About this checkup
The fuller pre-admission workup: the blood group and the infectious screens with a complete blood count, creatinine, a complete urine analysis and a random sugar. Eight tests, forty-three numbers.
This is what an anaesthetist wants in front of them before a longer procedure. The blood count shows whether you are anaemic and whether the platelets are adequate for surgery, both of which affect how the operation is planned. Creatinine says whether the kidneys can clear the drugs used, which changes the doses. The urine analysis picks up a urinary infection, which is a common reason for a procedure to be postponed on the day if it is found late. HIV joins hepatitis B and C in the infection screen.
Finding any of these a week before is straightforward. Finding them on the morning of surgery usually means a cancelled slot.
Who it is for
Anyone booked for a procedure under general anaesthesia, or an operation requiring admission. Older patients and anyone with a known heart, kidney or lung condition, where the anaesthetist wants the fuller picture. Take whichever panel your surgeon or the hospital's pre-admission list specifies.
How often to repeat it
Once before the procedure, inside the date window your hospital accepts — usually 30 days, sometimes 7 to 14. A repeat is needed if surgery is postponed beyond that window.

How to prepare
- No fasting is needed for this panel.
- Collect a first-morning urine sample for the analysis; the phlebotomist brings a sterile container to the visit.
- Take all your regular medicines as usual, and tell the phlebotomist what you take, especially blood thinners and diabetes medication.
- Book at least a week before the date so that anything found can be treated without moving the surgery.
- Carry the printed reports to the pre-admission appointment.
What it does not look at
There is no clotting study (PT/INR), no liver panel, no thyroid and no ECG here. Hospitals often ask for a PT/INR and an ECG separately, so check your pre-admission list against this panel before booking.
Why take it
- Anaemia is corrected before surgery, not during it: A low haemoglobin found now can be treated in the weeks beforehand, which lowers the chance of needing a transfusion.
- Kidney function sets the drug doses: Creatinine tells the anaesthetist how the body will clear what is given, and the doses are adjusted to it.
- A urine infection cancels operations: It is common, easily missed and treated with a few days of antibiotics if it is found in time.
- Platelets and clotting matter for bleeding: The blood count includes the platelet count, which the surgical team checks before any incision.
- One home visit covers the whole list: Eight tests, no fasting, and the reports in your hand within 8 hours.
Questions about IHC Pre-operative Checkup II
How is this different from Pre-operative Checkup I?
Checkup I is four tests — random sugar, blood group and hepatitis B and C — for a short day procedure. This adds a complete blood count, creatinine, a complete urine analysis and HIV, which is what an anaesthetist wants before general anaesthesia or an admission.
Does this cover everything my hospital will ask for?
Not always. Many pre-admission lists also want a PT/INR clotting study and an ECG, neither of which is in this panel. Compare the hospital's list against these eight tests and arrange anything missing separately.
Do I need to fast?
No. Nothing in this panel needs fasting, including the random blood sugar, which is meant to be taken without one.
Why is a urine test part of a pre-operative panel?
A urinary infection is common, often causes no symptoms, and is one of the usual reasons a procedure is postponed on the day. A few days of antibiotics clears it if it is found a week beforehand.
When should I book this relative to my surgery date?
About a week to ten days before, and within whatever window your hospital accepts. That leaves time to treat an infection or correct a low haemoglobin without moving the date.
