This panel includes 5 major diagnostic investigations — Hepatitis C (Stat), HIV (Stat), Packed Cell Volume (PCV),
Blood Group, and Urinalysis — essential for identifying infectious diseases, evaluating blood characteristics,
and assessing renal function.
Included Tests:
Hepatitis C (Stat):
Rapid screening test for antibodies to Hepatitis C virus (HCV), used to identify active or past infection.
HIV (Stat):
Rapid screening for HIV-1/2 antibodies and antigens, enabling early detection of infection.
Packed Cell Volume (PCV):
Measures the percentage of red blood cells in the blood to evaluate anemia, dehydration, or polycythemia.
Blood Group:
Determines ABO and Rh factor for transfusion compatibility, pregnancy management, and other clinical needs.
Urinalysis:
Routine urine test assessing physical, chemical, and microscopic properties to screen for kidney disease,
infection, or metabolic disorders.
Overview:
These key examinations provide essential clinical information that supports accurate diagnosis, treatment planning,
and overall health assessment.
Complementary Measurements
This section includes 4 foundational physical measurements — Blood Pressure (BP), Body Mass Index (BMI), Height (HT),
and Weight (WT) — used to support general health evaluation and enhance interpretation of the key diagnostic tests.
Included Measurements:
Blood Pressure (BP):
Measures the force of circulating blood on artery walls, expressed as systolic/diastolic (mmHg). Helps detect
hypertension or hypotension.
Body Mass Index (BMI):
Calculates body fat based on height and weight to classify underweight, normal, overweight, or obesity levels.
Height (HT):
Measures the individual’s stature to assist in BMI calculation and growth assessment.
Weight (WT):
Determines total body mass, important for BMI, medication dosing, and general health tracking.
Overview:
These complementary measurements provide valuable baseline information that enhances interpretation of laboratory
results and supports comprehensive health assessment.
