Book your Basic Health Profile at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an accredited diagnostic centre in NABL and NABH that provides services with comprehensive lab tests. This health screening panel comprises basic blood and urine tests to check blood health, blood glucose levels, average blood glucose, liver enzyme levels, thyroid function, uric acid, and kidney-related parameters.

About Basic Health Profile

Basic Health Profile is a health screening package that provides a general overview of selected laboratory tests assessing important health parameters as a preventive health screening package. It contains laboratory tests that assist in assessing blood cell count, glucose regulation, liver enzymes, thyroid function, uric acid, urine characteristics, and blood urea nitrogen. This package could be beneficial for preventive health care checks, clinical follow-up of some metabolic factors, or to detect abnormalities that might need further medical investigation.

What is Basic Health Profile?

Basic Health Profile is a series of blood and urine tests that give data on various parts of the body's functions. The tests offered with the package are Complete Blood Count (CBC), fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, SGOT, SGPT, ultrasensitive TSH, serum uric acid, urine analysis, and Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN). These investigations are used to evaluate a person's blood health, along with blood glucose (short-term and long-term), some liver enzymes, thyroid function, uric acid, and kidney-related markers.

Tests Included in Basic Health Profile

Complete Blood Count (CBC)

CBC evaluates various components of the blood such as the number of haemoglobin, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Assists in the diagnosis of anaemia, infections, and some blood disorders.

Blood Glucose – Fasting

This test is to check the amount of glucose in the blood following a fast. It aids in the evaluation of glucose control and serves as a diabetes and prediabetes screening and monitoring tool.

HbA1c – Glycated Haemoglobin

HbA1C reflects the percentage of haemoglobin with glucose attached, which is a reflection of the average glucose levels of the body from about the last two to three months. It is useful for diabetes screening, diagnosis, and monitoring of long-term blood glucose levels.

Serum Aspartate Transaminase (SGOT/AST)

SGOT (also called AST) is an enzyme that is present in the liver and other tissues. Some conditions of muscle or other tissue can produce increased levels, as can liver cell injury.

Serum Alanine Transaminase (SGPT/ALT)

SGPT is also known as ALT, an enzyme primarily in the liver. Increased levels may help the doctor determine if there is liver cell damage and help assess for possible liver-related conditions.

Serum TSH (Ultrasensitive)

The ultrasensitive TSH test is used to measure thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).TSH helps assess thyroid function and identify patterns suggestive of hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. Abnormal results may require free T4 and sometimes T3 testing.

Serum Uric Acid

This blood test measures the amount of uric acid present in the blood. As uric acid levels rise, there may be some effects on kidney disease, gout, and metabolic changes to uric acid.

Urine Analysis

Urine analysis tests the physical, chemical, and microscopic properties of urine. It may assist with the detection of abnormalities of the UTI, kidney, and metabolic disorders.

Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)

Blood Urea Nitrogen is the amount of Nitrogen as urea present in the blood. It can give information about kidney-related functions and is analysed together with the other lab test results.

Common Reasons for Basic Health Profile

• Routine Health Screening: Assists in giving an overview of key health parameters on routine assessments.
• Diabetes Screening: Fasting glucose and HbA1C determine current and previous levels of blood sugar.
• Liver Health Assessment: SGOT and SGPT help to detect abnormalities in certain liver enzymes.
• Blood markers include ultrasensitive TSH, which is used to assess thyroid function.
• Anaemia Screening: CBC to evaluate haemoglobin and blood cells.
• Uric Acid Assessment: Identifies levels of uric acid that might be linked to gout.
• Additional Tests Related to the Kidneys: (BUN) Blood Urea Nitrogen tests and urine analysis will be helpful for assessing kidney, urine, and urinary tract health.

Conditions Evaluated

Diabetes and Blood Sugar Abnormalities

A hemoglobin A1c and a blood glucose are indicators of blood sugar regulation. These tests can help screen for diabetes and diagnose and monitor diabetes: the HbA1c test gives an idea of the average glucose level for the last 2 to 3 months.

Liver-Related Abnormalities

SGPT and SGOT are enzymes that can increase when liver cells have been damaged. The results of their levels aid physicians in determining the presence of other liver-related conditions and symptoms, as well as other tests.

Thyroid Function Abnormalities

Combined with clinical findings and other thyroid tests, TSH can be used to evaluate thyroid hormone regulation and can identify an overactive or underactive thyroid.

Elevated Uric Acid and Gout

The measurement of uric acid in the blood can be used to detect if the level of uric acid is raised, as this may be linked to gout and some metabolic and kidney disorders.

Kidney and Urinary Abnormalities

The urine-screening parameter or the urine analysis gives information regarding kidney-related parameters or urinary findings. Any abnormal blood tests could signal that additional testing should be done.
