With the changing lifestyle and increased daily stress, we do not believe that prevention is better than cure but rather PREVENTION IS THE ONLY CURE. With the negligence to health, we do not realize anything going wrong with the body until major damage has been caused. Most diseases are asymptomatic, that is, they do not show any signs until the disease has flared up. At this stage, probably, reversal or treatment of the disease may not be possible. So, we believe it is better to be proactive with health and get a preventive health check up done regularly.

Our preventive check-up packages have been thoughtfully designed to give you a complete picture of the different body systems. They will indicate your body’s tendency to develop a disease in the near future. The profiles/ tests that we cover in this package are:

ECG (Electrocardiogram):

ECG is the process of recording the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time using electrodes placed over the skin. These electrodes detect the tiny electrical changes on the skin that arise from the heart muscle's during each heartbeat. It is very commonly performed to detect any cardiac problems. An electrocardiogram can be a useful way to find out whether your high blood pressure has caused any damage to your heart or blood vessels.

Ultrasound Abdomen:

Abdominal ultrasounds are used to check the major organs in the abdominal cavity. These organs include the gallbladder, kidneys, liver, pancreas, and spleen. An abdominal ultrasound may be helpful to detect blood clot, enlarged organ (such as the liver, spleen, or kidneys), fluid in the abdominal cavity, gallstone, hernia, pancreatitis, kidney blockage or kidney stone, Cancer / tumors of the abdominal organs, appendicitis, etc. Ultrasound is safe, noninvasive and does not use ionizing radiation.

PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen):

PSA is a substance produced by a small organ / gland in our body known as prostate. It is produced by both normal and cancerous prostate cells. Small amounts of PSA are generally found circulating in blood. However, the blood levels of PSA are elevated in men with prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is common and very often the cause of death in men. A routine monitoring of this test is helpful to determine normal and abnormal production of PSA in blood to prevent prostate cancers.

Vitamin Profile :

Vitamin D: Vitamin D is a very important vitamin with multiple important roles in the body. It helps in the absorption of Calcium from the food one eats. It has some other major functions too, including modulation of cell growth, neuromuscular and immune function, and reduction of inflammation. Vitamin D plays a major role in growth. It can cause Osteoporosis, hormonal disorders [including disturbance in menstrual cycle and infertility], reduction of immunity and in some cases even increase the risk of cancer. Though Vitamin D deficiency can be rectified, it may take time to revert to a healthy body function.

Vitamin B12:  Vit B12 is important for metabolism. It helps in the formation of red blood cells and in the maintenance of the central nervous system. Deficiency of Vit B12 can lead to anemias, ulcers in the mouth, and abnormalities of skin texture.

Testosterone :  

Testosterone is an important hormone for proper neuro-muscular function and secondary male characteristics. Along with other tests it is also useful in determining risk from prostate cancer.

Diabetic Screen :

The HbA1c test gives a picture of the average blood glucose profile of the person for the last 3 months. Thus, it proves to be a very important prognostic test. If diabetes is caught early and treated, the person can enjoy and full and normal life. Delay in diagnosis can lead to multiple serious complications affecting the heart, kidneys and brain.

Complete Hemogram :

The Complete Hemogram include 20+ tests to give you a very clear picture of the status of the various cells in the blood. It helps to detect variations in both types of blood cells – RBC and WBC. It helps study the hemoglobin levels, that makes you look pale, if low. Studying the platelet count, helps to know about any bleeding disorders.

Liver Profile :

The liver profile helps diagnose problems related to liver arising out of various reasons e.g. dietary, medications, alcohol etc. In general, liver blood tests are used to detect an injury or an inflammation to the liver. Any disturbance should be immediately shown to a doctor and treated early to avoid serious complications which may also include liver cancer [hepato-cellular carcinoma].

Lipid Profile :

The Lipid Profile shows the health of the circulatory system and the risk of a cardio-vascular incident in the individual. High cholesterol levels are a significant risk factor for heart disease and usually don't show any signs or symptoms, so a cholesterol test is an important tool. When you have high cholesterol, you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels, thus narrowing the blood flow channel and causing a reduced blood supply to the vital organs of our body.

Renal Profile :

The Renal Profile checks the ability of the kidneys to form normal urine and the ability of the kidneys to filter harmful substances from the blood. It also checks for dehydration. Delays in treating any abnormality, can lead to increase in blood pressure, reduction in the kidneys’ functional capability. It can also, if left untreated, lead to complete loss of function of the kidneys.

Iron Deficiency Profile :

Iron deficiency profile checks for the capability of the body to produce to make hemoglobin and RBC. These tests are used to detect and help diagnose iron deficiency or iron overload. In people with anemia, these tests can help determine whether the condition is due to iron deficiency or another cause, such as chronic blood loss or some other illness. Any deficiency, if treated with proper medical advice, can be curative. Neglect can lead to chronic fatigue and other nutritional disturbances.

Thyroid Profile :

The thyroid glands, directly or indirectly, control all body functions. Deviations must be shown to a doctor immediately and treated. Thyroid dysfunction, if untreated, can cause severe hormonal disturbances, disturbances in menstrual cycles, infertility, impotency, dry and brittle hair and weight loss. In children it can result in disturbed growth.

Urine Routine:

A urine routine or urinalysis is a test that studies the appearance, concentration and contents of the urine for any abnormality. An abnormal finding in the urinalysis indicates a disease or illness. A urinalysis is used to detect and manage a wide range of disorders, such as urinary tract infections, kidney disease and diabetes.
