Clinics for the treatment of check-up

Each clinic offers its own set of examinations. The standard set of procedures is almost the same everywhere:

• Consultation of a general practitioner;
• Chest x-ray;
• Electrocardiogram (ECG);
• Study of peripheral blood (hemogram);
• Biochemical blood test — creatinine level, liver enzymes (AST, ALT), cholesterol;
• Blood triglyceride test;
• Columnar urine analysis.

A set of preventive diagnostics is selected individually. Such check-up programs are popular:

• For men under 40 years old;
• For women under 40 years old;
• Children’s check-up;
• Standard check-up (basic check-up);
• Men’s check-up after 40;
• Women’s check-up after 40;
• Extended VIP programs for men and women.

It is better to give preference to a multidisciplinary medical center. Here the patient will be able to undergo all the necessary tests and instrumental examinations: ultrasound, MRI, CT, etc. In the course of diagnostics you may also need to consult with narrow specialists.

If the hospital has a subspecialty, the patient will be referred to another clinic. This is associated with additional financial costs and unnecessary loss of time.

Check-up diagnostics are important to have every year. The results of the tests provide up-to-date information about the patient’s health. A body exam should be scheduled as soon as possible if the patient has one or more risk factors:

• Smoking or living with people who smoke;
• Regular alcohol intake;
• Living in a polluted region;
• If your relatives have chronic diseases, heart problems, cancer;
• Chronic stress at work and at home.

A check-up helps to detect the disease at an early stage. The diagnostic plan depends on the sex and age of the patient or is aimed at detecting certain diseases, such as cancer.

Check-Up is performed in advance, before any symptoms appear, while standard diagnostics are prescribed by a doctor after the first signs of illness appear.

Check-Up is much cheaper than procedures performed separately. Clinics optimize check-up prices by having a large flow of patients who undergo the same examinations.

All of the tests that are part of the chosen check-up program are done within one day. As a rule, the check-up begins in the morning with general blood and urine tests. It is important that the patient does not eat anything in the morning and eat a light meal the day before the examination.

After the tests are taken, the patient has a consultation with the doctor. The doctor will discuss possible diagnostic options and prescribe a follow-up examination plan. In foreign hospitals, the patient must be accompanied by a representative of the international department who speaks the patient’s native language.

After the tests, the patient will receive the results and the doctor’s comments in English and in the patient’s native language.
