Abstract

Hemoglobin and hematocrit examinations serve as important early indicators of hematological status, reflecting the blood’s capacity to transport oxygen. A decrease in these two parameters leads to anemia, which is often undetected due to minimal early symptoms and low awareness to undergo examinations. This activity was carried out using the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach, by examining hemoglobin and hematocrit levels in adult participants. Capillary blood samples were analyzed using a portable device at the examination location. Education was delivered through leaflets regarding the importance of iron, vitamin B12, and folate intake to support erythrocyte formation. The examination was attended by 104 participants, the majority of whom were women. The average hemoglobin was recorded as approaching the lower limit of normal values, while hematocrit levels showed wide variations. More than half of the participants were classified as having anemia. This high proportion of anemia highlights the urgent need for targeted nutritional education. Hemoglobin and hematocrit screening proves effective as an early detection tool for hematological disorders. Education that is linked to laboratory findings should be prioritized to promote improved dietary patterns, particularly the consumption of iron-rich foods, vitamin B12, and folate, in order to prevent erythropoietic dysfunction and long-term health complications.

Abstract

Hyperuricemia is a condition characterized by elevated uric acid levels in the blood, which can increase the risk of chronic kidney failure due to the deposition of uric acid crystals in renal tissue. Education and screening for uric acid levels are crucial for the early detection and prevention of hyperuricemia, particularly in the adult population. This community service program utilized the Plan–Do–Check–Act (PDCA) approach, encompassing counseling on risk factors of hyperuricemia, uric acid level screening with Point Of Care Testing (POCT), and education on strategies to prevent chronic kidney disease. The activity involved 40 participants of productive age, with an average age of 43.97 years. The mean uric acid level was recorded at 5.74 mg/dL. Educational interventions successfully increased participants’ awareness of the importance of maintaining uric acid levels within normal limits. Routine screening enables early identification of at-risk individuals and facilitates timely implementation of preventive measures. This program highlights the importance of public education and early detection in reducing the risk of chronic kidney disease and underscores the role of preventive health efforts in improving overall quality of life.
