Type of Test

Description

1.

Haematology Screen

This test examines the count of your:

• Red blood cells
• White blood cells
• Platelets

2.

Diabetic Screen

a) Glucose

Glucose is formed from carbohydrate digestion and conversion of glycogen to glucose by the liver. Abnormal glucose metabolism may caused by inability of pancreas to produce insulin, reduced numbers of insulin receptors, faulty intestinal glucose absorption, inability of the liver to metabolize glycogen or altered levels of hormones that play a role in glucose metabolism.

Detection of hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia.

3.

Renal Function Screen

a) Creatinine

Creatinine is an end-product of nitrogen metabolism. A disorder of kidney function reduces excretion of creatinine with resultant elevated blood levels.

Detection of decreased glomerular filtration.

4.

Bone & Joint Screen

a) Uric Acid

Uric acid and its salts are end-products of purine metabolism. The uric acid level in the blood is a balance between its synthesis and elimination. Gout is most often associated with a raised blood uric acid level. This test is used to diagnosis and monitoring treatment of gout.

5.

Lipid Screen

a)      Total Cholesterol

b)      Triglycerides

c)      HDL Cholesterol

d)     LDL Cholesterol

e)      T.Cholesterol/HDL Cholesterol ratio

These tests for high cholesterol are associated with heart diseases. It is recommended that participants fast 10 hours prior to test.

Assessment of risk for atheroscerosis, especially coronary artery disease. Investigation of lipid status in suspected hyperlipidaemia.

6.

Liver & Biliary Screen

a)      Total Protein

b)      Albumin

c)      Globulin

d)     A/G Ratio

e)      Alkaline Phosphatase

f)       SGO/AST

g)      SGPT/ALT

h)      Gamma GT

Our Liver is vital in building proteins to aid in our defence system and is also responsible for getting rid of many toxic substances.

This test is used to diagnosis and monitor Liver function if you consume alcohol regularly, have high cholesterol, or are on long term medication.

7.

STD Screen

a)      VDRL

b)      TPHA

Screening test for syphilis. Non-specific cardiolipin antibody test.

8.

Urinalysis

a) Urine FEME

This detects the presence of glucose, protein and blood in the urine, which may suggest underlaying diabetes mellitus or kidney disease.

9.

Ovarian Cancer Marker (For women only)

-$80.00

This test for CA 125, a substance that may be elevated in cases of ovarian cancer. It is particularly useful as the ovaries are deep-seated organs which are difficult to feel, hence making detection of early ovarian cancer difficult.

10.

Prostate Cancer Marker

(For Men only)

-$80.00

This test for PSA (Prostate surface antigen), which may be elevated in cases of prostate enlargement or prostate cancer.

You may opt for this test if you have:

-Difficulty in passing urine

-History of blood in urine or urine tract infection.

11.

Thyroid Screening

-$50.00

The thyroid controls our basal metabolic rate.

An increase level may result in:

• Loss of weight
• Increase appetite
• Heat intolerance
• Short temperament

Whilst a decrease level will cause the opposite to occur. This test measures the free throxine level. We recommend this test if you suffer from any of the above.

12.

Live Blood Analysis

Check for protein indigestion, free radical damage, iron deficiency, fats indigestion, liver stress, kidney toxins, sugar indigestion, yeast, fungus and bacteria in your live blood.

13.

Dry Blood Analysis

Check for Bowel Toxin and Oxidative Stress.
