CONSIDERING FOR A MASTER HEALTH CHECKUP?

There are several measures you can consider to prepare for a master health checkup. Your doctor will be providing a list of pre-test preparations associated with this checkup to aid optimal effectiveness as it is crucial to look out for any abnormalities and to discuss such suspicions before a checkup. The procedure involves complete blood profile, kidney profile, lipid profile, liver function tests, etc.

Prior Prep Up for Master Health Checkup (Pre-test checklist)

Some of the tests in the package require fasting. Schedule your appointment for the morning and make sure you do not consume food, tea, coffee, or tobacco before giving your sample. The night before the test, eat a light meal, before 8:00 PM. Always wear masks and maintain social distancing at the centre for your safety.

Clinical History assessment – Did you opt for such tests earlier, due to a health condition? Were there specific care instructions about the frequency of such tests? It may be a good idea to consult your treating clinician who may recommend more tests. You may also be asked about your family’s clinical health history to identify any hereditary impact on diseases or suspicions.

Lifestyle check – As your lifestyle routine can have a significant impact on health, your doctor might ask several queries regarding work-life balance, your living conditions, and level of body activity.

Test Sample collection – You can proceed with the test sample collection, by visiting our sample collection bays at Mapmygenome test centres currently established at Madhapur and

Kukatpally.  You can also avail the advantage of home sample collection within 15 km radius to any of our collection centres.

Tests Included In Our Master Health Checkup

Complete Blood Profile (CBP)

(Haemoglobin, Total RBC Count, Platelet count, Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Eosinophils, monocytes, Basophils, MCV, MCH, MCHC)

Complete Blood Profile is an analysis of components of a blood cell – investigating morphology, number and maturity in blood volume. Recent studies link lower counts of lymphocytes (lymph forming cell) and eosinophils (White Blood Cell) to prolonged COVID-19 infection.

Lipid Profile

(Cholesterol, LDL, HDL, Triglycerides, VLDL, LDL cholesterol, Tot. CHOL/HDL, LDL/HDL cholesterol ratio, Non HDL cholesterol)

Lipid aids in the production of hormones, Vitamin D, and substances that help digest foods. This test covers all 4 types of lipid found in your body (LDL, HDL, triglycerides, and cholesterol). Very low density lipoprotein is a type of bad cholesterol. The increased levels of Cholesterol is known to be linked to increased risk of heart disease and stroke.

Liver Function Test

(Total Bilirubin, SGOT, SGPT)

Hepatic panels aka LFT provide information about the state of a patient’s liver – screen for liver functions, check for levels of enzymes, progression of any diseases, severity of liver diseases, etc. It covers ALT/SGPT, AST/SGOT, Bilirubin and Alkaline Phosphatase. A normal healthy liver responds better to drugs used in treatment, as it helps in metabolising them.

Kidney Profile

(Serum creatine, Uric acid, Blood Urea Nitrogen, BUN/Creatinine ratio, Urea/Creatinine ratio)

It’s the most common test to check for any kidney malfunctions as it assesses how well your kidneys are purifying the blood by filtering out waste and excess fluid like Creatinine, Uric Acid, and Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) produced and filtered when the body breaks down proteins. The diagnosis helps find any symptoms of kidney diseases, side effects of drugs that may include kidney damage, altered kidney function, etc.

HbA1C (Blood sugar)

HbA1c or glycated haemoglobin develops when the protein carrying oxygen ‘haemoglobin’ within red blood cells combines with glucose in the blood, becoming ‘glycated’. By measuring HbA1c, clinicians can get an overview of the average levels of blood sugar in your body over a span of weeks/months. Diabetic people with high HbA1c are more likely to develop diabetes-associated complications.

Thyroid (TSH)

The test is done to screen and diagnose thyroid disorders. Generally advised if you have symptoms of hyperthyroidism (weight loss, nervousness, etc.) or hypothyroidism (weight gain, fatigue, and cold intolerance).

Immunoglobulin G (IgG)

COVID-19 IgG

An aid to identifying individuals’ adaptive immune response to COVID-19 virus infections by ruling out the presence/absence of IgG antibodies, which are usually produced after 7-14 days of infections – indicating recent or prior infections.
