Complete peripheral blood cell analysis (red blood cells, platelets, white blood cells):
– Overall health assessment.
– Early diagnosis of blood diseases (anemia, leukemia, thrombocytopenia…) and infectious diseases.
Blood typing – ABO+RH: Determines the blood type of the person performing the test.
Blood lipid quantification – Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL, LDL, Cholesterol/HDL ratio:
– Measure total fat, “good” fat, and “bad” fat in the blood to help assess fat metabolism disorders.
– Screening for the risk of atherosclerosis can lead to cardiovascular diseases such as embolism, myocardial infarction, stroke…
Diabetes Screening – Glucose, HbA1c:
– Glucose represents blood sugar level at the time of sampling, HbA1c reflects the average blood sugar index over the past 2-3 months.
– Checking and monitoring blood sugar levels helps screen, diagnose and monitor treatment of diabetes.
– For diabetics: provide information for doctors to adjust treatment goals and better control blood sugar levels for patients.
Liver enzyme test – AST, ALT, GGT + Liver function assessment – Bilirubin GT, Albumin:
– Assess liver condition and extent of liver damage.
– Detect liver and bile dysfunction.
– Support diagnosis, monitor treatment progress and treatment response for clinical diseases related to the liver and bile.
Hepatitis B screening – HBsAg, Anti HBs:
– HBsAg: Hepatitis B virus surface antigen. This is the initial and most basic test to detect hepatitis B virus infection or not.
– Anti HBs (HbsAb): Hepatitis B virus surface antibody. This test helps assess the level of antibodies against the hepatitis B virus in the body. The person being tested will rely on this result to know whether or not they need to be vaccinated.
Hepatitis C Screening – Anti HCV:
– Test to detect hepatitis C virus infection or not
H.pylori antibody test – H.pylori IgG:
Initial screening for past or current H.Pylori infection.
Renal function assessment – Creatinine, Urea:
– Assess kidney function, glomerular filtration rate, monitor treatment of kidney disease.
– Abnormal results of Creatinine and Urea index suggest diagnosis of kidney damage and impaired kidney function.
Gout Screening – Uric Acid:
– Measuring blood uric acid concentration is important in diagnosing and monitoring gout.
– Uric Acid index test combined with Creatinine test and Total urinalysis also supports suggesting the diagnosis of kidney stones.
Thyroid function screening – FT4, TSH:
– Determine the level of thyroid activity by measuring thyroid stimulating hormone TSH and thyroid hormone FT4.
– Early detection of thyroid diseases, including hyperthyroidism (cravings, weight loss, intolerance to hot weather, rapid heartbeat, anxiety, difficulty sleeping…), hypothyroidism (hypothermia, decreased metabolism, slow growth, slow heart rate, decreased physiological needs, depression…), thyroiditis, thyroid cancer…
– Helps monitor the effectiveness of treatment of thyroid diseases.
Test for calcium index:
Determination of total serum calcium concentration helps in initial assessment of blood calcium disorders: Hypercalcemia (Hyperparathyroidism, cancer, vitamin D poisoning); Hypocalcemia (Hypoparathyroidism, vitamin D deficiency, kidney failure).
AFP liver tumor marker test:
– The AFP (Alpha-fetoprotein) test is a simple test, often used to screen and monitor the progress of cancer treatment, especially liver cancer. However, the AFP test is not a definitive diagnosis and needs to be combined with other tests to draw an accurate conclusion.
– Normal AFP levels do not rule out cancer.
Colorectal cancer marker CEA test:
– CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen) is a protein produced by some cancer cells. The CEA test is often used to screen, diagnose, and monitor certain types of cancer, especially colorectal cancer.
– Normal CEA levels do not rule out cancer.
Pancreatic cancer marker test CA 19-9:
– CA 19-9 (Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9) is a glycoprotein produced by some cancer cells, especially pancreatic cancer. The CA 19-9 test is often used to screen, monitor, and assess the prognosis of some types of cancer.
– Normal CA 19-9 levels do not rule out cancer.
General urinalysis:
– Screening for certain abnormalities such as protein, blood, white blood cells, bacteria, sugar, etc., helps detect kidney and urinary tract disorders, including chronic kidney disease, diabetes, stones and infections.
– Combined with other test indicators to support the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, blood pressure, liver,…
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Helps diagnose and monitor some heart diseases such as: arrhythmia, cardiac conduction disorders, myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction, pericardial effusion, heart wall thickening, enlarged heart chambers…
General Abdominal Ultrasound:
Imaging evaluation of abdominal organs such as liver, gallbladder, kidney, bladder, spleen, pancreas, prostate, uterus, ovaries, thereby helping to evaluate certain diseases, detect abnormalities or large tumors (if any) in abdominal organs.
