Routine Health Basic

A foundational health screen covering full blood count, liver and kidney function, a complete lipid panel, fasting glucose, and C-reactive protein. Provides a solid baseline for general health monitoring and screens for common conditions including anaemia, diabetes risk, liver dysfunction, and cardiovascular risk factors.

A routine health screen is the foundation of proactive health management, and this basic panel covers the essential markers that GPs typically request during an annual check-up. The full blood count examines red cells, white cells, and platelets to screen for conditions like anaemia, infection, and blood disorders. Liver function tests assess enzymes and proteins produced by the liver, while kidney function markers (urea, electrolytes, creatinine) evaluate how effectively your kidneys are filtering waste. The lipid panel measures total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, and LDL — the core markers used to estimate cardiovascular risk. Elevated LDL cholesterol is associated with arterial plaque formation, while HDL is commonly considered protective. Fasting glucose provides a snapshot of blood sugar regulation and may help identify early insulin resistance or diabetes risk. C-reactive protein (CRP) rounds out the panel as a general marker of systemic inflammation. Persistently elevated CRP is associated with increased cardiovascular risk and may indicate underlying infections or chronic inflammatory conditions. For adults in Perth looking to establish a health baseline or track changes year over year, this panel covers the essentials without the cost of a comprehensive screen.
