Benefits of testing

BENEFITS OF TESTING

  • Detailed Health Overview: The first step towards ensuring optimal health is gaining a comprehensive understanding of your overall well-being. Our package accomplishes this through a variety of tests, including Urinalysis + Sediment Test and Complete Blood Count (CBC) Test. These tests evaluate your urinary and blood health, allowing for the early identification and management of potential health issues ranging from kidney disorders to blood diseases.
  • Metabolic and Cardiovascular Health Evaluation: Staying heart-healthy is crucial during this phase of life. To this end, our package includes tests like Glucose Test, Insulin Test, and an extensive lipid profile including Cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and Triglycerides Tests. Together, these tests provide a deep understanding of your metabolic and cardiovascular health, aiding in the early detection of conditions like insulin resistance, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular diseases. The Uric Acid Test also forms a part of this group, acting as a preventive tool against gout and kidney diseases.
  • Cognitive Health and Aging: As you age, preserving your cognitive health becomes increasingly essential. Our package features the Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) Test for precisely this purpose. Reduced levels of IGF-1 during middle age can potentially lead to neurocognitive disorders later in life. By monitoring IGF-1 levels, we can identify these risks early on, allowing for timely intervention and management.
  • Comprehensive Thyroid Function Assessment: Your thyroid is a small organ that plays a significant role in regulating metabolism, energy production, and overall hormonal balance. The TSH, fT4, and fT3 tests included in our package offer a detailed evaluation of your thyroid function, allowing for the early detection of any potential abnormalities.
  • Key Elements Evaluation: To maintain optimal bodily function, keeping track of crucial elements like Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), and Magnesium (Mg) is vital. These nutrients are essential for the proper functioning of your nervous system, cardiovascular system, and muscles. Moreover, they are fundamental in maintaining the body's water and electrolyte balance. Our package includes tests for these elements, ensuring you maintain an optimal level for good health.
  • Prostate Health Evaluation: As men age, concerns about prostate health rise. Our package addresses this concern with the inclusion of the PSA and fPSA Tests. Regular monitoring of these levels helps in the early detection of prostate dysfunction, providing peace of mind and enabling timely medical intervention when required.
  • Vitamin D Level Assessment: Vitamin D plays a significant role in bone health, immune function, and overall wellbeing. The Vitamin D Test in our package determines the level of this essential vitamin, helping to adjust supplementation dosage, if necessary, for optimum health.
  • Liver, Pancreas, and Kidney Function Evaluation: Healthy liver, pancreas, and kidneys are central to your body's overall functioning. To keep a check on these critical organs, our package includes tests such as the AST, ALT, GGT, Lipase, Creatinine/eGFR, and Urea Tests. These tests help in early detection of potential abnormalities, allowing for prompt medical intervention.
  • Cardiovascular Risk Assessment: Conditions like heart failure and thromboembolic complications are potential health risks for men in their 40s and 50s. Our package incorporates the D-dimer and NT-proBNP Tests, which are designed to assess your cardiovascular health. These tests are particularly useful for individuals recovering from viral infections like SARS-CoV-2, as COVID-19 can lead to such complications.
  • Testosterone Level Check: In men, testosterone is a vital hormone affecting sexual drive, fertility, and overall mood. Its level can fluctuate due to several factors, including age and lifestyle habits. Our package includes the Testosterone Test to monitor this essential hormone, ensuring that its levels are within a healthy range.

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.
