3, T4) to evaluate thyroid function, which influences metabolism and growth in children.
9. Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin): Necessary for nerve function, DNA synthesis, and red blood cell production, supporting overall growth and development.
10. Vitamin D (25 OH Vitamin D Total): Vital for bone health and calcium absorption, ensuring proper growth and development of bones in children.
The Children’s Nutrition Profile evaluates various markers related to a child’s nutritional status, including calcium, CBC, folic acid, G6PD, HB electrophoresis, HbA1c, iron, thyroid function, and vitamins. It helps ensure proper growth, development, and overall health.
CBC assesses various blood components, providing insights into a child’s overall health, including red and white blood cell counts and platelets.
Folic acid is crucial for DNA synthesis and cell division, is essential for growth and development. Its assessment ensures adequate levels for proper functioning.
G6PD testing helps detect a genetic enzyme deficiency that could lead to hemolytic anemia. Early detection is crucial for proper management.
HB Electrophoresis assesses the types of hemoglobin present, helping identify conditions like thalassemia or sickle cell anemia.
HbA1c reflects average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months, offering insights into glucose control and diabetes risk.
