Laboratory panels, screening panels, and health packages are designed to be **cost-effective, efficient, and clinically meaningful** because they leverage the principle of “Multiplexing”. Tests are grouped together—such as LFT, KFT, Lipid Profile, or Diabetes Panels—because **organ systems and metabolic pathways are interconnected**. An abnormal result in one test often requires context from related tests to accurately evaluate **overall health, detect early disease, or guide treatment**.
Additionally, preventive and wellness panels—like Cancer Screening, Cardiovascular Risk, Fertility, and Pregnancy Full Panels—provide **holistic insights**. They combine biochemical, hormonal, metabolic, and organ function tests to enable **early detection, risk assessment, and personalized healthcare decisions**. By integrating multiple related tests, doctors and patients can make informed decisions faster, reduce unnecessary repeated tests, and track **health trends over time**.
Tip: Always choose panels based on **age, gender, lifestyle, and medical conditions** for maximum clinical relevance. Pediatric, adult, senior, male, female, metabolic, and reproductive-specific panels ensure that results are tailored and actionable.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a laboratory panel, screening panel, and health package? +
Laboratory panels are groups of related tests used to evaluate specific organ systems (e.g., CBC, LFT, KFT).
Screening panels are preventive bundles aimed at detecting early disease in asymptomatic individuals (e.g., Diabetes, Cancer, Cardiovascular risk).
Health packages are comprehensive wellness assessments combining multiple lab and screening tests for overall health evaluation (e.g., Executive Full Body, Fertility, Pregnancy Full Panel).
How often should I get a full health panel? +
– Healthy adults under 40: every 2–3 years.
– Adults 40+ or those with chronic conditions: annually.
– Seniors or high-risk patients may require more frequent monitoring based on doctor recommendations.
Why are tests grouped together in panels? +
Panels use Multiplexing, combining related tests because organ systems are interconnected. One abnormal result often requires context from other tests to provide an accurate diagnosis, track health trends, or assess disease risk efficiently.
Are these panels suitable for all ages and genders? +
Panels are tailored for different groups: pediatric, adult, and senior. Certain panels are gender-specific (e.g., Men’s Health, Women’s Health, Fertility, Pregnancy, Prostate or Breast Cancer Screening). Filters like age, gender, and condition ensure clinical relevance and actionable results.
Do I need to fast or prepare before taking these tests? +
– Fasting is usually required for glucose, lipid, and certain metabolic tests (8–12 hours).
– Hormonal, vitamin, and coagulation tests may have specific preparation guidelines.
– Always follow your laboratory’s instructions for accurate results.
How long does it take to get results? +
– Most panels: 24–72 hours.
– Specialized tests (hormonal, tumor markers, or prenatal screening): may take longer.
– Turnaround time is noted in each panel’s card for convenience.
Can panels detect diseases early? +
Yes. Screening panels, preventive health packages, and targeted lab tests are designed for early detection of conditions like diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, and nutritional deficiencies. Early detection allows timely intervention and better health outcomes.
Are these tests safe for pregnant women and newborns? +
Yes. Panels like the Pregnancy Full Panel and Newborn Screening are specifically designed for maternal and neonatal health, following clinical guidelines to ensure safety and accuracy.
Can I choose panels based on my condition or risk factors? +
Absolutely. Filters for age, gender, and condition (e.g., metabolic, cardiovascular, diabetes, cancer, fertility) allow you to select the most appropriate panel for your health needs.
Do I need a doctor’s prescription for these panels? +
Some panels may require a physician’s prescription depending on local regulations, while others (like general wellness or preventive packages) can be ordered directly for screening purposes. Always check with your lab or healthcare provider.
