Blood test

[CallumWK]

Just off the phone with Somdej hospital in Sriracha.

Can do an annual check up, which should included everything. No need to see doctor, just walk in and proceed to the health department.

Price is 1400 baht.

I get blood tests every 2 months in my local government hospital for cholesterol etc. I see on the price list PSA test but not the others. But you can ask for the price for others. I recently asked for the price for a vitamin d test, she looked it up online and it was 900 thb. There is an extra 200 service charge and a bit more if you want to see the doctor. But you don't have to see a doctor. The price for me is in the last column.

 

Thanks, very helpful.

I asked the lady if Hb1ac was included, and she confirmed, but I don't see it on your list.

There is a sugar test on your list, but that could just be simple blood sugar test, so will have to double check with them when I'm there.

Make sure they understand which you want to be tested for or you will end up paying for tests you do not need. Get a price list like mine if you can, and point out which ones you want.

Yes good idea. @Sheryl maybe you can give a list of what should be included?

I don't experience any issues currently, just want to check if anything is simmering. In my opinion, PSA - Hb1ac and cholesterol would be the most important ones, and kidney, but not sure which tests are needed for the latter.

I have had my blood tested at Surin Government Hospital every 3 months for the last 2 years and have never needed a doctor's order. I get a complete profile including A1C, Lipid, Kidney function and PSA for around 1500 baht.

There is a difference from having a check up at a hospital which offers check up packages, and having a few, less common, specific tests done. The OP sounded like he wanted the latter. Now it seems he may want the former,

 

@CallumWK please clarify what you are seeking. An overall checkup or specific tests related to a known (or suspected) health problem? Note that the few, very specific tests you originally  mentioned might not a appear in a check up package and may have to be added on (forget the PHI, that isn't a test anyway but a calculation based on 3 other parameters, only 2 of which -- PSA and free PSA -- are widely available even at large hospitals. Free PSA usually only done if overall PSA is elevated).

 

If what you want is an overall check up then indicate your age, any known medical problems or significant family history. All private hospitals, and most larger government hospitals, offer check up packages of one sort or another.
