Check Up

iMEDICAL's standard health check adds a full blood count with ESR to the comprehensive metabolic panel, providing a complete overview of blood cell health alongside metabolic, liver, kidney, lipid, and inflammation markers. The FBC reveals red and white blood cell counts, haemoglobin, platelets, and ESR — useful for detecting anaemia, infection, and inflammatory conditions.

Building on the Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, the Check Up adds a Full Blood Count with Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR). The FBC examines your red blood cells (haemoglobin, haematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC), white blood cells (total and differential count including neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils), and platelets. This combination screens for anaemia, infection, blood cancers, clotting disorders, and chronic inflammatory conditions. ESR measures how quickly red blood cells settle in a tube — faster settling indicates higher inflammation levels. Unlike CRP which responds rapidly to acute inflammation, ESR reflects chronic inflammation over weeks, making the two tests complementary. Combined with the metabolic, liver, kidney, lipid, and glucose markers, this panel gives a thorough overview of your health for under $80 — making regular self-monitoring practical and affordable.
