Understanding Health Assessment Package 1

What is Health Assessment Package 1?

The Health Assessment Package 1 comprises a group of blood tests tailored to assess critical health parameters crucial for overall well-being, comprehensively. This package includes vital tests such as Diabetes Screening (HbA1C & Fasting Sugar) to assess long-term blood sugar control, Lipid Profile to determine heart health, and Kidney Function Test with electrolytes to evaluate kidney function and fluid balance.

The Health Assessment Package 1 provides an overview of health status, identifies potential health issues early, and facilitates proactive management and prevention of diseases. This health package helps individuals stay informed about their well-being and take steps to maintain or improve their health.

This package is commonly recommended for individuals with risk factors such as a family history of diabetes, heart disease, kidney disorders, obesity, or high blood pressure to monitor their health and identify any potential issues early on. Furthermore, for those already diagnosed with diabetes, heart disease, or kidney dysfunction, regular testing is crucial for monitoring treatment effectiveness and managing the condition effectively. Overall, the Health Assessment Package 1 is a proactive approach to health management, promoting early detection, intervention, and long-term well-being.

An overnight fasting (8-12 hrs) is required for the Health Assessment Package 1. However, the patient must inform the doctor about any medications they take, including prescription medications, supplements, or herbal ones. The doctor may advise to continue or temporarily stop certain medications before the test.

Lab test results may vary across different laboratories. Discuss the symptoms and complete medical history, including any existing health conditions, to help the doctor correlate the clinical and laboratory findings, leading to a more accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plan tailored to the specific health needs.

What does Health Assessment Package 1 measure?

Contains 18 tests

The Health Assessment Package 1 includes three key tests: Diabetes Screening (HbA1C & fasting sugar), Lipid Profile, and Kidney Function Test (KFT) with electrolytes. Together, these tests provide a holistic view of the metabolic health, cardiovascular risk, and kidney performance, enabling informed decisions for effective health management.

Lipid Profile

The Lipid Profile assesses the level of specific fat molecules called lipids in the blood and helps determine the risk of heart ailments. This profile determines the amount of different types of lipids, including total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides. Lipids play a pivotal role in the functioning of the body. They are crucial components of the cell membranes and hormones, provide cushioning, and are a storehouse of energy. Any alterations in the lipid levels may lead to potential heart ailments, making their monitoring crucial.

Diabetes Screening (HbA1C & Fasting Sugar)

The Diabetes Screening (HbA1C & Fasting Sugar) test includes a glycosylated hemoglobin test and a glucose-fasting blood test. The glycosylated hemoglobin test measures the percentage of glycosylated hemoglobin in the blood, while a glucose-fasting blood test measures the glucose level during fasting. Glucose is the main form of sugar utilized by the body to release energy; it is absorbed by the intestine and distributed to all organs through blood. These tests help your doctor to monitor your blood sugar levels and manage your diabetes well.

The KFT with Electrolytes (Kidney Function Test with Electrolytes) test determines the health of your kidneys. It evaluates parameters such as creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), uric acid, electrolytes (sodium, potassium, and chloride), blood urea and BUN/ creatinine ratio. This test also helps diagnose possible kidney disorders like inflammation, infection, or functional damage.
