Pre Marital Screening [Thomson Hospital Kota Damansara]

General Assessment

▸ Blood Pressure & Pulse Rate

This test is a simple way of checking if your blood pressure is too high or too low. High blood pressure (hypertension) can put a stress on your arteries and organs, which can increase your risk of developing serious problems such as heart attacks and strokes. Low blood pressure (hypotension) is not usually as serious, but it can cause dizziness and fainting in some people, especially elderly. This test also measures your heart rate, which checks for too fast (tachycardia) or too slow (bradycardia) rates, as well as irregular rhythms (arrhythmias) – which can indicate structural heart defects.

▸ Height & Weight BMI

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a person's weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters. A high BMI can be an indicator of high body fatness. BMI can be used to screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems but it is not diagnostic of the body fatness or health of an individual.

Blood Screening

▸ Full Blood Count & Peripheral Blood Film
FBC, PBF

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

Hepatitis Screening

▸ Hepatitis Screen (B & C)

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

Blood Grouping

▸ ABO & Rhesus

This test is conducted to categorise your blood type and group, alongside your Rhesus status. It is important to know your blood type to prevent the risk of you receiving an incompatible blood type at a time of need, such as during a blood transfusion or during surgery.
