General Health Checkup

People used to go to the doctor only when they were seriously ill a generation ago. As people grow more educated and empowered about their own health, preventative health care is becoming more widespread. People are seeking medical guidance on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle ahead of time. They want to reduce their chances of developing numerous illnesses or diseases by eating a healthy diet, according to their weight.

A full body checkup is a complete health checkup or diagnostic scan of your entire body, including your heart, kidneys, liver, and lungs, to analyze your present health state and screen you for any obvious warning signals or anomalies hiding within your body. Everyone should get a full body examination at least once a year to find out how they are doing and if they have any abnormalities or diseases. It can also warn you about bad habits and encourage you to live a healthier lifestyle.

Blood and urine tests, lipid profile tests, vitamin checks, diabetes tests, liver function tests, kidney function tests, lung function tests, and heart function tests are all part of a general health checkup.

Diabetic Health Checkup

Diabetes is a condition in which your blood glucose, often known as blood sugar, is abnormally high. Your main source of energy is blood glucose, which comes from the food you eat. Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, aids glucose absorption into cells for use as energy. Sometimes your body doesn't produce enough or no insulin, or it doesn't use it properly. Glucose remains in your circulation and does not reach your cells as a result.

Having too much glucose in your blood might lead to health issues over time. Although there is no cure for diabetes, you may take efforts to manage it and stay healthy.

The most common types of diabetes are type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. Your body does not produce insulin if you have type 1 diabetes. Your immune system targets and destroys the insulin-producing cells in your pancreas. Type 1 diabetes most commonly diagnosed in children and young adults, but it can strike anyone at any age. To stay alive, people with type 1 diabetes must take insulin every day. Your body does not generate or utilise insulin well if you have type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes can strike at any age, including youth. This type of diabetes, on the other hand, is more common in middle-aged and older adults. The type 2 diabetes is the most frequent type. During pregnancy, some women develop gestational diabetes. This type of diabetes usually goes away once the baby is born.

In this health checkup blood glucose, electrolytes, iron binding capacity, lipid profiling, liver functioning, kidney functioning, and hemogram are tested.

Hormonal Health Checkup

Hormones are the chemical messengers in your body. These potent substances are produced in the endocrine glands and circulate through your bloodstream, instructing tissues and organs on what to perform. They help in the regulation of many of your body's essential functions, such as metabolism and reproduction. Some hormone levels fluctuate over time as a result of normal ageing, while others vary when your endocrine glands have functional issues.

Any of the following signs or symptoms could be caused by common hormonal problems that affect both men and women: weight gain, a hump of fat between the shoulders, sudden weight loss, fatigue, muscle weakness, muscle aches, pain or swelling in joints, increased or decreased heart rate, sweating, increased sensitivity to cold or heat, constipation or more frequent bowel movements, frequent urination, increased thirst, increased hunger, decreased sex drive, depression, nervousness, anxiety, or irritability, blurred vision, infertility, thinning and brittle hair, dry skin, puffy face, rounded face, purple or pink stretch marks.

The majority of hormones may be detected in the blood, and a blood test is used to diagnose thyroid, estrogen, testosterone, and cortisol levels.

Executive Health Checkup

PRESENTEEISM is the term used to describe when an employee is physically present at work but not working. According to some research, the cost of presenteeism owing to poor employee health is at least 2 to 3 times more than the cost of direct health treatment.

Only a few organizations have begun to consider the impact of presenteeism, and there is now evidence that employee wellness programs are one of the techniques for lowering presenteeism costs. And the data shows that the wellness programs have resulted in a considerable increase in employee productivity in the workplaces where they are implemented.

Regular executive health checkups can help in the detection of potential health problems before they become a problem. When you visit your doctor on a regular basis, they might spot health problems or diseases early. Early detection increases your chances of receiving the best therapy possible and avoiding problems. Any company can come to Ruha Life Sciences for a large-scale health test of their staff. We offer high-quality, high-throughput medical laboratory testing at a reasonable cost.

Vitamins and Minerals Checkup

Vitamins are organic compounds that are required in little amounts by humans. The majority of vitamins must be obtained from food because the body either does not create them or generates just a little amount. Vitamins serve a variety of functions in the body, and each person requires a different amount of each vitamin to stay healthy.

There are currently 13 vitamins that have been identified. Having insufficient amounts of any vitamin can increase the chance of acquiring certain health problems. Vitamins are either soluble or dissolvable in fat or water. Fat-soluble vitamins include A, D, E, and K. Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in fatty tissue and the liver, and reserves of these vitamins can last for days, if not months, in the body. Dietary fats help in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins in the intestine. Water-soluble vitamins include vitamin C and all of the B vitamins. Water-soluble vitamins cannot be stored and do not persist in the body for long periods of time. They are expelled from the body through the urine. As a result, people require more water-soluble vitamins than fat-soluble vitamins on a regular basis.

Vitamin deficiency causes fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness, pale or yellowish skin, irregular heartbeats, unexplained weight loss, numbness in your hands and feet, and muscle weakness. A vitamin deficit can be identified with the Ruha Life Sciences Vitamin Testing Panel, which may then be used to treat and manage vitamin-related illnesses.

On the other hand, salts and minerals in bodily fluids that form electrically charged particles (ions). Sodium chloride, potassium, calcium, and sodium bicarbonate are common electrolytes in humans. Electrolytes regulate the body's fluid equilibrium and play a role in muscular contraction, energy production, and nearly all metabolic events. Ruha Life Sciences can estimate salts and minerals using an electrolyte analyzer with excellent accuracy.

Molecular Diagnostics

Molecular diagnostics has experienced remarkable advancement and growth in the last decade. The integration of new technologies and the application of new high-complexity tests into the clinical molecular diagnostics laboratory has been crucial in advancing toward the aim of precision medicine. Molecular diagnostics use advanced techniques such as DNA / RNA sequence analysis, gene expression profiling, and biomarker detection to evaluate an individual's vulnerability to disease and existing illness states.

The development of innovative chemistries and instrument platforms that enable real-time detection of PCR products has led to broad adoption of real-time RT-PCR as the method of choice for quantifying changes in gene expression over the last several years. Multiplex PCR detects multiple targets simultaneously in a single reaction well using a distinct pair of primers for each target. This method necessitates the use of two or more probes that can be identified from one another and detected at the same time.

Molecular diagnostics include gene expression pattern detection, SNP genotyping, pathogen detection, mutation analysis, gene deletion analysis, and template quantification. At Ruha Life Sciences, we do RT-PCR-based assays such as COVID-19 testing and tumour profiling, to name a few molecular diagnostics applications.
