Executive Health Checkup Program

Almas Hospital's Executive Health Checkup Program offers you a chance to feel reassured about your health. You may be completely asymptomatic and apparently feel healthy and still have problems that could be future concerns. Getting health check-ups and screenings can catch diseases in the early stages or before they develop.

Our executive health check-up program thoroughly vets your physical wellness, assesses risk factors, and guides medical focus. The comprehensive check-up includes a detailed consultation from a physician and other specialists (if needed), a lifestyle assessment, medication history, and physical tests. Here, all services are provided by world-class medical specialists and subspecialists in our well-equipped lab facilities.

Blood Sugar

A random blood sugar test will indicate your propensity for diabetes. You can do either a fasting blood sugar test or a Postprandial glucose test or PPBS as prescribed by your doctor.

Renal Function Tests

Renal function tests (RFT) are urine or blood tests used to screen for and manage renal diseases. Tests commonly ordered are,

  • Plasma creatinine
  • Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)
  • Uric acid test

Lipid profile

Lipid Profile or Cholesterol test, a simple blood test that measures cholesterol and triglyceride levels. A lipid profile contains the following tests:

  • LDL Cholesterol
  • HDL Cholesterol
  • Total Cholesterol (TC)
  • Triglycerides (TG)
  • TC/HDL ratio

Liver Function Tests

Liver function tests (LFT), also referred to as liver function panel (LFP) or hepatic panel, are a set of blood tests done to check on the health of your liver. Changes in levels of liver-specific proteins, enzymes, and bilirubin indicate inflammation, injury, or conditions such as hepatitis, fatty liver disease, cirrhosis of the liver, and liver cancer. At Almas Hospital, we offer affordable liver function tests in Kottakkal. We also have novel, automated diagnostic tools to evaluate the cause of your symptoms, including liver biopsy, interventional endoscopic procedures, and imaging tests.
The most commonly performed blood tests include the following:

  • Total bilirubin
  • Direct bilirubin
  • Indirect bilirubin
  • Total protein
  • Albumin
  • Globulin
  • Albumin globulin ratio
  • SGOT
  • SGPT
  • Alkaline phosphatase

Electrolyte Panel

An electrolyte test or an Electrolyte panel is a blood test that measures key electrolytes i.e. Sodium (Na+), Potassium (K+), Chloride (Cl-), and Bicarbonate (or total CO2) in the body. It is generally done as a part of routine health checks to assess conditions such as high hypertension, heart failure, and liver and kidney diseases.

Hematology tests

Under our executive health check program, you can also get your blood typing and Rhesus (Rh) screening test done. People may consider undergoing Rh typing if they plan to become pregnant, require a blood transfusion, or donate blood.
Almas Hospital's full-service clinical laboratory in Kottakkal is fully computerized and staffed 24 hours a day to perform routine as well as emergent hematology tests with timely, accurate results.

  • Total WBC Count (TLC)
  • Total red blood count (RBC)
  • Haemoglobin (HGB)
  • Haematocrit (HCT)
  • Mean Cell Volume (MCV)
  • Mean Cell Haemoglobin (MCH)
  • Mean Cell Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)
  • Platelet count
  • RDW-SD (RBC Distribution Width-Standard Deviation)
  • Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, and Basophils
  • PCV (Packed Cell Volume)
  • P/S (Peripheral Smear) Examination
  • RDW-CV (RBC Distribution Width-Coefficient Of Variation)
  • PDW (Platelet Distribution Width)
  • MPV (Mean Platelet Volume)
  • P-LCR (Platelet Large Cell Ratio)
  • PCT (Platelet Crit)
  • ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate)

A Hemogram test helps to detect a variety of disorders including infections, anemia, diseases of the immune system, and blood cancers.

Urine Routine Examination

A urine test or urinalysis consists of a series of tests to examine the physical, chemical, ad micro-social aspects of the urine.

  • pH, or relative acidity or alkalinity
  • Physical color and appearance of urine
  • Presence of blood and its components like RBC, hemoglobin & WBC
  • Specific gravity

TSH ECLIA

Third gen immunoassays such as electrochemiluminescence immunoassays (ECLIA) for Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) are done to measure the levels of thyroid hormone in your blood.

25 OH VITAMIN D ELFA

An automated test for accurate determination of a patient's vitamin D levels, which is an important indicator of osteoporosis and rickets.

Turbidimetry

Turbidimetric assays are routinely done in our clinical laboratory to determine serum proteins and bacterial growth.

  • RA TURBIDIMETRY - Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) turbid test is used to diagnose Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other autoimmune diseases.
  • ASO TURBIDIMETRY - Antistreptolysin O (ASO) turbidimetry is a blood test that checks for a streptococcus infection.
