Pre operation Profile - (£131)

The Pre-Operation Profile is a detailed blood test designed to evaluate key health parameters and ensure that your body is prepared for surgery. This comprehensive screening assesses blood health, kidney function, and infectious disease markers to help detect any potential issues that could affect surgical safety or recovery.

Who is this profile for?
This profile is ideal for individuals scheduled for any type of surgical procedure. It is especially important for patients with underlying medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or kidney disease. The test allows doctors to evaluate overall health, identify potential complications, and ensure that the patient is medically fit for anesthesia and surgery.

What can be detected?
The Pre-Operation Profile includes a broad range of tests to assess multiple body systems:
– Blood health: Evaluates red and white blood cell counts, hemoglobin levels, and platelets to identify anemia, infections, or clotting issues.
– Kidney function: Measures urea and creatinine levels to determine how efficiently the kidneys are filtering waste from the body.
– Infectious disease status: Screens for Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg), Hepatitis C Virus Antibody (Anti-HCV), and HIV Antibody/Antigen to ensure the absence of transmissible infections prior to surgery.

When to get tested
This profile should be completed before any surgical procedure to confirm that your health status supports safe anesthesia and surgery. It provides vital information to healthcare professionals to plan appropriate surgical and post-operative care.

Fasting requirements
Fasting for 8–12 hours prior to the test is recommended for accurate results. Only water is allowed during this period.

Key benefits
The Pre-Operation Profile ensures that you are in optimal health before undergoing surgery. By identifying possible health risks, such as anemia, infections, or kidney issues, it allows your healthcare team to take preventive measures, reducing surgical complications and promoting faster recovery.
