Small routine laboratory test package

The small routine laboratory test package is one of the best methods of general prevention. If we want to live healthy and avoid diseases, this routine blood test gives us an accurate picture of the state of our body.

The general blood count gives comprehensive values about our body and the functioning of our internal organs, even in the case of the smallest changes. For this reason, it is ideal for detecting even more serious diseases at an early stage.

In addition to prevention, small routine laboratory tests are often one of the first steps in the detection of certain changes, because it helps to determine with the intervention of which profession and in what direction the examination should be carried out in order to obtain an accurate diagnosis.

When is the small routine laboratory test package necessary?

In all cases where someone wants to get a comprehensive picture of the operation of their organization.
It is an ideal choice as a general screening test for both chronic disease and those without symptoms.
It is recommended for all healthy people over the age of 18 to have it done annually.
It is a useful help for those who are preparing for a medical examination, as it is easier to choose the necessary screenings and tests with a blood sample.
The small routine laboratory is also useful in the case of pre-existing symptoms, if the family doctor does not yet know exactly in which direction to start the patient on the way to diagnosis or recovery.

What does the small routine laboratory test package show?

A routine blood count can provide complex information about the entire body. It can be used to check the functioning of the liver, kidneys and the entire hematopoietic system, but it also provides information on the processes of protein and even fat metabolism.

In addition, we can learn everything about the state of the most important enzymes and breakdown products, as well as the cholesterol and uric acid levels, and by measuring the blood pressure, the inflammatory processes in the body can be revealed.

Large routine laboratory test package

If, compared to the small routine laboratory, it is necessary to check many more values for the sake of our health, then the large routine laboratory test package is a good decision both for prevention and in case of specific complaints.

There are two types of the large-routine laboratory test package:

for women
and for men.

The two packages basically focus on testing the same values, with the difference that CA-125 (tumor markers for ovarian cancer) is also screened for women, and PSA (prostate-specific antigen) for men.

The large laboratory package can practically provide a complete picture of the functioning of our body and internal organs, precisely highlighting those processes that may cause serious complaints later on, but can still be treated well in the early stages.

It is not only preventive in nature, but when certain diseases develop, it can support the diagnosis, and it helps to decide which specialty or which targeted examination is needed for the investigation.

When is the large-routine laboratory test package necessary?

In a completely symptom-free state, preventively, in order to prevent the development of more serious changes every two years over the age of 18, every year over the age of 40, for both men and women with the purpose of screening.
If you need a comprehensive and highly detailed blood count.
For those about to undergo a medical examination, because it can facilitate the task of the attending physician in relation to the prescription of certain tests and screenings.
In addition to general complaints such as frequent headaches, malaise, fatigue and weakness.
In the case of other symptoms, a routine laboratory examination can help the treating physician to start the patients on the path to examination and recovery based on the results.

What does the routine laboratory test package show?

With the help of the routine laboratory examination, the complete function of the liver, thyroid gland and kidneys, fat and carbohydrate metabolism can be easily checked, but possible inflammatory processes can also be detected, in addition to the status of the most important enzymes and breakdown products.

In addition to the general results, the routine laboratory test prepared for women also shows the CA-125 value, the concentration of which can be high in the case of ovarian cancer.

The routine laboratory for men, on the other hand, checks the level of PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen), which may rise in the case of possible prostate cancer, but with a blood test, the change can be detected in time and can be treated more effectively.

Osteoporosis laboratory test package

Contrary to popular belief, osteoporosis is not only a problem for the elderly, but can also affect young people as a result of some genetic disorders or certain diseases.

The osteoporosis lab test package can be an ideal preventive solution, as it can be used to quickly reveal this change that rarely produces symptoms in the beginning. In this way, the necessary treatments can be started in time, which can stop or slow down the process.

The laboratory test also helps to reveal the background of already developed osteoporosis - for example, hormonal and other causes - and in the case of treatment, it provides a good alternative for monitoring the effectiveness and efficiency of the therapy.

When is the osteoporosis lab test package necessary?

Regular laboratory tests for osteoporosis are very important for prevention if such a disease has occurred among close family members.
An annual osteoporosis checkup is recommended for women and men over the age of 45 (but especially the former), as a decrease in estrogen levels may be related to this disease.
Smoking and an unhealthy lifestyle, especially a lack of exercise on weekdays or a one-sided diet, contribute to the development of juvenile osteoporosis, so regular check-ups are recommended in this case.
If someone is too thin and very short, then their starting bone mass is low.
In the case of frequent bone fractures, osteoporosis is also suspected.
With an upset hormonal system, which in the case of women after early menopause or oophorectomy, and in men with low testosterone levels, often attacks the bones.
If you regularly take certain medicines, especially steroids, antacids and diuretics.
In addition to thyroid and parathyroid disease.
For various absorption and digestion disorders and inflammatory bowel disease.

What does the osteoporosis lab test package show?

This laboratory test package helps to reveal the values that show whether there are signs of osteoporosis in the patient's body.

In addition to the tendency, it can be used to detect incipient and advanced osteoporosis, and with ongoing treatment, its effectiveness can also be demonstrated based on laboratory results.

It is important that laboratory blood and urine tests are necessary in all cases to clarify the causes related to the osteoporosis process.

Bone metabolism laboratory test package

Examination of bone metabolism is typically required when detecting diseases affecting the bones. It is an ideal choice if osteoporosis is suspected or if the patient suffers from changes affecting the skeletal system, such as frequent bone fractures.

It is a particularly good decision if, for diagnosis or treatment, it is necessary to explore the amount of minerals in the bones, such as calcium, phosphorus or vitamin D, or to examine the parameters of bone building and bone breakdown.

When is the bone metabolism lab test package necessary?

When osteoporosis is suspected or when the disease has already been diagnosed more thoroughly.
In the case of all problems affecting the bone system, when the processes that build or break down the bone can cause the problem.
When monitoring the body's calcium level, which ensures the strength of the skeletal system.
When controlling the body's phosphorus level, which is also a very important compound for bone health.
When discovering the body's vitamin D level, since this vitamin ensures the absorption of calcium from the intestinal tract and helps its incorporation into the bones.
If bone problems can be caused by hormonal problems. These include parathormone , which regulates the calcium level in the blood, or calcitonin , which supports the incorporation of calcium into the bones.

What does the bone metabolism lab test package show?

The laboratory test of bone metabolism is able to show the mineral composition of the patient's skeleton and reveal the parameters related to the building and breaking down of bones.

This includes, in addition to calcium and phosphorus, the level of vitamin D in the blood, as well as β- cross laps isomer, the increase of which shows the activity of bone metabolism.

Among the more important elements, the level of osteocalcin, which can be used to monitor the functioning of bone-forming cells, should also be highlighted, but the test also highlights the level of the PTH hormone, which is responsible for the regulation of calcium and phosphate metabolism.

Male tumor marker laboratory test package

The male tumor marker laboratory test is an ideal choice for prevention purposes and also in the event that, based on the existing symptoms, a possible tumor has arisen in the patient, and for this reason, guidelines for further tests are required.

It is a test package aimed specifically at men, as part of which, in addition to the testicle and prostate, incipient or advanced cancerous changes in organs such as the liver, intestines, colon or lungs can be detected.

It is important that the negative results obtained in the male tumor marker laboratory test do not 100 percent rule out a cancerous lesion, just as positive values cannot be considered a diagnostic result in the case of a malignant problem.

In all cases, the laboratory examination is only a guideline, however, the diagnosis usually requires the involvement of additional disciplines and the use of other methods.

When is the male tumor marker laboratory test package necessary?

In the case of previously developed cancer among close male family members.
In addition to symptoms and complaints that indicate a possible tumor suspicion. This includes sudden weight loss, bloody urine or semen, or lumps that can be felt on or near the surface of the body.
As a preventive screening package for men over 40, since the majority of malignant lesions detected early can be cured more effectively.
When following the results of treatment for already developed cancers.

What does the male tumor marker lab test package show?

The male tumor marker test can help to shed light on the occurrence of tumor types in the body that are either exclusively characteristic of men or occur in greater numbers in their cases than in women.

The laboratory results can be used to check the tumor markers, which, in the event of deviations, show possible cancerous changes in the testis (HCG), prostate (PSA), colon, liver (AFP) or lungs and bronchi (CEA).

Whether the laboratory result obtained in this way is negative or positive, it alone is not enough for a diagnosis. Knowing the findings and complaints, further investigations, often involving several disciplines, are necessary in order to establish or rule out cancer.

In patients with previously diagnosed cancer, the male tumor marker test also helps to support the results of the applied treatments.

Women's tumor marker laboratory test package

The female tumor marker laboratory test is suitable for women who want to prevent or detect possible cancerous changes in time, but it is also ideal for complaints that suggest the start of possible malignant processes in the body.

This test package has been specially adapted to the needs of women, so it mainly focuses on gender-specific values. It can be used to screen for breast and ovarian tumors, but also for malignant lesions of the liver, intestinal tract, colon and bronchus.

Regarding the laboratory examination, it should be known that a positive result cannot be considered a diagnosis, just as a negative finding does not completely rule out the fact that there is no tumor in the body at all.

In each case, the specific diagnosis is established with additional tests and the involvement of other disciplines, so the laboratory results only serve as guidelines and confirmation.

When is the female tumor marker laboratory test package necessary?

When preventing previously diagnosed cancerous changes in female relatives, which are mainly characteristic of women.
As a preventive screening package for all women over the age of 40, as it can help to recognize cancerous changes in their initial stages, which can still be cured with a good chance.
In the case of complaints that give rise to the suspicion of a tumor, such as, among others, sudden weight loss, a lump on the surface of the skin, frequent lower abdominal pain or severe bleeding difficulties.
In the case of a diagnosed cancer, to track the treatments started and to verify their effectiveness.

What does the female tumor marker lab test package show?

The female tumor marker laboratory test can detect in the blood the presence of those types of tumors that are unique to women, or that occur more often in their case, which can be treated more effectively if detected in time.

As part of the package, it is possible to check tumor markers that may indicate cancerous lesions of the breast (CA 15-3), ovary (CA 125), colon, bronchi (CEA) and liver (AFP).

A laboratory result - whether positive or negative - can never be considered a diagnosis. In order for the existence of a cancer to be confirmed or refuted, additional tests are always required, the blood results only support the diagnosis.

If it is a patient with a previously diagnosed tumor, the female tumor marker test package can also show how the body reacts to the treatments used.

Thyroid complex laboratory test package

The complex laboratory test of the thyroid gland contains all the values that are essential to explore the functioning of the organ in question.

With its help, you can quickly and easily shed light on the irregular functioning of the thyroid gland and the resulting hormonal changes, but in addition to examining certain basic functions, it also provides information on the presence of the most common thyroid disease of autoimmune origin.

It is a good choice for diagnosis or exclusion in the event that the specialist suspects thyroid disease based on the symptoms, but it is also suitable for preventive purposes and even for continuous monitoring of problems that have already developed.

When is the thyroid complex laboratory test package necessary? lab test package necessary?

For symptoms of thyroid disease, such as sudden weight changes, hair loss, dry skin, fatigue, constipation, diarrhea, frequent sweating, rapid heartbeat, or agitation.
With a preventive nature, for timely recognition of problems related to the thyroid gland.
In the case of genetic involvement, if close family members have had or have thyroid disease.
In addition to an already diagnosed thyroid problem, to check the effectiveness of the treatment.

What does the complex thyroid laboratory test package show?

inflammatory processes in the body, the complex laboratory test package for the thyroid gland provides specific information about the organ's hormonal functions (TSH, fT3, fT4, anti -TPO).

In addition, the laboratory result informs the patient about protein, carbohydrate and fat metabolism, such as cholesterol or blood sugar, as well as the state of the body's general ion balance.

From the results of the test, you can also read how the most important enzymes (GOT, GPT, GGT, alkaline phosphatase) work, but based on the breakdown products, other changes can also be revealed with the help of the thyroid gland complex lab.

Female sex hormone laboratory test package

Laboratory testing of female sex hormones may be necessary in many cases. Its preventive use is less common, and is more often requested in the case of certain gynecological, andrological and hormonal diseases, as well as during menopause.

The examination mainly focuses on the level of cycle-dependent female sex hormones, the negative or positive movement of which allows the detection of many diseases, and in some cases can also confirm the diagnosis.

The test package is mainly recommended for women, but it is also ideal for men in cases where problems may have developed in connection with the lack or excess of female sex hormones in their bodies.

When is the female sex hormone lab test package necessary? lab test package necessary?

In case of gynecological diseases of hormonal origin.
When experiencing disturbances related to the female sexual cycle.
In certain endocrinological diseases.
Before a planned pregnancy or with infertility disorders.
At the first signs of menopause and its subsequent control.
When experiencing symptoms of hormonal problems such as hair loss, excessive hair growth, or unwarranted weight gain and weight loss.
To check the status of already known hormonal diseases or the effects of treatment.

What does the female sex hormone lab test package show? lab test package show?

The laboratory test helps reveal the state of the most important female sex hormones. The human hormonal system is a very sensitive unit, so even the smallest deviations can cause complaints, which can be easily detected with this package.

Female sex hormones such as FSH, LH, estradiol, progesterone, prolactin , total testosterone, SHBG, albumin, and free and biologically active testosterone can be checked with the test.

Based on the results of the blood test, it is possible to shed light on malfunctions of the glands and organs that produce hormones, to support diagnoses, but also to provide guidance in the case of certain treatments.

In the case of a disease that has already been discovered, laboratory testing can help a lot in checking the effects of treatments.

Preoperative laboratory test package

The preoperative laboratory examination is necessary in order to reveal the patient's state of health before the intervention. In this way, risks and risk factors that may affect anesthesia or anesthesia can be excluded.

The results of the laboratory test not only make the work of the anesthesiologist easier, but can also filter out problems that might make it difficult to carry out the operation successfully.

This examination package is only needed before surgical interventions, as it detects all important elements that may be necessary for an operation under anesthesia in addition to the general blood count.

When is a pre-operative laboratory test package necessary? lab test package necessary?

Before surgical interventions, during which sedation or anesthesia is used, therefore, the involvement of an anesthesiologist is required.
If the patient's condition or chronic diseases require the blood count to be checked in order for the operation to be carried out successfully.

What does the pre-operative lab test package show? lab test package show?

In addition to the general blood count, the pre-surgery laboratory test package ensures the detection of enzymes and other values such as prothrombin , which is important for blood coagulation, urea, which is related to kidney function, creatinine, blood sugar, or the body's potassium and sodium levels.

It is especially important before an operation involving anesthesia that the laboratory test covers blood group antibody screening – essential in case of blood transfusion – as well as values such as GOT, GPT, GGT, AP and bilirubin.

Renal function laboratory test package

True to its name, the kidney function laboratory test package provides a comprehensive report on the functioning of one of the most important excretory organs of the human body, the kidney, as well as its possible narrowing and inflammation.

The kidney regulates many processes in the body, so it is also responsible for water balance and arterial blood pressure, but it is also capable of purifying the blood and removing the decomposition products produced during metabolism from our body.

If the kidney function decreases or worsens, it typically has definite symptoms, so it is recommended not so much as a preventive measure, but rather to confirm the diagnosis, rather than on a doctor's order.

When is the renal function laboratory test package necessary?

When the patient's symptoms indicate a problem with kidney function.
In the presence of diabetes, high blood pressure or other diseases that also affect the kidneys.
As a preventive measure, every two to three years, if there was a history of kidney disease among close family members.
Before performing certain interventions.
In case of established kidney disease, to check the patient's condition or the effectiveness of the treatment.

What does the kidney function lab test package show?

In addition to blood, a urine test is also often required to accurately check kidney function. The laboratory examination gives a complete picture of the function and general condition of the kidney.

Parameters such as creatinine or urea, which are high in the case of kidney disease, are examined here, but the level of electrolytes is also checked, since their disturbance also suggests a malfunction of the organ.

Various proteins are also important elements in the kidney function laboratory test, since their low level always indicates the organ's excretion problems, but among the values checked based on the blood, we also find the estimated glomerular filtration rate, which can show the amount of blood filtered by the kidneys per minute.

Insulin resistance laboratory test package

This test package can primarily provide accurate information about the body's incorrect insulin response based on the blood count, which can be a companion or precursor to insulin resistance, diabetes, or other diseases.

Insulin resistance is not diabetes in itself, but a reversible condition, a pre-diabetes condition that can be reversed very easily if recognized and treated in time.

For this reason, the insulin resistance laboratory test package is at least as useful preventively - especially in justified cases - as it is for patients with a high probability of developing diabetes due to lifestyle or heredity.

It is also a very common laboratory test at the request of gynecology, since pregnancy can upset the body's blood sugar level, and in other cases it can be one of the early accompanying symptoms of the hormonal disease called PCOS.

When is the insulin resistance lab test needed?

In addition to significant overweight, abdominal obesity and a sedentary lifestyle, it is preventive.
When diabetes is suspected.
For common symptoms of insulin resistance, such as difficulty gaining or losing weight, poor sleep quality, constant hunger or thirst, sweating, hair loss, excessive hair growth, fatigue and difficulty concentrating.
In case of infertility problems.
Before pregnancy.
In the case of insulin resistance that has already developed, to check the patient's condition or the results of the applied treatment or lifestyle change.

What does the insulin resistance lab test package show?

In addition to the general condition of the hematopoietic system, kidney function, liver enzymes, and the process of fat metabolism, the insulin resistance laboratory test package provides information on inflammations in the body and the level of vitamin D.

An important element is the sugar load, as part of which we can get an accurate picture of how our body reacts to sugar intake on an empty stomach.

In the event of a proper evaluation by a specialist, the laboratory test reveals whether insulin resistance has developed in the body and, if so, to what extent. Knowing this, the treatments that help prevent diabetes can begin.

Pre-contraceptive lab test package

Before using contraceptives, it is very important for the gynecologist to get a comprehensive picture of the patient's body. Some tablets tend to affect liver function and may even cause thrombosis.

This lab package is specifically designed to use a blood test to screen for risk factors that may cause problems when taking long-term birth control.

The results not only assure the attending physician of the applicability – or contraindications – of the contraceptives, but can also help in choosing the right preparation, thus ensuring that the patient can receive the most beneficial pill for him.

When is the pre-contraceptive lab test package necessary?

Before using the first contraceptive pills, if the patient has never taken such preparations before.
After a period without contraception (pregnancy, breastfeeding, illness) when the patient wants to return to the pills.

What does the pre-contraceptive lab test package show?

In addition to the complete blood count, in the pre-contraceptive laboratory test package, special emphasis is placed on the elements that can be affected by the related preparations.

Antithrombin III , which regulates blood clotting processes , or Prothrombin, which belongs to blood clotting factors produced by the liver .

In addition, the test also sheds light on a possible Prothrombin gene mutation - which means an increased tendency to thrombosis - as well as the APTI value, a high level of which can cause problems with stable clot formation, and can even cause increased bleeding or clotting.
