The annual health check up  is designed to provide a holistic assessment of an individual's health and identify any potential underlying conditions or diseases. By undergoing this yearly health check up, individuals can gain valuable insights into their overall well-being and take proactive steps towards maintaining good health.

The Xpert Health Annual Health Check Up can help detect a wide range of conditions and diseases. Some of the common conditions that this panel can help diagnose include diabetes, kidney dysfunction, thyroid disorders, liver problems, anaemia, and lipid disorders. Early detection of these conditions is crucial as it allows for timely intervention and management.

The symptoms of these conditions may vary depending on the specific disease. However, some common symptoms that individuals may experience include frequent urination, excessive thirst, fatigue, weight gain or loss, hair loss, dry skin, jaundice, weakness, shortness of breath, and chest pain. It is important to note that these symptoms may also be indicative of other health issues, which is why a comprehensive lab test like the Xpert Health Annual Health Check-Up is necessary for accurate diagnosis.

This annual health check up panel requires samples of urine, blood, and whole blood EDTA. The collection of urine samples involves providing a mid-stream urine sample in a clean sterile container. Blood samples are obtained through venipuncture, where a healthcare professional collects a small amount of blood from a vein in the arm. Whole blood EDTA samples are collected in specialized tubes containing EDTA, which is an anticoagulant that prevents blood clotting and allows for accurate testing.

Once the samples are collected, they are sent to the laboratory for analysis. The following battery of tests are conducted on the samples.

• Complete urine examination: The urine sample is examined for various parameters such as pH, specific gravity, the presence of protein/glucose/ketones, and red and white blood cells.
• Renal profile/kidney function test: The renal profile/kidney function test analyses various markers to assess kidney function.
• Thyroid profile total: The thyroid test measures the levels of T3, T4, and TSH to evaluate thyroid function.
• Liver function test: The liver function test assesses liver enzymes and other markers to determine liver health.
• Hemogram: The hemogram provides information about red and white blood cell counts, haemoglobin levels, and platelet counts.
• Lipid profile: The lipid profile measures cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
• HbA1c test: HbA1c is a test that reflects average blood sugar levels over a period of three months.

In the case of a positive diagnosis or abnormal results, it is crucial for individuals to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and appropriate treatment. Treatment options may vary depending on the specific condition diagnosed. Early intervention can help manage the condition effectively and prevent complications.
