Your health is probably the most important part of living, that is sometimes dictated by eating healthy foods, lifestyle, social interaction, environmental exposure, and many others. Maintenance and prevention by checking your cholesterol, glucose, potassium, etc. on a routine basis is a great idea.
We want to help you stay healthy by offering to
you our "Health Check Promo" to test yourself with the
available promo tested listed and described below.
a. Promo 1 - Metabolic Panel Testing
1.
Albumin - Ths is a protein that helps keep the fluids in
the bloodstream, so that it doesn't leak in to other
tissues. It's like a sealant. Abnormal levels of albumin
indicates problems with kidney or liver.
2.
Aminoalanine Transferase (ALT) - This is an enzyme made
by the liver, and high levels of ALT may indicate
problems of the liver cause by jaundice, or hepatitis.
3. Aminoaspartate Transferase (AST)- High levels of AST
can indicate a problem with liver and/or heart.
4. Alkaline Phospatase - This test also checks to see if
the liver is healthy or not.
5. BUN/Creatinine
Ratio - This test the health of your kidneys. A high
ratio means the kidneys are not functioning well, or a
possible congestive heart failure.
6. Calcium -
This is a very important mineral in your body that keeps
your bones healthy, as well as proper functioning of
your muscles, skeletal, and heart.
7. Glucose - a
normal blood glucose level is important, that indicates
your pancreas is producing insulin and working fine.
Elevated glucose may indicate diabetes disease.
8. Potassium - A very important electrolyte that
maintains muscle control, nerve activity, and other
functions. High potassium levels can lead to heart
problems such as heart attack.
9. Globulins -
These are proteins that if elevated can indcate cancer
such as myeloma, Hodkins disease. immune system
disorders.
10. Sodium (Na) - is another importan
electrolye that maintains fluid balance, and proper
muscle functioning. Elevated levels of sodium may
indicate heart, or kidney failure.
b. Promo 2 -
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA)
Prostate Specific
Antigen (PSA) - This is a protein made in the prostrate
gland of males. The PSA testing is a good indicator if
there is cancer of the prostrate or not. Early detection
is crucial to preventative and treatment of the cancer,
if present.
Normal PSA levels vary depending on
age and race. Below list concentration of PSA at normal
levels based on age and race. NOTE: This is a guideline,
not absolute rules.
