Benefits of testing

BENEFITS OF TESTING

  • All-Encompassing Health Overview: The cornerstone of any effective health screening begins with a broad-spectrum health overview. The Fit Fifties Extended package starts with comprehensive preliminary tests, including the Urinalysis + Sediment Test and the Complete Blood Count (CBC) Test. These tests provide a panoramic view of your general health, aiding in the early identification and monitoring of potential health risks that might otherwise go unnoticed.
  • Inflammation and Blood Disorder Detection: The Fit Fifties Extended package includes the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) and C-reactive Protein (CRP) Tests to identify and monitor inflammation, an early marker of several health conditions. Furthermore, the CBC test serves as a critical tool for detecting potential blood disorders and immune system anomalies, providing the necessary foresight for appropriate medical intervention.
  • Exhaustive Cardiovascular Health Assessment: Cardiovascular health is a major concern for men in their 50s and 60s. Recognizing this, our package incorporates an array of critical tests like the Glucose and Insulin Tests, Cholesterol, LDL, HDL, Triglycerides, Uric Acid, and Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) Tests. Together, these tests provide an exhaustive evaluation of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, facilitating the early detection and management of conditions like insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular diseases.
  • Detailed Thyroid Function Evaluation: The thyroid gland plays a pivotal role in maintaining the body's metabolism. The Fit Fifties Extended package evaluates your thyroid's performance comprehensively through the Thyroid-stimulating Hormone (TSH), Free Thyroxine (fT4), and Free Triiodothyronine (fT3) Tests. These tests help identify any thyroid irregularities at an early stage, allowing for timely intervention.
  • Comprehensive Nutrient Analysis: Proper nutrition is integral for maintaining optimal health. This package incorporates the Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Calcium (Ca), and Magnesium (Mg) Tests to ensure the proper functioning of your nervous system, muscles, cardiovascular system, and to manage your body's water and electrolyte balance.
  • Detailed Renal Function Assessment: The health of your kidneys is critical in maintaining your overall health. The Creatinine/eGFR and Urea Tests provide reliable indicators of your kidney function, helping detect any potential renal issues early on.
  • In-Depth Liver and Pancreas Function Monitoring: Keeping tabs on your liver and pancreas function is crucial, given their importance in digestion and metabolism. Our package incorporates a series of tests, including Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Gamma-glutamyl Transferase (GGT), Prothrombin Time (PT), and Lipase Tests, offering you a clear insight into the health of your liver and pancreas.
  • Comprehensive Prostate Health Check: Prostate health is a significant concern for men in their 50s and 60s. The Fit Fifties Extended package includes the Prostate-specific Antigen (PSA) and Free Prostate-specific Antigen (fPSA) Tests, playing a crucial role in the early detection of prostate dysfunction and potential prostate cancer.
  • Hormonal Balance Monitoring: The Testosterone and Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate (DHEA-S) Tests are essential for monitoring hormone levels that affect mood, energy, sexual drive, and overall health. As men age, managing these hormones becomes increasingly important to maintain sexual performance, manage symptoms of andropause, and overall well-being.
  • Bone Health and Osteoporosis Risk Assessment: Bone health is often overlooked, yet it remains a critical aspect of health as we age. The Vitamin D and Calcium Tests in our package help assess bone mineralization and evaluate the risk of osteoporosis. This is particularly useful in effectively managing your bone health and ensuring the correct dosage of necessary supplementation.
  • Cardiovascular Risk Evaluation in the Context of Post-Infection Complications: We include the N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and D-dimer Tests in this package to assess potential cardiovascular risks, especially in the aftermath of infections like COVID-19.
  • Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) Test: This hormone plays a crucial role in regulating calcium concentration in extracellular fluids, contributing significantly to bone metabolism.

Blood Test Preparation Guidelines
Time of day
icon
It is recommended to schedule your appointment for blood tests in the morning hours between 7:00-10:00.
Fasting
icon
It is recommended to fast for approximately 12 hours before blood sampling. The last meal of the previous day should ideally be consumed around 6:00 p.m. On the day before the test, avoid heavy and fatty meals as well as alcohol.
Stay hydrated
icon
Drinking water prior to testing can help with sample collection.
Other factors
icon
Tests should not be performed after a sleepless night or intense physical activity. It is recommended to avoid exercise and stress immediately before blood collection and to not smoke. A short rest is recommended.
Medications and supplements:
icon
Blood samples should be collected before the morning dose. Some drugs can interfere with test results. Consult with your doctor whether you can delay your dose because of lab tests.
Biotin supplements:
icon
High doses of biotin supplements can affect test results, causing false elevation or reduction. It's recommended to avoid taking biotin for at least 72 hours before blood collection. If you are taking biotin, inform the personnel collecting the blood so that they can provide specific instructions.
Preparing for Urinalysis Test
Buy container
icon
Buy sterile, disposable urine containers from pharmacies.

You can also buy a container from a diagnostic centre but the price will be higher. Container is not included in the price of the tests.
Time of day
icon
Ideally, collect the first urine in the morning after an 8-hour overnight rest or at least 4 hours after the last urination to prevent functional proteinuria.
Mid-stream Sample
icon
Collect the urine mid-stream, not at the beginning or end of urination, to avoid contamination. The sample volume should be 20 to 100 milliliters, depending on the container's size.
Hygiene
icon
Wash the area around the urethra with warm water, without using any cleaning or disinfecting products.
Fasting
icon
Do not eat or drink for 12 hours before collecting the urine sample. If necessary, you can drink one glass of clean, unflavoured water during this time.
Physical activity
icon
Avoid intense physical activity before providing a urine sample, as it can lead to an increase in protein and ketone levels in urine.
Menstrual period
icon
Women should avoid providing a urine sample during the menstrual period or within two days of its completion, as this can affect the test results due to the presence of red blood cells and epithelial cells in the urine.
Sexual activity
icon
Abstain from sexual activity before providing a urine sample.
Deliver sample
icon
Take the sample(s) to the sampling point on the same day. Storage: Keep the samples at refrigerated temperature (+2...+8°C) until they are taken to the sampling point.
