CARE T5 Health Screening [KPJ Selangor]

Diabetes Screening

▸ Fasting Blood Glucose/ Fasting Blood Sugar
Fasting blood glucose

This test tells you how much sugar you have circulating in your body. Higher sugar (glucose) predisposes you to diabetes. If this test is taken alongside a blood test for HbA1C – it can help to diagnose diabetes and prediabetes. It can also guide patients already on existing diabetes sugar-lowering medications.

 Kidney Function

▸ Renal Profile
Sodium; Potassium; Chloride; Urea; Creatinine; Phosphate; Calcium

This test gives an overview of kidney health: highlighting early signs of reduced kidney function, body electrolyte content, mineral content and hydration level.

▸Kidney Function Test
Sodium; Potassium; Chloride; Urea; Creatinine; Phosphate; Calcium

This test gives an overview of kidney health: highlighting early signs of reduced kidney function, body electrolyte content, mineral content and hydration level.

Osteoporosis Screening

▸ Bone Metabolism Profile

Bone metabolism screen measures proteins, minerals and enzymes involved in bone turnover. Medical conditions can increase rate of bone loss (bone reabsorption) and these tests can indicate problems with bone.

▸ Bone Densitometry

Bone densitometry is an imaging procedure that quickly and accurately measures the density of bone. It is used primarily to detect osteopenia – diseases in which the bone's mineral and density are low and the risk of fractures is increased.

 Lipid Assessment

▸ Lipid Function Profile (Cholesterol)
Total cholesterol; Triglycerides; LDL; HDL; Total cholesterol/HDL ratio

This is an in depth test showing levels of various cholesterols and fatty acids in your blood. High cholesterol predisposes to heart disease, stroke and diabetes. This test is also helpful to guide patients on existing cholesterol lowering medication – to gauge if they are on adequate medication.

 Liver Function

▸ Liver Function Profile
ALT (SGPT); AST (SGOT); GGT; Total protein; Albumin; Globulin; ALP; Bilirubin (total)

This test gives an overview of liver function: highlighting your body's nutrition status, protein content, liver enzyme function and ability to excrete your body's toxins and waste. It detects any early signs of liver dysfunction.

Urine Analysis

▸ Urine FEME
Urinalysis: appearance, colour, pH, protein, glucose, ketones, blood, WBC, RBC, epithelial cells, crystal, cast, bilirubin, urobilinogen, nitrite, leukocytes

This test gives a comprehensive overview of your kidney health. Abnormalities can highlight early signs of urinary tract dysfunction, diabetes or liver dysfunction.

 Thyroid Assessment

▸ Thyroid Function Studies (TSH & FT4)
TSH, Free T4

TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) test gives an overview of thyroid health: highlighting the effectiveness of your body's metabolism. Free thyroxine (free T4) tests are used to help evaluate thyroid function and diagnose thyroid diseases, including hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. It is usually analysed when thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level is abnormal.

 Hepatitis Screening

▸ Hepatitis B

This test can screen or diagnose for Hepatitis B infection or determine if you are immune. It can also monitor your condition if you have existing Hepatitis.

 Infectious Disease Screening

▸ HIV Screening
HIV-1 Antigen & HIV 1, HIV 2 Antibody

This test can indicate if someone is infected with HIV. Early detection can prevent the infection developing into AIDS (acquired immudificiency syndrome). Patients who are undergoing treatment for HIV & AIDS will also benefit from this test, as it can guide the efficacy of their current treatment.

 Autoimmune Screening

▸Rheumatoid Arthritis Factor (RA)

This is a marker used to screen for various autoimmune disease, like Rheumatoid Arthritis, and certain infectious diseases, like Tuberculosis.

▸ Rubella IgG

This test is to determine if you have sufficient rubella antibodies to protect you from the rubella virus; to verify a previous infection or detect a recent infection.

 Gastrointestinal Screening

▸ Stool Test

Involves the collection and analysis of fecal matter to diagnose the presence or absence of a medical condition.

 Blood Screening

▸ Full Blood Count
Haemoglobin; RBC; WCC; 5 part differential count; Platelet count; PCV; MCH/MCV; MCHC; Peripheral blood film; ESR

This test gives an overview of blood health: highlighting early signs of blood disorders, infection, inflammation and blood cancers.

Cancer Screening

▸ Alpha-fetoprotein
AFP

AFP (alpha feto protein) helps diagnose and monitor treatment for certain cancers of the liver, ovaries or testicles. A raised value increases the likelihood of cancer. Early detection greatly improves response to treatment.

▸ Tumour marker – CEA (Colon Cancer)
CEA

CEA is a tumour marker for certain cancers like colon, bladder, breast, lung, ovarian, pancreatic, stomach and thyroid. A raised value increases the likelihood of cancer. Early detection greatly improves response to treatment.

▸ Tumour marker PSA (Prostate Cancer)
PSA (Male > 40 years)

PSA is a prostate cancer tumour marker. A raised value increases the likelihood of prostate dysfunction, either cancer or benign prostatic hyperplasia. Early detection greatly improves response to treatment.

▸ Tumour marker – CA 19.9
CA 19-9

This is a pancreatic cancer marker. A raised value increases the likelihood of pancreatic cancer. Early detection greatly improves response to treatment.

▸ CA 15.3 (Breast Cancer)

This is a breast cancer marker. A raised value increases the likelihood of breast cancer with potential metastatic spread. Early detection greatly improves response to treatment.

▸CA125 (Ovarian Cancer)

This is an ovarian cancer marker. A raised value increases the likelihood of ovarian cancer. Early detection greatly improves response to treatment.

▸ Pap Smear (Female)

A Pap smear is a screening procedure for cervical cancer. It tests for the presence of precancerous or cancerous cells on your cervix (opening of the uterus). During the procedure, cells from your cervix are gently scraped away and examined for abnormal growth. Current guidelines recommend that women get regular Pap smears every three years starting at age 21. Some women may be at increased risk for cancer or infection. You may need more frequent tests if you’re HIV-positive or you have a weakened immune system from chemotherapy or an organ transplant.

Radiological Examination

▸ Chest X-Ray

Chest X-Ray is an imaging test used to help detect abnormalities or diseases of the airways, blood vessels, bones, heart and lungs.

▸ Ultrasound Abdomen with Radiologist Report

Ultrasound abdomen is an imaging test used in the assessment of solid organs and fluid-filled structures. In the abdomen, it can be used to examine the liver, gallbladder, biliary tract, part of the renal tract, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, major blood vessels and appendix.

▸ Mammogram

Screening mammography is a specific type of breast imaging used to detect cancer early before women experience symptoms. Usually done above age 40, when breast tissue is less dense, making ultrasound imaging less accurate in this age group.

▸ Ultrasound Breast

Ultrasound breast is an imaging test used in the assessment of solid organs and fluid-filled structures. It helps in the diagnosis of breast lumps or other abnormalities found during examination.

Cardiac Screening

▸ Electrocardiogram (ECG)

An ECG (electrocardiogram) records the electrical activity in your heart at rest. This can give insight into your heart rate and heart rhythm. It also highlights irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias), previous heart attacks (myocardial infarction), blocked coronary arteries, high blood pressure (hypertension), heart valvular diseases and structural heart defects.

▸ Stress Test with ECG

An ECG (electrocardiogram) records the electrical activity in your heart. During the stress test, you’ll be asked to exercise, typically on a treadmill, while you’re hooked up to an ECG machine. This can give insight into your heart rate and heart rhythm. It also highlights irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias), previous heart attacks (myocardial infarction), blocked coronary arteries, high blood pressure (hypertension), heart valvular diseases and structural heart defects.

Respiratory Assessment

▸ Pulmonary Function Inspection

Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are noninvasive tests that indicate how efficient the lungs are functioning. The tests measure lung volume, capacity, rates of flow, and gas exchange. This information can help your doctor diagnose and decide the treatment of certain lung disorders.

General Assessment

▸ Physical Examination

 Consultations & Report

▸ Medical Officer's Consultation

 Extra

▸ Inflammation Profile

A raised value indicates inflammation or infection in the body, prompting your doctor to carry out more tests to look for the cause.
