Apollo Health Check-Master

The Apollo Health Check-Master panel is a comprehensive diagnostic test offered by Apollo 24|7. This panel includes a range of tests that can provide valuable insights into an individual's overall health. By combining multiple tests in a single package, the Apollo Health Check-Master panel offers convenience and efficiency for patients. Let's explore the different components of this panel and understand their significance. The Apollo Health Check-Master panel is designed to detect various conditions and diseases. Some of the key conditions that can be diagnosed through this panel are: 1. Diabetes: Glucose, Fasting and HbA1c tests are included in the panel to assess blood sugar levels and glycated haemoglobin percentage. These tests help in diagnosing and monitoring diabetes. 2. Kidney Function: The Renal Profile/Kidney Function Test (RFT/KFT) included in the panel provides information about the functioning of the kidneys. It helps in identifying conditions such as kidney disease or impaired renal function. 3. Inflammatory Conditions: The Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) test measures the rate at which red blood cells settle at the bottom of a tube. It is used as an indicator of inflammation in the body. 4. Vitamin D Deficiency: The 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D (D2+D3) test measures the level of vitamin D in the body. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to various health problems, including bone disorders and a weakened immune system. 5. Rheumatoid Arthritis: The Rheumatoid Factor (RA) - A quantitative test is included in the panel to detect the presence of rheumatoid factor, an antibody commonly found in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis. The symptoms associated with the conditions mentioned above vary. However, some common symptoms include: - Increased thirst and frequent urination (diabetes) - Fatigue and weakness (kidney dysfunction) - Swelling and joint pain (inflammatory conditions) - Bone pain and muscle weakness (vitamin D deficiency) - Joint pain and stiffness (rheumatoid arthritis) The Apollo Health Check-Master panel requires a blood sample obtained through venipuncture. The sample is collected using a needle and stored in a vial containing EDTA as an anticoagulant. Additionally, a urine sample is also required for the Complete Urine Examination (CUE) test. Once the sample collection is done, the blood and urine samples are sent to the laboratory for analysis. The different tests included in the Apollo Health Check-Master panel utilise various techniques such as enzymatic assays, immunoassays, and spectrophotometry to measure different parameters. The samples are processed using state-of-the-art equipment to ensure accurate results. In case of a positive diagnosis or abnormal test results, it is crucial to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and appropriate treatment. The treatment options may vary depending on the specific condition or disease diagnosed. Early detection through regular health check-ups can significantly improve treatment outcomes and prevent complications. Opting for the Apollo Health Check-Master panel early on offers several benefits, such as: 1. Accurate Diagnosis: The comprehensive nature of this panel ensures that multiple aspects of an individual's health are assessed, increasing the accuracy of diagnosis. 2. Early Intervention: Detecting health conditions at an early stage allows for timely intervention, preventing the progression of the disease and reducing the risk of complications. 3. Personalised Treatment: With early diagnosis, healthcare professionals can tailor treatment plans based on individual needs, leading to better outcomes and improved quality of life.
