General Kids Health Checkup – 39 Parameters for Complete Pediatric Wellness

The General Kids Health Checkup from Lab Tests Dubai is a comprehensive 39-parameter diagnostic panel designed to evaluate your child’s blood health, kidney function, hydration, infection status, and nutrient levels all from just two simple samples: blood and urine.

This advanced checkup includes:

• ✅ Complete Blood Count (CBC) – 23 Parameters – Detects anemia, infection, immunity, and blood disorders
• ✅ Vitamin & Mineral Panel – 2 Parameters – Screens for Vitamin D (Total) and Serum Iron—two of the most common deficiencies in children
• ✅ Urine Analysis – 14 Parameters – Assesses kidney function, hydration, infection, and metabolic health

This test is essential for:

• Diagnosing iron-deficiency anemia or Vitamin D deficiency
• Evaluating frequent illnesses, fatigue, or poor growth
• Detecting urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney stress, or diabetes
• Monitoring children with obesity, asthma, or chronic conditions
• Supporting school admissions, sports, or travel requirements

With results in just 1–3 days, Lab Tests Dubai empowers parents and pediatricians to catch problems early, prevent complications, and support healthy development.

Available with home blood and urine collection, this package ensures accurate, child-friendly, and stress-free testing—so your little one stays calm and comfortable.

Why You Need This Test

If your child is pale, weak, frequently ill, or not growing properly, this test could reveal hidden deficiencies, infections, or organ issues that routine checkups often miss.

You need the General Kids Health Checkup if:

• Your child has fatigue, dizziness, or pale skin
• They suffer from frequent colds, fevers, or UTIs
• They have poor appetite, slow growth, or learning issues
• They’re picky eaters, vegetarian, or avoid sunlight
• They complain of abdominal pain, bedwetting, or dark urine
• They’re starting school, sports, or traveling
• You want a complete health baseline before vaccinations or surgery

This test helps:

• Diagnose anemia before it affects school performance
• Detect low Vitamin D (common in Dubai due to indoor lifestyles)
• Identify UTIs or kidney issues early
• Assess hydration and metabolic health
• Ensure your child is thriving—not just surviving

Early testing stronger immunity, better focus, and healthier growth.

Symptoms That Indicate This Test

Consider the General Kids Health Checkup if your child shows:

✅ For Anemia & Nutrition:

• Pale skin, brittle nails, dizziness
• Fatigue, irritability, poor concentration
• Cravings for ice or dirt (pica)

✅ For Infections & Immunity:

• Frequent sore throats, fevers, or UTIs
• Swollen glands or slow healing
• High WBCs or positive nitrites in urine

✅ For Kidney & Urinary Health:

• Painful urination, bedwetting, or urgency
• Dark, cloudy, or foul-smelling urine
• Swelling in legs or face

✅ For Growth & Development:

• Delayed milestones or poor height/weight gain
• Muscle cramps or weakness (low calcium/Vitamin D)
• Hair loss or dry skin (nutrient deficiency)

These signs may point to underlying health issues and this test helps start the right care.

Natural Production: How Kids’ Bodies Use These Key Markers

Children are in a rapid phase of growth, so they need:

• Iron for hemoglobin and brain development
• Vitamin D for calcium absorption and immune function
• Healthy kidneys to filter waste and balance fluids
• Balanced WBCs to fight infections
• Proper hydration for metabolic and cognitive function

When imbalanced:

• Low iron → anemia → fatigue, poor school performance
• Low Vitamin D → weak bones, frequent infections
• High leukocytes in urine → UTI or kidney infection
• Protein or blood in urine → kidney stress or disease
• Abnormal pH or glucose → metabolic or diabetic concerns

This panel measures it all so you don’t wait for symptoms to worsen.

What Happens If Health Issues Are Left Untreated?

Ignoring childhood health imbalances can lead to:

⚠️ Chronic Anemia – poor growth, learning delays
⚠️ Recurrent Infections – weakened immunity
⚠️ Bone Deformities – from Vitamin D deficiency
⚠️ Kidney Damage – if UTIs or proteinuria go undetected
⚠️ Developmental Delays – due to untreated deficiencies
⚠️ Missed School Days & Reduced Quality of Life

The good news? Most childhood conditions are treatable with:

• Dietary changes (iron-rich foods, sunlight exposure)
• Supplements (Vitamin D, iron)
• Medications (for infections or kidney issues)
• Lifestyle adjustments (sleep, exercise, hydration)

Early testing  prevention of long-term harm.

How to Prepare for the Test

To ensure accurate results:

✅ No fasting required
✅ Collect urine as first morning void (clean-catch method)
✅ Avoid excessive fluids or sugary drinks before urine test
✅ Inform your doctor of:

• Current medications or supplements
• Recent illnesses or infections
• Dietary habits (vegetarian, dairy-free, picky eating)

A small blood draw and midstream urine sample are collected available at our labs or via home collection with child-friendly kits.
