Who It Suits

- High-protein or calorie-controlled diets

- Training in the heat, where dehydration is common
How to Prepare
Fast for 8 to 10 hours before your visit, drinking water only, and book a morning appointment. Avoid very intense training for 24 to 48 hours before the test, as hard exercise can temporarily change some results, such as kidney markers and liver enzymes. Bring a list of any supplements you take.
Understanding Your Results
Most results are ready within 24 to 48 hours. The doctor goes through them with you and links them to your training, diet and supplements, so you know what is working well and whether anything needs attention.

Common questions
I train regularly and feel fit. Why do I need a blood test?
Fitness on the outside does not always show what is happening inside. Cholesterol, blood sugar and liver changes often cause no symptoms, even in people who exercise.
I take protein supplements. Should I check my kidneys?
A high-protein diet increases the work the kidneys do. Urea, creatinine and eGFR show whether your kidney function is in the normal range.
What does eGFR show?
eGFR is an estimate of how well your kidneys filter the blood, worked out from creatinine together with your age and sex.
Can supplements affect liver results?
Some supplements can change liver enzyme levels, so tell the doctor everything you take and the results can be read in context.
I feel tired even though I train well. What could be the cause?
Low haemoglobin, a thyroid imbalance, low vitamin D or a hormone change can all cause tiredness, and this package checks each of them.
Why is testosterone tested?
Testosterone affects muscle, recovery, energy and mood. The doctor interprets the result for your age and sex.
Why is vitamin D tested if I live somewhere sunny?
Many people in the UAE train indoors and avoid the midday sun, so vitamin D is often low, which can affect muscle strength and recovery.
Do I need to fast before the test?
Yes. Fast for 8 to 10 hours, drinking water only, and book a morning appointment, as the package includes fasting blood glucose and cholesterol.
When will I get my results?
Most results are ready within 24 to 48 hours, and the doctor explains them with you.
How often should I repeat this check?
Once a year suits most people, or sooner if your training, diet or supplements change significantly.
Why check your health if you train?
Regular exercise is one of the best things you can do for your health, but fitness and health are not the same. Intense training, high-protein diets, supplements and cutting phases can affect the kidneys, liver, cholesterol and blood count. Some people who look fit have raised blood pressure, cholesterol or blood sugar without knowing. A baseline check lets you train with confidence and track changes over time.
Supplements and your results
Tell your doctor about any protein powders, creatine, pre-workouts, fat burners, testosterone boosters or steroids you use. Creatine can raise creatinine on a kidney test, and some supplements can affect liver tests. Knowing what you take helps your doctor read your results correctly, and anything you share stays confidential.
Training safely in the UAE heat
- Drink water before, during and after training
- Avoid outdoor training in the hottest hours
- Watch for dizziness, chest pain or unusual breathlessness and stop if they happen
- Build intensity gradually after time off
