Why a Yearly Full-Body Checkup Matters
Most lifestyle problems show up in blood tests long before symptoms. A yearly checkup catches them early, when they are cheapest to manage.
Why check when you feel fine?
Diabetes, thyroid problems, high cholesterol and early kidney or liver changes often cause no symptoms at first. A blood test can show them months or years before you feel unwell.
What a full-body checkup usually includes
- CBC — blood counts and haemoglobin
- Blood sugar — fasting sugar and HbA1c
- Lipid profile — cholesterol and triglycerides
- Liver and kidney function tests
- Thyroid profile and urine routine
Your lab may include more or fewer tests. Ask the lab what is in the package before booking.
