Hello PRAMITA friends. Did you know that persistently high blood sugar levels can lead to serious health complications? According to the Indonesian Endocrinology Association, diabetes is diagnosed when random blood sugar exceeds 200 mg/dL or fasting blood sugar is over 126 mg/dL. An HbA1c level above 6.5% also confirms diabetes. Uncontrolled blood sugar can damage blood vessels and affect the heart, eyes, kidneys, and brain. Regular screening, including ECG, kidney and liver function, complete b...

Hi PRAMITA friends! Eid is a joyful moment, but our habits tend to change—irregular meals, lack of rest, and too many festive foods. These can trigger symptoms like dizziness, tingling, chest pain, or even signs of stroke and heart attack. Such symptoms may be caused by excess sugar, salt, fat, or purine intake—leading to hypertension, high blood sugar, cholesterol, or uric acid. To prevent this, don’t skip your post-Eid health screening! Get your blood pressure, heart (ECG), glucose, cholestero...

Hi, Pramita friends! If you’ve had recurring fever, sore throat, or joint pain, it might be more than just a cold—it could be rheumatic fever. Doctors typically run lab tests like ESR, CRP, and ASTO titer to detect inflammation caused by Streptococcus A bacteria. They may also check your heart through an ECG or echocardiogram, and perform a throat swab culture to confirm the infection. Early detection is key to prevent serious heart complications.

Key tests include Complete Blood Count to detect anemia or infection, Blood Sugar Test for glucose monitoring, and Urinalysis to check kidney function and urinary tract infections. Additionally, Lipid Profile helps assess fat metabolism, Electrolyte Tests ensure fluid balance, and ECG monitors heart activity. Stay healthy and energized by getting your Ramadan MCU at PRAMITA...

The first step is to consult a doctor to assess your medical history and perform a physical exam. Next, laboratory tests such as urinalysis, BUN, creatinine, and eGFR can evaluate your kidney function. If necessary, the doctor may recommend a kidney...

Hi, Pramita friends! Lung cancer remains a serious health threat, particularly for active and former smokers. Unfortunately, it often shows no symptoms in its early stages and is usually detected only when it has already advanced. Regular lung screening is crucial, especially for those with a history of smoking 20 packs per year, current smokers, or those who quit within the last 15 years. Tests include X-ray, MRI, and PET Scan to monitor lung health. Additionally, cytology tests like sputum...
