Description

Comprehensive General Health Screening Panel – CBC, Glucose, Lipid, Liver & Kidney Function Tests

Introduction

The General Health Screen is a comprehensive diagnostic test designed to evaluate your overall health and detect potential health issues early. This test includes a wide range of parameters such as Complete Blood Count (CBC), Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), fasting glucose levels, lipid profile, kidney function markers (Uric Acid, Urea, Creatinine), pancreatic enzyme (Amylase), electrolyte balance, liver function tests (Bilirubin-Total, Alkaline Phosphatase, AST, ALT, G-GT), and protein levels (Total Protein, Albumin, Globulin). By analyzing these critical markers, this test provides valuable insights into your body’s functioning and helps in diagnosing, monitoring, and preventing various health conditions.

Why You Need This Test

The General Health Screen is essential for maintaining optimal health and identifying potential health risks before they become serious. This test evaluates key aspects of your health, including blood composition, liver and kidney function, glucose metabolism, lipid levels, and electrolyte balance. It is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as anemia, infections, diabetes, high cholesterol, liver disorders, kidney dysfunction, and electrolyte imbalances. Regular screening can help you monitor chronic conditions, assess the effectiveness of ongoing treatments, and take proactive steps to prevent future health complications.

Symptoms That Indicate This Test

You may need the General Health Screen if you experience any of the following symptoms or conditions:
– Fatigue or weakness
– Unexplained weight changes
– Persistent fever or infections
– Swelling in the legs or face
– Jaundice or yellowing of the skin and eyes
– Frequent urination or excessive thirst
– Chest pain or shortness of breath
– Abdominal pain or digestive issues
– Muscle cramps or irregular heartbeat
– High blood pressure or family history of chronic diseases

Natural Production

The body naturally regulates the substances and markers tested in this panel. For example, red and white blood cells are produced in the bone marrow, while the liver synthesizes proteins like albumin and enzymes such as AST and ALT. The kidneys filter waste products like urea and creatinine, while the pancreas produces amylase for digestion. Factors such as diet, hydration, physical activity, and underlying health conditions can influence these levels. This test helps identify imbalances or abnormalities in these natural processes, providing a clear picture of your health.

What Happens If Untreated

Ignoring abnormal results from this test can lead to serious health consequences. For instance, untreated high glucose levels can progress to diabetes, while elevated cholesterol can increase the risk of heart disease. Kidney dysfunction, if left unaddressed, may lead to chronic kidney disease or kidney failure. Liver abnormalities can result in conditions like cirrhosis or liver failure. Early detection through this test allows for timely intervention, reducing the risk of complications and improving long-term health outcomes.

How to Prepare for the Test

To ensure accurate results, follow these preparation guidelines:
– Fast for 8-12 hours before the test (water is allowed).
– Avoid alcohol and high-fat foods for 24 hours prior to the test.
– Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you are taking, as some may affect the results.
– Stay hydrated and avoid strenuous exercise before the test.
