    What is a Pre-Chemotherapy Blood Checkup ?

    Before beginning chemotherapy, a Pre-Chemotherapy Blood Checkup is performed to ensure your body is prepared for the treatment. Chemotherapy can impact various functions, so these tests are vital to evaluate your overall health in advance.

    This comprehensive set of tests reviews the health of your blood, liver, kidneys, and clotting mechanisms. A complete blood count measures red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets, which are often affected by chemotherapy-induced bone marrow suppression.

    Tests for liver and kidney function, including SGOT, SGPT, bilirubin, electrolytes, and kidney performance, assess whether your body can handle and process chemotherapy drugs effectively.

    The checkup also includes tests for blood sugar and clotting time (such as prothrombin time), offering a thorough understanding of your health. These evaluations allow your doctor to personalise your chemotherapy approach, lowering risks and maximising treatment benefits.

    Pre-Chemotherapy Blood Checkup Parameters

    Liver Function Test (LFT)

    The Liver Function Test (LFT) is a group of tests used to evaluate the health of your liver. It measures the levels of proteins, liver enzymes, and bilirubin in your blood. An LFT can help diagnose liver diseases such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, or liver cancer.

    • Alkaline Phosphatase

    • SGOT / AST - Aspartate AminoTransferase

    • Alanine AminoTransferase/ ALT (SGPT)

    • Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT)

    • Total Bilirubin

    • Direct Bilirubin

    • Indirect Bilirubin

    • Total protein

    • ALBUMIN

    • Globulin

    • A:G ratio

    Prothrombin Time (PT/INR)

    The PT test measures how long it takes for your blood to clot. It's often used to monitor individuals who are taking blood-thinning medications, or to help diagnose clotting disorders.

    Blood Sugar

    This test measures the amount of glucose, or sugar, in the blood. It's typically used to screen for, diagnose, or monitor diabetes. It can be done in a fasting state, randomly or post-meal (postprandial).

    Kidney Function Test with Electrolytes (KFT / RFT)

    The Kidney Function Test with Electrolytes, also known as Renal Function Test (RFT), is a group of tests that evaluate how well the kidneys are working. This includes measurements of electrolyte levels (like sodium, potassium, and chloride), BUN (blood urea nitrogen), creatinine, and GFR (glomerular filtration rate), which can help assess kidney health and diagnose kidney-related conditions.

    • Urea

    • Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)

    • Uric acid

    • Phosphorus

    • Calcium

    • Creatinine

    • eGFR

    • Sodium

    • Potassium

    • Chloride

    Complete Blood Count (CBC) with ESR

    This is a combination of the Complete Blood Count (CBC), which measures various components of the blood, along with the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR). The ESR is a type of blood test that measures how quickly erythrocytes (red blood cells) settle at the bottom of a test tube containing a blood sample. A faster than normal rate may indicate a systemic disease, such as inflammation, infection, or cancer.

    • Red Blood Cell Count (RBC Count)

    • HEMATOCRIT

    • Haemoglobin (Hb)

    • Total WBC Count (TC)

    • MCV

    • MCH

    • MCHC

    • RDW

    • Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC)

    • Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC)

    • Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC)

    • Absolute monocyte count

    • absolute basophil count

    • platelets

    • neutrophil

    • Monocyte

    • Eosinophils

    • Basophils

    • mentzer index

    • Sehgal Index

    • platelet hematocrit

    • Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)

    • MPV

    • Neutrophil lymphocyte ratio

    • lymphocyte count

    Cautions Before Taking a Pre-Chemotherapy Blood Checkup

    No specific preparation is needed to carry out this checkup at home.

    Why Take the Pre-Chemotherapy Blood Checkup Checkup?

    A Pre-Chemotherapy Blood Checkup helps confirm that your body is ready for chemotherapy. The tests focus on red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets, as chemotherapy can lower their levels by affecting bone marrow function. Low RBC counts might require a transfusion, and reduced WBC or platelet levels could make proceeding with treatment unsafe.

    The checkup also examines the function of your kidneys and liver, which are crucial for metabolising chemotherapy drugs. Liver health is assessed through SGOT, SGPT, and bilirubin tests, while kidney function is measured using urea, creatinine, and electrolytes. These results ensure your organs can handle the treatment effectively.

    Tests for blood sugar and clotting time are also included, giving your doctor a comprehensive understanding of your health.

    By completing this checkup, any potential problems can be addressed early, ensuring a safer treatment plan. The results act as a baseline, allowing doctors to track changes throughout your therapy. If any issues arise, treatment adjustments can be made to reduce risks. Regular monitoring ensures chemotherapy remains effective and personalised to your needs.
