“Be kind to your kidneys - we can't live without them” |
One in three adults has an increased risk of developing kidney disease, one in seven shows at least one sign of existing kidney damage and one in 35 actually has chronic kidney disease. Most of us take our kidneys for granted, and many do not even know what they do.
The cause of kidney disease is not always known. However, many conditions and diseases can damage kidneys and lead to chronic kidney disease like Diabetes, High blood pressure (hypertension), overuse of medication and Infection.
It is not uncommon for people to lose up to 90% of their kidney function before developing any symptoms.
The good news is that kidney failure can be prevented if it is detected early and managed appropriately.

| LungCare |
| Get the Lung Care You Need—at the Right Time and from the Right Source |
From the first moments of life, we have enjoyed the ability to breath without effort or forethought. But breathing can be hindered for a variety of reasons and many people experience shortness of breath, difficulty climbing stairs, a stubborn cough, or wheezing. As you breathe, you take in the oxygen needed to allow your pulmonary system to function. However, with every breath you take, your lungs are also exposed to airborne bacteria, viruses and allergens, all of which can potentially cause lung disorders. Although minor irritants may only affect your breathing temporarily, irritants or disease can cause severe lung damage and greatly endanger your respiratory health.
Harmful gases and chemicals are just one type of airborne pollutant that can adversely affect the lungs which include vehicle exhaust. Other factors include localized pollutants such as arsenic, asbestos, lead, and mercury, outdoor pollutants caused by industry and intensified by weather conditions, tobacco/cigarette smoke and also pollen. Studies show that around 52 percent of the deaths are due to lung diseases.
Many of these diseases are progressive, because the irritants stay in the lungs for long. |
| So take up a simple LungCare check at our centre which intends to provide information against any warning signs of lung disease and evaluate the basic functioning of your lungs. |

| “We know you are sweet, but it’s better to check.” |
Lots of people have a condition called pre-diabetes. They have higher-than-normal blood sugar levels, but not high enough to be called diabetes.
10% of the deaths caused due to non-communicable diseases is due diabetes in India.
Diabetes screening is recommended for many people at various stages of life, and for those with any of several risk factors.
Diabetes is the primary reason for adult blindness, kidney diseases,
gangrene and amputations. Overweight, lack of exercise, family history and stress increases the likelihood of developing diabetes.
When blood sugar level is uncontrolled it affects primarily the important organs like the Eye leading to complications like blurring of vision, blank spots or even blindness. Increased blood sugar can also affect the kidneys leading to kidney failure. Cardiovascular problems associated with high blood sugar include increased blood pressure, heart attacks etc. High blood sugar level over the time can damage the nerves and blood vessels leading to complications of the foot wherein there is loss of sensation and non healing ulcers culminating in gangrene and thereby amputation.
Having complete diabetes information is very essential as, Diabetes is not completely curable but can be managed for years together
.The Diabetic Basic Package having the following components is intended to help known Diabetics monitor their sugar levels and also to determine or not you have pre-diabetes |

| “Time to take care of your bones” |
All humans lose bone density starting between the ages of 30 and 40. Excessive bone calcium loss affects over 20 million people, mostly women who are 45 and older. Although osteoporosis primarily strikes women after menopause, it is something all of us would be wise to prevent. Considering that we can build bone primarily up to age 30, young people should do their best to build their bone mass now. Failing to do so is not something that will become apparent until later in life. Osteoporosis may not be discovered until after a fall. This is truly a silent disease. People in their late 40s may be developing low bone mass and not even know it!
Calcium is essential for maintaining bone health and insufficient calcium can lead to osteoporosis in the elderly as well as a number of other conditions. Bones and joints give one the ability to move freely; once they get affected, even day-to-day activities will be hard to carry out.
Avail a simple Rheumacare Check at our centre with advanced and non invasive techniques like Bone densitometre which allows objective and quantitative assessment of the mineral density or calcium composition of your bones. It is used to determine if you have or are at risk for developing osteoporosis. There is no pain at all associated with the bone densitometry examination and can be done at a very short time. |

| Post Exposure Care |
| “Worried about an accidental exposure to an infectious sample?” |
With a mortality rate of 24 percent due to sexually transmitted diseases, anyone can be at risk.
Sexually transmitted diseases are infectious diseases that spread from person to person through intimate contact. STDs are more than just an embarrassment. They're a serious health problem. If untreated, some STDs can cause permanent damage, such as infertility (the inability to have a baby) and even death (in the case of HIV/AIDS). One reason STDs spread is because people think they need to have sexual intercourse to become infected. That's wrong. A person can get some STDs, through skin-to-skin contact with an infected area or sore, unstelized needles, unsafe practices and even blood transmissions.
STDs also spread easily because you can't tell whether someone has an infection. In fact, some people with STDs don't even know that they have them. These people are in danger of passing an infection on to their sex partners without even realizing it.
Don't let embarrassment at the thought of having an STD keep you from seeking medical attention. Waiting to see a doctor may allow a disease to progress and cause more damage.
If you think you may have an STD, or if you have had a partner, who may have an STD, get a post exposure check right away with complete confidentiality. |
