Teenage Buddy Package at Home in Dubai
Included
About the Package
A wide adolescence check-up that reads growth-relevant hormones, thyroid, iron stores, vitamin D and B12 against a full blood count and metabolic markers. Puberty, growth spurts and changing diets put real demands on a teenager's body, and this 49-marker panel gives parents and physicians a baseline for energy, growth, mood and menstrual or developmental concerns. Useful as a yearly screen or when a teen is unusually tired, not growing as expected, or eating poorly.
What is it? The Teenage Buddy Package is a 49-biomarker adolescent wellness panel combining blood count, sugar, lipids, thyroid, sex hormones, iron studies and key vitamins and minerals in one draw.

Teenage Buddy Package: purpose, preparation and results
Why take the Teenage Buddy Package?
- A yearly baseline through puberty when growth, appetite and hormones shift quickly
- To investigate persistent tiredness, poor concentration, delayed growth or menstrual irregularity in teens
- To catch common but hidden shortfalls like low iron, vitamin D, B12 or zinc that affect energy and development
How to prepare for the Teenage Buddy Package
Fasting is required for this package. Have your teenager fast for 10 to 12 hours before the draw, plain water allowed, because the fasting blood sugar and lipid markers are only accurate on an empty stomach. Morning appointments make the fast easier. Our DHA-licensed nurse collects the sample at home, office or school, and usual medicines can continue unless a doctor advises otherwise.
Understanding your Teenage Buddy Package results
Results flag whether growth hormones, thyroid, iron and vitamins sit inside the expected range for age, and which markers may explain fatigue, slow growth or mood changes. Adolescent reference ranges differ from adult ones, so review the doctor-reviewed report with your paediatrician before making any diet or supplement changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Anything else? Ask on WhatsApp — we usually reply in three minutes.
It is built for adolescents roughly 10 to 19, the years when growth, thyroid and sex hormones change fastest. A parent or guardian should be present for the home visit, and results are best read with a paediatrician who knows the child's growth history.
Yes. A 10 to 12 hour fast is needed because fasting blood sugar, HbA1c interpretation and the lipid profile are part of the package. Water is fine. We recommend an early-morning slot so the fasting window falls overnight.
The doctor-reviewed report is delivered within 24 hours to WhatsApp and email. If any growth, thyroid or vitamin marker looks unusual, we suggest reviewing it with your paediatrician rather than acting on a single value.
Estradiol, progesterone and testosterone track pubertal development and can help explain delayed puberty, irregular periods or growth concerns. They are read alongside thyroid and growth-relevant markers, never in isolation, and interpreted for the teen's age and stage.
It covers the usual culprits behind adolescent fatigue: low iron and ferritin, vitamin D and B12 shortfall, an under- or over-active thyroid, and anaemia on the blood count. The report shows which, if any, are low so your doctor can advise.
Yes. A DHA-licensed nurse draws the sample at home, office or school across Dubai in about 20 minutes, using single-use sterile kits. Being in a familiar setting usually makes the draw less stressful than a clinic visit.
