- Life Style SuggestionsSuggestions especially for Diabetes & High Blood Pressure related issues The prevalence ofobesityis rising to epidemic proportions at an alarming rate in developed and developing countries worldwide. Non-communicable diseases such as diabetes now account for a large number of deaths each year worldwide. The twin epidemics of obesity and diabetes already represent the biggest public health challenge of the 21st century. Being overweight or obese seriously increases an individual's risk of developing other health problems such as diabetes, coronary heart disease, strokes and some forms of cancer. Of these, Diabetes is the most preventable consequence of obesity.

- Preventive Health ProfilesAgeing Gracefully All of us are aware that it is crucial to lead a HEALTHY & HAPPY LIFESTYLE. We understand the importance of leading a regulated lifestyle for which CONTROL, DISCIPLINE & PATIENCE are a requirement.
- New Introduction Ultra Preventive Health ProfilesYour Blueprint for Longevity and Wellness Take control of your future by choosing certainty through proactive health screening. Our commitment to your longevity begins with proactive screening. We are proud to introduce a tiered approach to wellness, evolving from our foundational Executive Health Profiles to our Comprehensive options, and culminating in the newly launched Ultra Profiles. This tiered structure ensures that, whether you are seeking a routine check-in or a deep physiological dive, your diagnostic journey is supported by medical excellence and absolute certainty. The Executive Profiles focus on the “bare basics,” while the Comprehensive versions offer extensive biomarkers to forewarn you of age-related diseases. The pinnacle is the Ultra Profile, featuring 16 sophisticated tests. By evaluating Apolipoprotein ratios (Apo A1, Apo B, Apo B/A1) and hs-CRP, it provides a precision-based assessment of heart health and inflammation, identifying cardiovascular risks that standard cholesterol tests often miss. The Ultra package ensures exhaustive organ evaluation. The MAlb/Creat Ratio, eGFR and S. Bicarbonate detect early-stage kidney stress and acid-base balance, while the HOMA Score and Fasting Insulin provide insights into insulin resistance. We also include S. Magnesium and S. CPK to address muscle function, providing a ”sea change” in relieving common symptoms like malaise and unexplained fatigue. Finally, we address hormonal and nutritional integrity. S. Cortisol monitors stress, while Folic Acid ensures healthy red blood cells. Our specialised iron studies—S. TIBC, S. Transferrin,andTransferrin Saturation—prevent silent deficiencies or iron overload. Together, these additional tests empower you to manage the complexities of ageing, ensuring your health strategy is as informed as it is comprehensive. Your journey to certainty starts here.

- Basic InformationThyroid Disorders Thyroid diseases are more common than diabetes or heart disease. The incidence of hypothyroidism in women is higher than in men, and it hits hardest during pregnancy, mid-life, and older age. Symptoms of Hypothyroidism are usually vague and go unnoticed for years together. Thyroid diseases can affect every system and cell in the body, leaving it vulnerable to heart disease, osteoporosis, and other illnesses. The American Thyroid Association recommends that everyone over 35 years, especially women, be screened for thyroid disorders.
- Basic InformationHeart Attack Heart Attack or Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death in India and developed countries. The deposition of Fat, Cholesterol and other substances in arteries is known as Arteriosclerosis. If such accumulations are large, they are called plaque, and they can damage artery walls and block blood flow. Such a block may severely restrict blood flow in the heart muscle and may lead to symptoms such as chest pain and, ultimately, Heart Attack, which can be fatal. The above-mentioned disease process, which may lead to death, is probably due to unhealthy cholesterol & lipid levels. LDL- Cholesterol acts as a villain & HDL Cholesterol acts as a hero in the process. Progression of Arteriosclerosis

A definitive diagnosis of cancer can be made by looking at biopsy specimens (e.g., of tissue) under a microscope or Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) and smear examination of discharge (Pap smear).

Basic Information
Automated Seminal Fluid Examination
SQA-QWIKCheck GOLD Semen Quality Analyzer xxxxx xxxxx xx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx
Specimen Report
At NDPC, we use SQA-QWIKCheck GOLD, a high performance, state of the art, a menu-driven analytical medical device for assessing Human Seminal Fluid. SQA- QWIKCheck GOLD uses a combination of electro-optics and computer algorithms to generate accurate and reproducible semen analysis results based on the WHO Laboratory Manual for the Examination and Processing of Human Semen: 6th edition (2021).
About WHO 2021 6th Guidelines
Semen analysis is the cornerstone of male fertility evaluation, with WHO guidelines providing the basis for procedural standardization and reference values worldwide. The first WHO manual was published in 1980, and five editions have been released over the last four decades. The 6th Ed. was published in July 2021. This new Edition has analyzed basic semen parameters more robustly, considering the criticisms and grey areas of the previous editions. Based on these WHO guidelines, it is now possible to evaluate semen more objectively in clinical practice using SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis.
About Various Seminal Fluid Parameters
Based on WHO Guidelines with Lower Reference Range-LRR in Bracket
Sperm Concentration (more than 16 mill/mL) Number of spermatozoa per unit volume of Semen. Total Motility(more than 42%): % of the Sperms that are moving.
Progressive Motile Sperm Concentration Total nos. of progressively moving motile cells per mL of sample. Functional Sperm Concentration: Progressive Motility (more than 30%): Spermatozoa Sperms having progressive motility & normal moving actively, either linearly or in a large circle, morphology. regardless of speed. a. Rapidly Progressive Motility in % b. Slow Progressive Motility in % Non Progressive Motility:
Average Path Velocity (more than 5 microns/sec): Time-averaged velocity of a sperm head along its average path. This path is computed by smoothing the curvilinear trajectory according to algorithms in All other patterns of motility with an absence of the instrument. progression, e.g. swimming in small circles, the Sperm Motility Index (more than 80): flagellar force hardly displacing the head, or when A quick reference parameter developed by MES. only a flagellar beat can be observed.
Anything over 80 equals a good sample.
Immotility:
Total Sperm Number (more than 39 million):
No movement.
Total nos. of spermatozoa in the entire ejaculate.
Morphology(% of Normal Forms- more than 4 %):
Semen Fructose Level:
% of Normal shape/sized sperms in the sample.
- Normo-spermic Semen Fructose levels:
- Motile Sperm Concentration
- 30 minutes after ejaculation: 200-300 mg/dL.
Total nos. of motile cells per mL of sample.
After about 4 hours of ejaculation: 100 mg/dL
IMPORTANT: WHO 2021 6th Guideline uses the term Lower reference limit /range instead of Biological Reference Interval. The new reference values have a clinical impact because they now classify men previously considered infertile as normal. The laboratory report should only be interpreted by a physician who can integrate other test results with the couple's assessment to determine overall status. Self-interpretation and self-medication are strongly discouraged.
