The Full Health Assessment – Women is a comprehensive blood test designed to provide a complete overview of a woman’s health, focusing on key markers related to organ function, hormonal balance, cardiovascular health, and nutritional status. This profile includes tests that are particularly relevant to women’s health, offering valuable insights into potential health issues, aiding in early detection, and guiding preventive care. Indications for testing This profile is recommended for women seeking a thorough evaluation of their overall health. It is ideal for those experiencing symptoms like fatigue, hormonal imbalances, changes in weight, or digestive issues, as well as those looking to maintain optimal health through regular monitoring. It is particularly useful for women over 40, those with a family history of chronic conditions, or anyone seeking to proactively manage their well-being. What can be detected? The Full Health Assessment – Women can detect a wide range of conditions, providing insights into: Hormonal health: Tests like thyroid function (TSH, FT3, FT4) and cervical smear cytology (PAP – Thin Prep) are particularly important for monitoring hormonal balance and screening for cervical cancer, which is crucial in women’s health. Organ function: Markers of liver function (ALT, AST, GGT), kidney health (creatinine, urea), and pancreatic function (amylase, lipase) help assess the health of vital organs. Cardiovascular health: The profile evaluates lipid levels, including cholesterol and triglycerides, to assess heart health and identify risks of cardiovascular disease, a leading concern for women. Nutritional status and inflammation: The assessment includes tests for minerals like calcium, iron, and magnesium, alongside markers like C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and ESR, which can highlight inflammation and nutritional deficiencies that may impact overall well-being. Cancer screening: Faecal occult blood tests and cervical smear cytology are essential for early detection of colorectal and cervical cancers, respectively, offering crucial preventive insights for women. Who is this test for? This test is ideal for women seeking a broad overview of their health, particularly those focused on disease prevention, routine monitoring, or optimizing overall well-being. It is especially recommended for women with a family history of cardiovascular disease, thyroid disorders, or cancer, and those experiencing symptoms that may suggest hormonal imbalances or nutrient deficiencies. Fasting requirements Fasting for 8-12 hours prior to the test is typically required to ensure accurate glucose and lipid measurements.
