or herbs, fat infiltration, tumours and bile duct blockage.
Renal Function

cancers, cysts and urinary tract infections.
Diabetic Screen
Measures the glucose level to exclude diabetes mellitus and impaired
glucose metabolism.
Lipid Studies

RPR (STD Test)
Tests for exposure to the Syphilis pathogen, Treponema palladium.
Untreated syphilis begins to damage the internal organs, including the
brain, nerves, eyes, heart, blood vessels, liver, bones, and joints.
In about one-third of untreated persons, this internal damage shows up
many years later in the late or tertiary stage of syphilis.
Blood Group
Determines the blood group type. A personalised blood group card is
provided.
Rheumatoid Factor
Used to help diagnose rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to distinguish it
from other forms of arthritis and other conditions that cause similar
symptoms of joint pain, inflammation, and stiffness.
Thyroid Screen
Checks the function of the thyroid gland to exclude an overactive or
underactive gland. Some symptoms include weakness, sleeping
difficulty, heartbeat sensations, hair loss, cold intolerance and
weight gain/loss.
Hepatitis B
Screen
Checks to see if the Hepatitis B virus is in the body and/or if there
is immunity to the virus. If there is no immunity, immunisation shots
can be administered.
