What Is a Mini Medical?

A Mini Medical is a streamlined health check-up that focuses on key indicators of your overall well-being. It includes the following assessments:

Blood Pressure Check

High blood pressure often has no symptoms but can lead to serious conditions like heart disease or stroke. Regular monitoring helps you stay informed about your cardiovascular health.

Height and Weight Measurements

These basic metrics help assess your Body Mass Index (BMI), a simple but important measure of whether you’re within a healthy weight range.

QRisk Calculation

QRisk is a tool used to estimate your risk of developing cardiovascular disease over the next 10 years. It’s based on factors such as age, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and lifestyle habits.

Basic Enhanced Blood Tests

Our Mini Medical includes a series of blood tests designed to give a snapshot of your internal health:

Lipid Screening: This test measures the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood, helping assess your risk for heart disease.

Renal Function: These tests evaluate how well your kidneys are working and can detect early signs of kidney disease.

Liver Function: Liver tests check for liver damage or disease, which can occur even if you’re not experiencing symptoms.
