Kidneys play a vital role in the human body. They clean blood and create urine to expel toxins and waste. Kidney health tests help doctors understand the function and state of your kidneys.
How often you should test your kidneys depends on your medical history and lifestyle, including:
When planning for a baby, it’s important to know where you stand in terms of your reproductive health. Fertility changes over time. Early testing gives you insight into your hormonal balance, egg health, and any underlying issues that might affect conception.
With the right information, you can plan your journey to parenthood with confidence, and take steps to address any concerns early.
A strong immune system is the key to staying healthy. It defends the body from infection. If you're frequently feeling unwell or are slow to recover, you may be in the 5% of Australians with an autoimmune disease. Testing can help you identify and manage issues early on.
Anaemia is defined as a lack or low level of oxygen-carrying haemoglobin (red blood cells) in the blood. This causes people to experience fatigue and heart problems, and they may be susceptible to infections. Approximately 12% of Australian women are anaemic. Anaemia can be diagnosed by a simple blood test.
It is essential for sexually active individuals to get tested regularly for STIs (sexually transmitted infections) and/or STDs (sexually transmitted diseases). This is especially important if you have new or multiple partners. Remember: many STIs and STDs don’t cause symptoms, which is why you should get tested on a regular basis.
Take the guesswork out of your sexual health, stay safe, and request a referral to get tested with Updoc. It’s confidential, convenient, and you can get a pathology request from the comfort of your own home.
How often you should get tested will depend on your sexual activity and other health risk factors. Around 16% of Australians will have an STI in their lifetime – they’re more common than you might think. Early detection is key for treatment and management.
