What tests are included in this Apollo Prime Health Plan?

The Apollo Prime Health Plan includes a list of 7 tests addressing your overall health. The following are mentioned below:

Test 1: Complete Urine Examination (CUE)

A complete urine examination is a diagnostic assessment that examines various components of your urine. This examination aims to aid in tracking and diagnosing various health conditions.

1. Physical Examination

This initial assessment helps in efficiently identifying potential abnormalities or underlying medical conditions.

• Colour: Assesses the colour of urine, which can indicate hydration levels and potential health issues.
• Transparency: Determines the clarity of urine, offering insights into hydration status and the presence of abnormal substances.
• pH: Measures the acidity or alkalinity of urine, revealing metabolic imbalances or urinary tract infections.
• Specific Gravity: Evaluates the concentration of urine, reflecting kidney function and hydration levels.

2. Biochemical Examination

Biochemical examination enables doctors to gain a comprehensive understanding of an individual's health through routine urine analysis tests, making it an integral part of any complete urine test.

• Urine Protein: Detects the presence of protein in urine, indicating potential kidney damage or other health issues.
• Glucose: Determines the level of glucose in urine, which may suggest diabetes or metabolic disorders.
• Urine Bilirubin: Assesses the presence of bilirubin in urine, which can indicate liver or bile duct problems.
• Urine Ketones (random): Detects the presence of ketones in urine, indicating abnormal fat metabolism.
• Urobilinogen: Measures the level of urobilinogen in urine, which can provide insights into liver function and red blood cell breakdown.
• Blood: Detects the presence of blood in urine, which may signal urinary tract infections, kidney stones, or other conditions.
• Nitrite: Tests for the presence of nitrites in urine, indicating possible urinary tract infections.
• Leukocyte Esterase: Detects the presence of white blood cells in urine, which may indicate urinary tract infections or inflammation.

3. Centrifuged Sediment Wet Mount & Microscopy

This procedure assists in observing and analysing any unusual components within urine samples.

• Pus cells: Recognises the presence of white blood cells in urine sediment, indicating inflammation or infection.
• Epithelial cells: Identifies epithelial cells shed from the urinary tract, which may indicate inflammation or injury.
• RBC: Identifies the presence of red blood cells in urine sediment, which may indicate bleeding in the urinary tract.
• Casts: Detects the presence of casts, cylindrical structures formed in the kidney tubules that may indicate kidney disease.
• Crystals: Identifies crystalline structures in urine sediment, offering insights into kidney stone formation or metabolic disorders.

These tests are frequently included in the complete urine examination and are part of the urine routine test, aiding doctors in identifying potential health complications.

Test 2:  Thyroid Profile (Total T3, Total T4, TSH)

This test determines the health of the thyroid gland by measuring three pivotal hormones produced by the thyroid gland: Triiodothyronine (T3), Thyroxine (T4) and Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).

• Triiodothyronine (T3, Total), Serum: This component of the TFT thyroid test measures the total quantity of triiodothyronine, commonly known as T3, a hormone that plays an instrumental role in managing the body's metabolism and energy.
• Thyroxine (T4, Total), Serum: Another crucial part of the TFT test is measuring the total amount of thyroxine or T4 present in the blood. Similar to T3, this hormone is also generated by your thyroid gland and regulates essential body functions like heart rate and digestion.
• Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH): Evaluates the levels of TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone), which is responsible for controlling the production and release of both T3 and T4 hormones by the thyroid gland.
• Ultrasensitive TSH: Measures the levels of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) in the blood. 

Test 3: Lipid Profile

The lipid profile evaluates the cholesterol levels to assess the risk of cardiovascular conditions such as heart disease and stroke.

• Total cholesterol: Measures the overall cholesterol content in the blood, encompassing both HDL and LDL cholesterol
• Triglycerides - serum: Assesses the level of circulating fats in the blood, underscoring the potential risk for heart disease.
• HDL cholesterol - serum: Determines the level of "good" cholesterol, which plays a key role in eliminating "bad" cholesterol from the blood and promoting heart health
• Non-HDL cholesterol: Measured by subtracting HDL cholesterol from total cholesterol, providing valuable insights about overall cardiovascular risk
• LDL cholesterol: Assesses the levels of "bad" cholesterol, a major contributor to the formation of arterial plaque and the risk of cardiovascular disease
• VLDL cholesterol: Measures the levels of very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, carrying triglycerides and contributing to atherosclerosis (plaque formation) in arteries.
• Chol / HDL ratio: Calculates the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol, a valuable metric for overall heart health.

Test 4: Liver Function Test

The test measures various markers to assess liver health and function to diagnose liver diseases or monitor liver function.

• Bilirubin, total - serum: Measures the total amount of bilirubin in the bloodstream, which can indicate liver and bile duct health
• Bilirubin conjugated (Direct) - serum: Determines the levels of direct bilirubin, which indicates the portion of bilirubin processed by the liver
• Bilirubin (Indirect): Measures the level of indirect bilirubin, representing the portion of bilirubin that has not been processed by the liver
• Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT/SGPT), serum: Evaluates the level of ALT enzyme in the blood, indicating liver function and potential liver damage
• Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST/SGOT), serum: Assesses the level of AST enzyme in the blood, providing insight into liver, heart, and muscle health
• Alkaline Phosphatase - serum: Measures the level of alkaline phosphatase enzyme in the blood, which can indicate liver or bone disorders
• Protein, Total - serum: Determines the total amount of protein in the bloodstream, which is essential for various bodily functions
• Albumin - serum: Evaluates the level of albumin, a protein synthesised by the liver that helps maintain blood volume and regulate osmotic pressure
• Globulin: Assesses the level of globulin, a group of proteins in the blood that includes antibodies and plays a role in immune function
• A/G Ratio: Calculates the ratio of albumin to globulin, providing insight into liver and kidney function, as well as immune health

Test 5: Renal/Kidney Function Test (RFT/KFT)

It involves tests that help assess kidney function or detect kidney disease.

• Creatinine, serum: Measures the level of creatinine in the blood, indicating kidney function
• Urea: Evaluates the concentration of urea nitrogen in the blood, reflecting kidney function and protein metabolism
• Blood Urea Nitrogen: Assesses the amount of nitrogen in the blood that comes from the waste product urea, indicating kidney function
• Uric Acid - serum: Determines the level of uric acid in the blood, which can be a marker for conditions such as gout or kidney disease

Test 6: Glucose, Fasting

A fasting glucose test measures the blood glucose levels after an overnight fast (10 to 12 hours). 

Test 7: Complete Blood Count (CBC) 

Assesses overall blood health to detect anaemia, infections, and other blood disorders.

• Haemoglobin (Hb): Measures the concentration of oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells
• PCV (Packed Cell Volume): Indicates the proportion of blood volume occupied by red blood cells
• RBC Count (Red Blood Cell Count): Measures the number of red blood cells per volume of blood  
• MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume): Reflects the average volume of red blood cells
• MCH (Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin): Determines the average amount of haemoglobin per red blood cell
• MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration): Indicates the concentration of haemoglobin in red blood cells
• RDW (Red cell distribution width): Assesses the variation in size of red blood cells
• TLC (Total Leukocyte Count), DLC (Differential Leukocyte Count), ALC (Absolute Leukocyte Count): Evaluate the total number, differential number, absolute number and types of white blood cells and platelet count present in a blood sample
