Benefits of testing

BENEFITS OF TESTING

General Health Overview: Commence your journey to optimized health with the Urinalysis + Sediment Test and Complete Blood Count (CBC) Test, offering you a broad view of your overall health status. These assessments can signal the presence of kidney disorders and blood diseases, enabling early detection and intervention. Additionally, with the C-reactive Protein (CRP) Test, you can be alerted to signs of inflammation, a crucial indicator of many potential health issues. With these tests, you're not just reacting to health issues but proactively staying ahead.
Cardiovascular Health and Diabetes Risk: The Glucose Test, Uric Acid Test, Cholesterol Test, Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Test, High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Test, and Triglycerides Test serve as powerful tools for understanding your cardiovascular health. They also help identify the potential risk of diabetes, providing you with essential insights that can guide you in making lifestyle changes for heart health and diabetes prevention.
Liver Function Monitoring: Ensuring your liver is functioning optimally is crucial, as it plays a vital role in detoxification, protein synthesis, and metabolic processes. The Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) Test, Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) Test, and Gamma-glutamyl Transferase (GGT) Test offer detailed insights into your liver's health, facilitating early intervention if any abnormalities are detected.
Thyroid and Hormonal Health Evaluation: Hormonal balance plays a significant role in overall wellbeing. With the Thyroid-stimulating Hormone (TSH) Test and Free Thyroxine (fT4) Test, we provide a comprehensive analysis of your thyroid function, which is essential for maintaining energy levels, metabolism, and overall hormonal balance. The Testosterone Test is included to monitor the levels of this vital male hormone, impacting everything from your sex drive and fertility to mood and overall health.
Prostate Health Check: Our package includes the Prostate-specific Antigen (PSA) Test and Free Prostate-specific Antigen (fPSA) Test, offering a detailed evaluation of your prostate health. Regular monitoring of these levels can detect any potential issues early on, offering peace of mind and enabling timely treatment if necessary.
Vital Elements Assessment: Our package goes the extra mile by checking the levels of essential elements like Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), and Vitamin D. These elements are foundational to the proper functioning of the nervous, muscular, and circulatory systems, and also play a significant role in managing the water and electrolyte balance in your body. Regular monitoring can help prevent deficiencies and maintain optimal body function.

Blood Test Preparation Guidelines

Time of day

It is recommended to schedule your appointment for blood tests in the morning hours between 7:00-10:00.

Fasting

It is recommended to fast for approximately 12 hours before blood sampling. The last meal of the previous day should ideally be consumed around 6:00 p.m. On the day before the test, avoid heavy and fatty meals as well as alcohol.

Stay hydrated

Drinking water prior to testing can help with sample collection.

Other factors

Tests should not be performed after a sleepless night or intense physical activity. It is recommended to avoid exercise and stress immediately before blood collection and to not smoke. A short rest is recommended.

Medications and supplements:

Blood samples should be collected before the morning dose. Some drugs can interfere with test results. Consult with your doctor whether you can delay your dose because of lab tests.

Biotin supplements:

High doses of biotin supplements can affect test results, causing false elevation or reduction. It's recommended to avoid taking biotin for at least 72 hours before blood collection. If you are taking biotin, inform the personnel collecting the blood so that they can provide specific instructions.

Preparing for Urinalysis Test

Buy container

Buy sterile, disposable urine containers from pharmacies.

You can also buy a container from a diagnostic centre but the price will be higher. Container is not included in the price of the tests.

Time of day

Ideally, collect the first urine in the morning after an 8-hour overnight rest or at least 4 hours after the last urination to prevent functional proteinuria.

Mid-stream Sample

Collect the urine mid-stream, not at the beginning or end of urination, to avoid contamination. The sample volume should be 20 to 100 milliliters, depending on the container's size.

Hygiene

Wash the area around the urethra with warm water, without using any cleaning or disinfecting products.

Fasting

Do not eat or drink for 12 hours before collecting the urine sample. If necessary, you can drink one glass of clean, unflavoured water during this time.

Physical activity

Avoid intense physical activity before providing a urine sample, as it can lead to an increase in protein and ketone levels in urine.

Menstrual period

Women should avoid providing a urine sample during the menstrual period or within two days of its completion, as this can affect the test results due to the presence of red blood cells and epithelial cells in the urine.

Sexual activity

Abstain from sexual activity before providing a urine sample.

Deliver sample

Take the sample(s) to the sampling point on the same day. Storage: Keep the samples at refrigerated temperature (+2...+8°C) until they are taken to the sampling point.
