Don't forget about regular preventive check-ups that every woman should have. These tests and examinations enable systematic monitoring of your health condition and early detection of diseases when they are still curable. In many cases, they can also prevent serious health problems before they develop. But that's not all – regular check-ups also ensure that you are taking proper care of your health.
The tests and examinations included in the package can help detect cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, anaemia, thyroid disorders (i.e. complete thyroid screening to detect hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's disease), as well as kidney and liver diseases.
Furthermore, you will be tested to detect asymptomatic viral infections transmitted through blood and sexual intercourse: hepatitis B and C, which can lead to cirrhosis and cancer, as well as HIV infection, so that treatment can be started earlier if the test results are abnormal.
Make the most of preventive check-ups, even if you don't notice any symptoms.
Women’s Preventive Healthcare Premium consists of a total of 24 tests and examinations, such as:
- COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT – a test designed to check the levels of blood cells that are essential for the proper organism functioning. It gives you a good idea of your overall health condition.
- GLUCOSE – testing the concentration of sugar (glucose) in the blood; recommended as a preventive measure for patients who are overweight or obese, have unhealthy eating habits, high blood pressure, genetic predispositions to certain diseases, cardiovascular diseases, a family history of diabetes, as well as patients with worrying symptoms such as chronic fatigue, increased thirst, frequent urination, dry mouth, unintentional weight loss. Measuring glucose levels is a basic tool in the diagnosis and control of diabetes, enabling the detection of prediabetes condition and its early treatment.
- LIPID PROFILE – 4 tests:
- Total cholesterol, LDL and HDL cholesterol levels – measurement of total cholesterol, LDL (bad cholesterol) and HDL (good cholesterol) levels to determine the organism's lipid metabolism. It is recommended for patients at risk of cardiovascular diseases, particularly those who are overweight or obese, have diabetes or hypertension, as well as for preventive purposes. Excess cholesterol levels, especially LDL, may increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.
- Triglycerides – measurement of triglyceride levels; helps assess the risk of cardiovascular diseases in patients with a family history of heart problems, smoking, those who are overweight or obese, suffer from diabetes, hypertension, lead a sedentary lifestyle or follow an unhealthy diet.
- TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) – this test measures the concentration of a hormone produced by the pituitary gland, which regulates the production of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4). The TSH test is carried out to assess thyroid functioning, detect its disorders (including asymptomatic ones) and monitor the treatment of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism; the test is also useful in diagnosing Hashimoto's disease.
- IRON is crucial for the proper functioning of the organism, as it is a component of haemoglobin, which transports oxygen to cells. Iron deficiency can lead to anaemia, which is characterised by fatigue, pale skin and general feeling of weakness. Testing iron levels in the blood is very important, particularly in differentiating between various types of anaemia.
- FERRITIN is a protein that stores iron in the organism; the concentration of ferritin in serum is an indicator of iron reserves, which is why this test is mainly carried out to determine iron deficiency or to identify the causes of anaemia.
- VITAMIN 25OH-D3 is essential for regulating calcium and phosphorus metabolism in the organism. Measuring its concentration in the blood helps diagnose deficiencies, monitor supplementation and analyse the impact of vitamin D on calcium and phosphorus metabolism as well as bone health.
- AST (aspartate aminotransferase) and ALT (alanine aminotransferase) are liver enzymes, testing the concentration of which is primarily intended to assess liver functioning and detect any damage to this organ. These enzymes are found in liver cells, and their increase in the blood may indicate viral hepatitis, alcoholic liver damage or other disorders.
- URINALISYS – a simple laboratory test intended for the early detection of kidney and urinary tract diseases, but also indicates problems with other organs and systems.
- URIC ACID – measuring uric acid levels is important in diagnosing and monitoring of gout, nephrolithiasis and kidney disorders.
- CREATININE – measuring creatinine levels in the blood is primarily aimed to diagnose and monitor kidney diseases.
- CALCIUM is the main building block of bones and is essential for the proper functioning of muscles, the nervous and cardiovascular systems, as well as blood clotting. Measuring calcium levels is useful in diagnosing and monitoring bone, kidney and parathyroid diseases, as well as certain types of cancer. It is recommended in cases of muscle cramps, tingling and numbness in the limbs, heart rhythm disorders, nosebleeds or frequent situations of breaking bones.
- MAGNESIUM is a key element in many biochemical processes, playing an important role in neuromuscular transmission; magnesium levels in the blood are measured in cases of heart rhythm disorders, abnormal blood pressure, problems with the muscular (muscle pain, cramps) and nervous systems, as well as kidney failure.
- VITAMIN B12 is vital for the proper functioning of the nervous system, nucleic acid synthesis and red blood cell production. Untreated vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to anaemia, fatigue, muscle weakness, intestinal problems, nerve damage and mood disorders. Vitamin B12 concentration is measured to detect its deficiencies, which allows for early diagnosis and treatment of anaemia, certain neurological disorders and assessment of nutritional status, e.g. in vegetarians or vegans, as well as in people with gastrointestinal diseases.
- FT4 (free thyroxine) is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland; the FT4 concentration test aims to assess thyroid function and is often used in the diagnosis of thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
- FT3 (free triiodothyronine) is a thyroid hormone, the concentration of which is measured to help diagnose thyroid disorders and monitor their treatment.
- ATPO, i.e. anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies are targeted against thyroid peroxidase (an enzyme essential for the production of thyroid hormones). These antibodies are a marker of autoimmune thyroid problems, such as Hashimoto's disease.
- HCV antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system in response to infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Measuring the level of these antibodies is a simple screening test that allows for preliminary determination of whether a patient has been exposed to HCV infection.
- HBS antigen is a specific protein found on the surface of the hepatitis B virus. It is a marker (indicator) of viral hepatitis. Its detection in the blood confirms acute or chronic HBV infection.
- HIV antibodies + antigen combo are proteins produced by the organism in response to HIV infection, which become detectable approximately 4-12 weeks after infection. The p24 antigen is a protein of the HIV virus that is detected in the blood earlier than antibodies, i.e. approximately 2-8 weeks after infection. This test enables early diagnosis of HIV infection.
