Senior citizen health check bronze is a health check that includes 14 tests and 2 consultations.
The health check package includes:
fasting blood sugar, complete blood count, glycosylated Hb, lipid profile, serum creatinine, sodium, potassium, SGPT, SGOT, total bilirubin, urine analysis, xray - chest, ECG, ultrasound scan - abdomen and pelvis, physician consultation and choice of consultation (cardiology, dental, eye, orthopedics, nutrition).
Creatinine
To evaluate the health of your kidneys to help diagnose kidney disease to monitor treatment for kidney disease
Specimen:A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm and or a 24-hour urine sample
When To Get Tested: Routinely as part of a comprehensive or basic metabolic panel when your have signs and symptoms that may be due to kidney disease or damage or when you have a condition that may affect your kidneys and or be worsened by kidney dysfunction at intervals to monitor treatment for kidney disease or kidney function while on certain medications
Test Preparation:You may be instructed to fast overnight or refrain from eating cooked meat some studies have shown that eating cooked meat prior to testing can temporarily increase the level of creatinine
Normal Test Result: 0.84 milligrams per deciliter to 1.21 milligrams per deciliter (74.3 to 107 micromoles per liter), although this can vary from lab to lab, between men and women, and by age
Hemoglobinopathy-evaluation
To investigate hemoglobinopathy as the cause of signs and symptoms to screen for a hemoglobin disorder
Specimen:A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm or obtained from the heel or finger of an infant
When To Get Tested: As follow up to abnormal results on a complete blood count CBC and or blood smear when you have symptoms of hemolytic anemia such as weakness and fatigue and your healthcare practitioner suspects that you have an abnormal form of hemoglobin hemoglobinopathy when you have a family history of hemoglobinopathy as part of newborn screening

To assess your risk of developing cardiovascular disease CVD to monitor treatment
Specimen:A blood sample obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in your arm or from a fingerstick
When To Get Tested: Screening when no risk factors present for adults every four to six years for youths once between the ages of 9 and 11 and again between ages 17 and 21 Monitoring at regular intervals when risk factors are present when prior results showed high risk levels and or to monitor effectiveness of treatment
Test Preparation:Typically fasting for 9-12 hours water only before having your blood drawn is required but some labs offer non-fasting lipid testing Follow any instructions you are given and tell the person drawing your blood whether or not you have fasted For youths without risk factors testing may be done without fasting
Normal Test Result: the ratio should be below 4
Potassium
To determine whether your potassium level is within normal limits to help evaluate electrolyte balance to help determine the cause of and monitor treatment for illnesses associated with abnormal potassium levels in the body
Specimen:A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm sometimes a random or 24-hour urine sample
When To Get Tested: When you have symptoms such as muscle weakness and or irregular heart beat cardiac arrhythmia or when an electrolyte imbalance is suspected at regular intervals when you are taking a medication and or have a disease or condition such as high blood pressure hypertension or kidney disease that can affect your potassium level as part of a routine medical exam
Test Preparation:None
Normal Test Result: Normally, your blood potassium level is 3.6 2 millimoles per liter (mmol/L). to 5.2 millimoles per liter (mmol/L).
Sodium
To determine whether your sodium level is within normal limits to help evaluate electrolyte balance and to help determine the cause of and monitor the treatment for illnesses associated with abnormal sodium levels in the body
Specimen:A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm sometimes a random or 24-hour urine sample
When To Get Tested: If you are experiencing dehydration problems with blood pressure accumulating excess fluid edema or have non-specific symptoms as part of a routine health examination
Test Preparation:None
Normal Test Result: The normal range for blood sodium levels is 135 milliequivalents per liter to 145 milliequivalents per liter
Total bilirubin
To screen for or monitor liver disorders or hemolytic anemia to monitor neonatal jaundice
Specimen:In adults a blood sample drawn from a vein in the arm in newborns a blood sample from a heelstick non-invasive technology is available in some healthcare facilities that will measure bilirubin by using an instrument placed on the skin transcutaneous bilirubin meter
When To Get Tested: When you have signs or symptoms of liver damage liver disease bile duct blockage hemolytic anemia or a liver-related metabolic problem or if a newborn has jaundice
Test Preparation:You may need to fast nothing but water for several hours before the test fasting requirements vary by laboratory ask your lab or healthcare provider for instructions
Normal Test Result: less than 0.3 mg/dL (less than 5.1 µmol/L) Total bilirubin: 0.1 to 1.2 mg/dL (1.71 to 20.5 µmol/L)
Fasting Blood Sugar
This is the test that measures blood sugar levels. Elevated levels are associated with diabetes and insulin resistance, in which the body cannot properly handle sugar.
Complete Blood Count
To determine your general health status; to screen for, diagnose, or monitor any one of a variety of diseases and conditions that affect blood cells. A blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm or a fingerstick
