Health screening in Nigeria
Hypertension, type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease are diagnosed late in Nigeria far more often than they need to be — usually because nobody measured anything until symptoms arrived. These pages explain the tests available from a Nigerian lab or HMO package, what the numbers mean, and how to turn them into a risk estimate before your next appointment.
Start with the numbers you already have
If you've had a general check-up, the printout already has most of what a risk score needs. Type the values in — or photograph the report and let the scanner prefill them — and Preventive Health Checks scores them against standard clinical ranges, in mg/dL or mmol/L, with naira pricing on paid tiers.

Medical check-up in Nigeria: what a useful panel actually contains
What a worthwhile medical check-up in Nigeria should measure, how often to repeat it, and how to turn the lab printout into a 10-year risk estimate you can act on.
Fasting blood sugar: normal range, prediabetes and diabetes thresholds
Fasting blood sugar normal range in mg/dL and mmol/L, the prediabetes and diabetes cut-offs, how HbA1c fits in, and what to do about a raised reading.
Blood pressure chart: normal, elevated and hypertensive readings by age
A blood pressure chart with the normal, elevated and stage 1 and 2 hypertension ranges, how to measure correctly at home, and when a reading is an emergency.
Lipid profile test: reading total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglycerides
How to read a lipid profile test: normal ranges for total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglycerides, whether to fast, and how the numbers feed a 10-year heart risk score.
Kidney function test: creatinine, eGFR and what the stages mean
How a kidney function test works, converting serum creatinine to eGFR with CKD-EPI 2021, the KDIGO stages, and the common medications that damage kidneys.
HbA1c test: what the percentage means and the diabetes threshold
What an HbA1c test measures, the normal, prediabetes and diabetes ranges, how it converts to average blood glucose, and when the result can mislead.
