Premier Screening (Package 2) [KPJ Damansara]

General Assessment

▸ Physical Examination
▸ Blood Pressure Reading

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.

▸ Height and Weight, Body Mass Index 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

▸ Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)

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

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.

▸ Hemoglobin (Hb)

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

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 – togauge if they are on adequate medication.

Liver Function

▸ Liver Function Test
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.

Kidney Function

▸ Renal Function 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.

Urine Analysis

▸ Urea
▸ Sodium
▸ 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.

Gout Screening

▸ Uric Acid

This test detects high levels of uric acid in the blood, which could be a sign of gout. It is also vital to monitor uric acid levels when undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatment for cancer.

Blood Grouping

▸ ABO Grouping

This test is conducted to categorise your blood type and group. 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.

▸ Rhesus Typing

This test is conducted to categorise your blood Rhesus status – which is more relevant if you want to have children in the future.

Hepatitis Screening

▸ Hepatitis A & B Screening

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

Thyroid Assessment

▸ Serum-Free Thyroxine (T4)
Free T4

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 and done alongside free T3 (Triiodothyronine).

Cardiac Screening

▸ Electrocardiogram (ECG) with Report

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.

Respiratory Assessment

▸ Lung Function Test with report (Pulmonary Function Test (PFT)

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.

Infectious Disease Screening

▸ Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL)
Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL)

This test is a screening test for Syphilis.

▸ Treponema Pallidum Hema-Agglutination (TPHA)/ Syphilis Screening
Treponema Pallidum Hema Agglutination (THPA)

This test is a diagnostic test for Syphilis. When conducted with VDRL test, it can diagnose Syphillis.

Eye Tests

▸ Visual Test (Snellen Chart)

A series of tests performed to assess vision, visual fields and ability to focus on and discern objects.

Cancer Screening

▸ Ultrasound Abdomen

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.

▸ Ultrasound Pelvis

Ultrasound pelvis is an imaging test used in the assessment of solid organs and fluid-filled structures. For females, it is used to visualise the uterus, cervix, ovaries, Fallopian tubes and bladder. For males, it is used to visualise the prostate, bladder and seminal vesicles.

▸ 5 Types of Cancer Marker Test

Osteoporosis Screening

▸ Calcium

A blood calcium test is used in the diagnosing and monitoring of a range of conditions relating to the bones, heart, nerves, kidneys and teeth. The test may also be ordered if a person has symptoms of a parathyroid disorder, malabsorption, or an overactive thyroid.

▸ Phosphorus

A phosphate in blood test measures the amount of phosphate in your blood. Phosphate contains the mineral phosphorus. Phosphorus works with calcium to build strong bones and teeth. The kidneys filter and remove excess phosphate from the blood.

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.
