Women Advanced Bronze

The women advanced bronze package is a comprehensive health check-up designed to evaluate multiple aspects of a woman’s health through a single set of laboratory investigations. By assessing several health parameters together, it can help identify early signs of nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, metabolic disorders, and organ dysfunction, even before noticeable symptoms develop.

This package contains 89 tests that assess blood health, blood sugar, cholesterol, liver and kidney function, thyroid health, electrolyte balance, and levels of essential vitamins and minerals. It also includes female hormone tests that provide useful information about reproductive health and may support the evaluation of menstrual irregularities, fertility concerns, or hormonal changes during different stages of life. This package may be recommended for women experiencing persistent fatigue, unexplained weight changes, hair fall, irregular menstrual cycles, low energy levels, or other symptoms that could be related to underlying nutritional or hormonal issues. It is equally valuable as a routine preventive screening for women who wish to monitor their health regularly, especially if they have a family history of chronic conditions or lead a busy lifestyle that may affect their overall health.

The package requires a blood sample and a urine sample which will be collected from your home by a trained phlebotomist at a time of your choosing. An overnight fast may be required depending on the tests included, as some of them in the package are best performed in the fasting state. The results should always be interpreted by your doctor, who can correlate them with your symptoms, medical history, and other investigations if needed to guide further evaluation, treatment, or lifestyle recommendations.

The women advanced bronze package may be beneficial for:

• Women seeking a routine health assessment: Regular health check-ups can help monitor overall health and detect potential concerns before symptoms become noticeable.
• Women experiencing unexplained symptoms: Those with persistent fatigue, weakness, hair fall, unexplained weight changes, or reduced energy levels.
• Women with menstrual or hormonal concerns: those with irregular menstrual cycles, fertility concerns, or symptoms suggestive of hormonal imbalances, such as mood changes or changes in menstrual patterns.
• Women with a family history of chronic conditions: Individuals with a family history of diabetes, thyroid disorders, high cholesterol, or other metabolic conditions.
• Women planning a pregnancy: Assessing nutritional status and overall health before conception can help identify deficiencies or health issues that may benefit from medical attention before pregnancy.
• Women at risk of nutritional deficiencies: Those with restrictive diets, increased nutritional requirements, or conditions that affect nutrient absorption may benefit from assessing vitamin and mineral levels.
• Individuals advised by their doctor: Your healthcare provider may recommend this package as part of a routine health evaluation, follow-up of existing conditions, or to investigate multiple symptoms together.

The women advanced bronze package can help identify abnormalities or changes across multiple aspects of your health, including:

• Anaemia and other blood-related abnormalities through a complete blood count.
• Prediabetes and diabetes by assessing blood sugar levels.
• High cholesterol and abnormal lipid levels, which are risk factors for heart disease and stroke.
• Liver and kidney function abnormalities, which may indicate impaired organ function.
• Thyroid disorders, such as an underactive or overactive thyroid.
• Vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
• Electrolyte imbalances, which can affect nerve, muscle, and heart function.
• Hormonal imbalances, that may be associated with menstrual irregularities, fertility concerns, or menopause-related changes.
• Urinary abnormalities, such as signs of urinary tract infections, kidney disorders, or other conditions that may require further evaluation.

Note-The results of this package should always be interpreted by a doctor in conjunction with your symptoms, medical history, physical examination, and, if required, additional diagnostic tests.

What to expect before the sample collection:

• Your doctor may recommend fasting for 8 to 12 hours before sample collection, as some tests included in the package are best performed in the fasting state. You may drink plain water during this period unless advised otherwise. Avoid beverages such as tea, coffee and fruit juices.
• Inform your healthcare provider about any medications, vitamin supplements, or existing medical conditions, as these can influence the results of certain tests.
• Avoid alcohol and strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours before the test, as these may temporarily affect the results of certain investigations.
• If the package is being used to evaluate fertility or certain hormonal conditions, your doctor may advise scheduling hormone tests such as FSH and LH on specific days of your menstrual cycle to ensure accurate interpretation.

What to expect during the sample collection:

Blood sample collection

• The sample collection process is simple and usually takes only a few minutes.
• A trained phlebotomist will visit your home at the scheduled time and will collect a blood sample from a vein in your arm using a sterile needle after cleaning the area with an antiseptic.
• You may experience a brief pinprick or mild discomfort when the needle is inserted, but the procedure is generally well tolerated.
• Once the blood sample has been collected, gentle pressure will be applied to the site, and a small bandage may be placed to minimise bleeding.

Urine sample collection

• You will also be asked to provide a urine sample in a sterile container. Before collecting the sample, cleaning the genital area as instructed may help prevent contamination.
• In most cases, a midstream urine sample is preferred, which involves passing the first portion of urine into the toilet and collecting the middle portion in the container. This helps reduce contamination.
• During the entire process, ensure that you do not touch the inner portion of the container with your fingers.
• Once the sample is collected, securely close the container and hand it over to the phlebotomist.

Once both samples have been collected, they will be sent to the laboratory for analysis.

What to expect after the sample collection:

• You can resume normal diet, medications and activities soon after this test, unless advised otherwise by your doctor.
• Mild pain, bruising, or tenderness at the blood collection site may occur but typically resolves within a day or two without treatment.
• Once the analysis of your samples is completed, the reports will be uploaded on the PharmEasy platform, from where they can be downloaded.
• Your results will be reviewed by your doctor, who will interpret them along with your symptoms, medical history, and any other investigations before recommending further evaluation, treatment, or lifestyle modifications, if required.

Note: If you notice persistent bleeding, increasing pain, swelling, redness, or a rash at the puncture site, such as persistent bleeding, rashes, or pain, consult your healthcare provider.

The women advanced bronze package includes 20 test panels that contain 89 individual test parameters overall, all from a single blood sample:

Reference ranges vary slightly between laboratories and across age groups; your final report carries the exact ranges used by the testing lab. The values below are widely used adult reference ranges, provided for general understanding.

Complete Blood Count (CBC): 24 Parameters

CBC provides valuable information about your overall health. It can help detect conditions such as anaemia, infections, inflammation, and certain blood disorders and also iron deficiency anaemia which is common among women.

Lipid Profile: 10 parameters

Hormonal changes in women during different stages of life can influence lipid levels and cardiovascular risk. Early identification of abnormal cholesterol levels can help guide lifestyle modifications or medical management, where appropriate, to reduce the risk of heart disease and support long-term heart health.

Liver Function Test : 12 parameters

Liver function tests help assess the health of your liver, which is essential for metabolism, production and regulation of certain hormones, digestion, and detoxification. Regular monitoring may be important for women, as hormonal changes, pregnancy, certain medications, and fatty liver disease can affect liver health.

Thyroid Profile: 3 parameters

Thyroid disorders are more common in women and can affect metabolism, menstrual health, fertility, pregnancy, and overall well-being.

Renal/ Kidney Function Test: 8 Parameters

Kidney function tests help assess how well your kidneys filter waste and maintain fluid and electrolyte balance. Conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, pregnancy-related complications, and certain medications can affect kidney health.

Iron Profile: 4 Parameters

Iron studies help assess your body’s iron status and identify iron deficiency or overload. Regular monitoring is especially important for women, as menstruation, pregnancy, and increased iron needs can raise the risk of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia.

Glycosylated haemoglobin test (HbA1c): 2 parameters and Fasting blood sugar:1 parameter 

Blood glucose tests assess your current and long-term blood sugar control. HbA1c reflects average blood sugar over the past 2–3 months, while the calculated average blood glucose (ABG) helps interpret overall glucose control.

Other blood tests: 11 tests

These tests assess your nutritional status, electrolyte balance, inflammation, and hormonal health. They help support the evaluation of fertility, menstrual and menopausal health, detect vitamin deficiencies, monitor nerve, muscle, and bone function, and identify abnormalities associated with inflammation or metabolic imbalances.

Routine urine analysis : 14 parameters

Women are at a higher risk of urinary tract infections and certain kidney conditions. A complete urine analysis helps identify abnormalities that may suggest urinary tract infections, kidney disorders, diabetes-related changes, dehydration, and other metabolic abnormalities.

Important Note: Normal ranges vary between laboratories and assay methods. Please refer your reports with your doctor for better understanding.
