Are you wasting time googling the symptoms? 9 blood tests will catch the problem early

News Topical, Digital Desk : Often we get some normal blood tests done, in which everything seems fine, but still problems like fatigue, irritability or weight gain persist. This may be because some very important tests are often not done!

Yes, with the help of experts, today we will tell you about 9 such blood tests (Blood Tests For Early Diagnosis) that can reveal many hidden problems related to your hormones, gut health and metabolism. Especially if you:

• always feel tired
• are vegetarian
• Suffering from issues like PCOS, acne, hair loss or mood swings
• having trouble losing weight

If the answers to these questions are 'yes', then the blood tests mentioned below can be very useful for you.

1. Ferritin

You can still be iron deficient even if your haemoglobin is normal. Ferritin indicates the level of iron stored in your body. Its normal range for women should be between 40-100 ng/ml.

2. Homocysteine

If your homocysteine levels are high, it could be a sign of vitamin B12, folate deficiency, or inflammation in the body. This test can give early indications of aging and brain problems.

3. hs-CRP

This is a direct measure of inflammation in the body, which is often overlooked in routine tests. If you have bloating, fatigue, or autoimmune symptoms, then definitely get this test done.

4. Reverse T3

If your TSH level is 'normal' but you still feel tired, this test checks whether your thyroid hormones are being used properly by the cells.

5. Vitamin D3 + Ionised Calcium

Many Indian women  do not absorb vitamin D3  properly, especially vegetarians. This combination test shows whether vitamin D3 is not only present in the body but is also being absorbed properly.

6. ApoB or Lp(a)

These lipid markers tell you your actual risk of heart disease, more than just cholesterol numbers. If you have a family history of heart disease, this test is important.

7. Gut Health Panel or Zonulin

If you have skin issues, IBS or mood swings, it is important to check for leaky gut or microbiome imbalance. This is often overlooked.

8. Fasting Insulin

 Many people develop insulin resistance before they develop diabetes. This test helps with weight loss and energy management. A normal fasting insulin level is 2-8 uIU/ mL . 

9. Serum Magnesium

Magnesium affects sleep, muscle function, cramps, cravings, PMS and anxiety. Magnesium deficiency is common in people with high stress and vegetarian diets. It is often not seen in routine blood tests.
