Senior Citizen Checkup - Male Parameters

Amylase

The Amylase test is to measure: • An amylase blood test analyses the level of amylase, a digestive enzyme, in the blood. This test may be prescribed if you experience any symptoms such as abdominal pain, fever, jaundice, vomiting, or discomfort in and around the abdomen. • Amylase is an enzyme that helps in the breakdown of the complex of dietary carbohydrates into simple carbohydrates for absorption. The digestion of carbohydrates begins in the mouth since the amylase is secreted by the salivary glands. • However, the majority of the amylase is produced by the pancreas and secreted into the duodenum of the small intestine. Amylase is also found in small quantities in the blood, urine, and peritoneal fluid of the body. • The amount of amylase in the blood rises either due to its increased secretion into the blood or decreased clearance by the kidneys, due to both these reasons. • Higher levels are commonly seen in acute pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), where the amylase levels rise rapidly (in 6 to 48 hours). In mild cases of pancreatitis, amylase values slowly return to normal within a few days. Higher values for the longer periods will indicate other complications.

High Sensitive C-Reactive Protein (HSCRP)

A high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP) test checks the low levels of CRP and may be used to evaluate an individual's risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke. CRP levels increase within the blood with inflammation, infection, or trauma, as well as after an attack, surgery, or trauma.

Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c)

The HbA1c test is used to measure the levels of blood sugar (glucose) attached to haemoglobin over 3 months. This combination of haemoglobin and glucose is called HbA1c. Haemoglobin is a component of red blood cells (RBCs) that carries oxygen from the lungs to the whole body. It is usually done once every three months because, typically, the lifespan of a red blood cell is 3 months.

Iron Profile

An Iron panel is group of blood tests which give information about iron is a vital mineral which is required for the formation of haemoglobin in the body. The iron profile analyses total amount of iron in the blood, it also checks to see if the iron is attaching to protein as it should. Iron panel tests are:
Serum Iron test: This indicates the level of iron in the serum. The thick watery fluid is part of the blood.
Transferrin test: Serum Transferrin is a protein. It transports iron to different parts of the body. Transferrin test is analysed the concentration of the transferrin protein in the blood.
Total iron binding capacity (TIBC): It measures the iron binding to the transferrin and other proteins in the blood serum. Total iron binding capacity gives the amount of iron which would appear in the blood if all the transferrin is saturated with iron.
Unsaturated iron binding capacity (UIBC: It analyses the levels of transferrin present in the body which is not attached to the iron.

Lipase

Lipase is an enzyme that is made by your pancreas that will helps the body to digest fats. The elevated levels of lipase in the blood can be a sign that pancreas is enlarged and inflamed, a condition is called pancreatitis. Lipase values may also be increased due to other issues in the pancreas, the use of certain medications, or the health conditions such as kidney disease, cancer, and problems with the gallbladder or oesophagus.

Lipid Profile

A lipid panel analyses five different types of lipids from a blood sample, including:
• Total cholesterol: This is the overall cholesterol level—the combination of LDL-C, VLDL-C, and HDL-C.
• Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol: This is the type of cholesterol that is known as “bad cholesterol.” It can collect in your blood vessels and increase your risk of cardiovascular disease.
• Very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol: This is a type of cholesterol that’s usually present in very low amounts when the blood sample is a fasting sample since it mostly comes from the food you’ve recently eaten. And an increase in this type of cholesterol in a fasting sample may be a sign of abnormal lipid metabolism.
• High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol: This is the type of cholesterol that is known as “good cholesterol.” It helps to decrease the buildup of LDL in your blood vessels.
• Triglycerides: are a type of fat from the food that we eat. Excessive amounts of triglycerides in your blood are associated with cardiovascular disease and pancreatic inflammation.

Liver Function Test (LFT)

Liver function is also called as liver profile or liver panel that measures different types of enzymes, proteins and other by products that are made by the liver. These tests analyses the levels of overall health of the liver. The liver performing its normal functions of producing protein and clearing bilirubin, a blood waste product.
The liver panel test consists of:
• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST): AST is an enzyme in your liver. High blood levels could be a sign of damage or disease.
• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT): ALT is another enzyme that helps break down proteins and is found mainly in your liver. High levels in your blood could mean you have liver damage.
• Alkaline phosphatase (ALP): ALP is an enzyme in your liver, bile ducts, and bones. You might have high values if you have liver damage or disease, and a blocked bile duct, or bone disease.
• Bilirubin Total/Direct/ Indirect: Your body makes bilirubin when it breaks down red blood cells. Usually, your liver cleans up the bilirubin in your body. If you have high levels of a problem called jaundice, you may have liver damage.
• Albumin: Albumin is a protein made by the liver that prevents the fluid from leaking out of the bloodstream.
• Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT): High levels of the GGT enzyme could point to liver or bile duct damage.
• Total protein: This analyses the sum of two kinds of protein in the blood known as albumin and globulin. The test may analyse the relative levels of albumin and globulin, which is reported as the A/G ratio.
• Globulins: Globulins are a class of proteins in the blood.

Magnesium (Mg)

Magnesium is a mineral that is very vital for energy production, muscle contraction, nerve function, and the maintenance of strong bones. Magnesium is a charged minerals with electrically and are responsible for various important functions in the body. This comes into the body through the diet and is absorbed by the small intestine and the colon. Magnesium is preserved in the bones, cells, and tissues.

Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA)

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a protein that is secreted by the prostate gland. The PSA total analyses the PSA levels (both free and bound) in the blood. This protein is manufactured by normal as well as cancerous cells. This PSA is considered to be a tumour marker since its levels in the blood are increased in prostate cancer. It also serves as a useful tool to monitor the progression of prostate cancer. The most frequent conditions that cause an elevation in PSA levels are prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Blood Sugar

A Random blood sugar (RBS) test is one method for analysing the level of glucose or sugar circulating in the blood. This test can be done at any point in time. It is to check how well the blood glucose is been maintained.

Rheumatoid Factor (RA) Quantitative

Rheumatoid factor (RF) autoantibody (RF) test determines the presence of rheumatoid antibodies within the body. These are the autoantibodies produced by the body's own system that attack the healthy tissues of the body. The presence of a high level of RF antibodies may cause severe autoimmune disorders like atrophic arthritis, LE, and chronic infections like tuberculosis and leukaemia.

Thyroid Function Test (TFT)

Thyroid function test is used to detect for thyroid disorders. This test evaluates the level of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroxine (T4), and triiodothyronine (T3) in the blood. The pituitary gland in the brain produces TSH and send it to the thyroid gland. Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) that controls the production of thyroid hormones.
TSH is the first tested. The combination of a TSH and tests for the thyroid hormones T3 and T4 is known as thyroid function test or TFT. Abnormal thyroid function, such as underactive thyroid is hypothyroidism or overactive thyroid is hyperthyroidism, that may lead to various symptoms.

Urine Complete Analysis

This test is urine complete examination is to screen to evaluate color, appearance, volume, density, pH, glucose, proteins, blood cells, glucose, bile salts, pigments elements in the urine. The presence of red blood cells (RBCs), pus cells (leucocytes), and crystals can give an idea about urinary tract infections.

Vitamin B12

A Vitamin B12 test analyses the amount of vitamin B12 in the blood. Having a vitamin B12 deficiency or a low value of this essential vitamin may cause several health issues, including anaemia and nervous system problems.

Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy

Vitamin D helps to our body absorb calcium and phosphorus and maintain strong bones and teeth. While vitamin D3 is naturally made by the body when the body is exposed to sunlight and is therefore called the "sunshine vitamin." Vitamin D1 25, OH test analyses the level of vitamin D and two of its metabolites D2 (Ergocalciferol) and (Cholecalciferol), in blood that is a useful indicator for many bones related issues.

Kidney Function Test with Electrolytes (KFT / RFT)

The Kidney/Renal (KFT/RFT) panel, also known as a kidney profile or kidney function test (KFT), is a group of tests that help in determining the health of the kidneys by evaluating various parameters, like proteins, electrolytes, minerals, and blood glucose.
The most common components tested in most renal panels include:
• Blood Urea/Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN): The blood urea nitrogen test is derived from the blood urea. Sometimes it is also called urea. Blood urea is a waste product of protein activity. Like creatinine, it is removed from the blood by the kidneys and cleared from the body in the form of urine.
• Creatinine: Creatinine is the by-product that is consistently formed as a result of normal muscle activity. The kidney removes creatinine from the blood so that it can be carried out of the body in the form of urine.
• Calcium: Calcium is a mineral that is very vital for the bones, muscles, cardiovascular system, and nervous system. An excess of calcium makes the kidneys work harder to filter it.
• Phosphorus: Phosphorus is a very essential mineral for the bones, teeth, nervous system, and muscles. Phosphorus is also needed to help balance and use other vitamins and minerals, including vitamin D, iodine, magnesium, and zinc. This phosphorus comes primarily from the foods and drinks that we consume.
• Uric Acid: Uric Acid test is to analyse a nitrogenous compound that is produced by the metabolic breakdown of purine. Uric acid is also formed from the metabolic breakdown of the same types of food, like red meat, seafood, beans, etc.
• Sodium: Sodium is an electrolyte that comes from the diet, and the levels of sodium (Na) in the body are mainly controlled by the kidneys.
• Potassium: Potassium plays a key role in a number of bodily processes, including nerve transmission, heart contractility, cellular transport, and normal kidney function. Potassium is a type of electrolyte. Electrolytes are minerals that enable the acid-base balance, healthy fluid levels, and proper functioning of muscles and nerves. Potassium comes from the diet and is found throughout the body.
• Chloride: Chloride is an electrolyte that works in conjunction with other electrolytes to carry out several functions, including preserving a healthy balance of fluids.
