What is the test?
The “Health Checkup” is a comprehensive set of tests designed to assess your overall health. The individual tests are listed below.:
Complete Blood Count with Platelet Count: This test provides detailed information about different components of your blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and hemoglobin.
Blood Grouping with RH Typing: This determines your blood type and Rh factor, which is important for blood transfusions and compatibility.
Complete Urine Examination (CUE): This test examines the physical, chemical, and microscopic properties of your urine, providing insights into kidney function and overall health.
ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate): ESR is a marker of inflammation in the body. It determines how rapidly red blood cells settle in a blood tube.
Random Plasma Glucose: This test measures the level of glucose (sugar) in your blood at a random time. It can help in managing diabetes.
Bilirubin Serum (Total, Direct, and Indirect): This assesses the levels of bilirubin in your blood, which can indicate liver or gallbladder problems.
SGOT (Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase): SGOT is an enzyme found in the liver and heart. Elevated levels can indicate liver or heart issues.
Creatinine Serum: This measures the level of creatinine in your blood, which reflects kidney function.
Urea Serum: This measures the level of urea in your blood, which is a waste product excreted by the kidneys.
