Hi, My Father is 63 and is a diabetic and also has been smoking and drinking for almost 37 years.I just wanted my father to go through a complete body check up.but bit lost to understand what exactly this complete health/body check up means.does it take the life style of one who s taking the tests and arrange the tests? like in my case since my father is smoker can i specifically ask for tests to find out the the deceases caused due to smoking?

Hi,

Welcome to HCM.

Routine check up by a GP nearby you will guide you better for which tests to be done further. Unnecessary invasive tests are not done routinely. I suggest you get complete blood count, urine analysis, liver function tests and renal function tests done for now. Once these tests are done, based on the test results, further specific tests can be suggested by his treating doctor.

Thanks.
