Premium Health Screening [ALPS Medical Centre]

General Assessment

▸ Physical Examination
▸ Body Composition Analysis

This test provides a detailed body composition analysis giving an approximation of your body’s reserves of fat, protein, water and muscle contents.

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 disoders, infection, inflammation and blood cancers.

Diabetes Screening

▸ Diabetes Screening Test (include HbA1c)
Fasting blood glucose, HbA1C

This test tells you how much sugar you have circulating in your body. Higher sugar (glucose) predisposes you to diabetes. This test includes HbA1C, which helps diagnose diabetes and prediabetes. It can also guide patients already on existing diabetes sugar-lowering medications.

Lipid Assessment

▸ Lipid Function Profile
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 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

▸ General Urinalysis (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 Blood Group

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.

Hepatitis Screening

▸ Hepatitis Screening (A, B, C)

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

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.

Cardiac Screening

▸ Electrocardiogram

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

▸ 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.

Infectious Disease Screening

▸ Sex Transmitted Disease Screening

Eye Tests

▸Visual Test

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

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.

▸ General Tumour Markers
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.

▸ Prostate-Specific Antigen (Male)
PSA

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.

▸ 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.

Osteoporosis Screening

▸ Mineral Studies

Measures levels of minerals in the blood to ensure adequate amounts. Minerals are essential for enzymes involved in metabolism.

▸ Ultrasound Bone Examination

Ultrasound imaging of bone is a non-invasive test to assess bone health. It assess bone density to determine risks of osteopenia or osteoporosis, diseases in which the bone's mineral and density are low and the risk of fractures is increased.

Consultations & Report

▸ Typed Medical Report
▸ Consultation with Dietitian/Nutritionist
▸ Consultation by Doctor

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.

▸ Bio-Resonance Comprehensive Screening

▸ Oxidative Stress Screening

▸ Heavy Metal & Mineral Analysis
