What this package is for
Sugar, cholesterol, liver & kidney check
This is a short wellness package that looks at sugar, cholesterol, uric acid, the liver and the kidneys. It includes total cholesterol, uric acid, SGPT (ALT) as a liver marker, serum creatinine for kidney function, and a random blood sugar. It suits anyone who wants a quick check of common lifestyle risks, for example after the rich meals of the Eid holidays.
Who this package is for
- You want a short check after the rich meals and sweets of the festive season
- You have had gout or joint pain and want to check your uric acid
- You have not checked your cholesterol, sugar or kidneys for a while
- You want a simple family check that covers common lifestyle risks
How to prepare
Fasting: Needed; you are told how long to fast when you book, and plain water is fine.
Fasting is needed for this package; you are told how long to fast when you book, and you can drink plain water. Avoid alcohol the evening before, and keep your evening meal ordinary rather than rich, as a large meat-heavy meal can raise uric acid. Continue your regular medicines unless your doctor advises otherwise.

What the results can mean
A raised uric acid can be linked to gout or kidney stones, a high total cholesterol adds to heart risk, and a raised SGPT can point to fatty liver or other liver strain. A raised creatinine may mean the kidneys are not filtering as well as they should, and a high blood sugar can point to diabetes, which needs a confirming test. Your doctor will interpret the results and may suggest fuller tests, such as a lipid profile or HbA1c, if something is outside the range.

Questions people ask
What does a random blood sugar show?
It measures the sugar in your blood at the moment the sample is taken, whatever you last ate. A high result can point to diabetes, which your doctor confirms with a fasting sugar or HbA1c rather than one reading.
Can festive food affect my test results?
Very rich meals shortly before a test can raise some results, such as uric acid and blood sugar. Eating as you normally do in the days before gives a truer picture of your usual health.
Is total cholesterol enough to check heart risk?
It is a useful first look. A full lipid profile, which separates LDL, HDL and triglycerides, gives your doctor more detail if your total cholesterol is high or you have other risk factors.
What does high uric acid mean?
Uric acid comes from the breakdown of purines, substances made in the body and found in foods such as red meat, organ meat and some seafood. High levels can lead to gout or kidney stones, though many people with a high level never develop symptoms.
