The Extensive health test panel for men provides a thorough assessment of a man's well-being. The panel contains up to 18 tests that are especially important for men, measuring factors such as PSA, which indicates prostate health, testosterone, salt balance and bone health.
Basic blood count and platelets (B-PVK+T) provides an overview of haemoglobin and different blood cells. The test is used to screen for, diagnose and monitor various conditions.
The body constantly produces small amounts of C-reactive protein (CRP). In various infections and other inflammation and tissue damage, the concentration of CRP in the blood increases rapidly.
Vitamin D is an essential, fat-soluble vitamin for humans. Vitamin D levels are measured if there is reason to suspect a vitamin D deficiency.
Ferritin indicates the status of the iron reserves. Low ferritin levels can cause symptoms such as fatigue, weakness and a general decrease in performance.
Cholesterol measurement helps to assess the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. The cholesterol panel includes total cholesterol, HDL and LDL cholesterol and triglyceride tests.
Glucose, or blood sugar, is one of the most important sources of energy in the body. The glucose level (fP-Gluk) is usually measured when suspecting diabetes or monitoring the treatment of diabetes.
HbA1c, or glycosylated haemoglobin, indicates long-term blood sugar levels. The test is used to diagnose and monitor diabetes.
Alanine aminotransferase, or ALT, is a protein that operates within liver cells. If you suffer from upper abdominal pain, abdominal obesity or yellowing of the skin or eyes, we recommend having your ALT level tested.
Thyrotropin, or thyrotropic hormone, is a hormone that stimulates the thyroid to secrete thyroid hormones. Thyrotropin levels are tested when suspecting thyroid disorders.
Vitamin B12 supports brain function and the nervous system. Symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency may include sensory disturbances, upper abdominal pain and rapid heartbeat.
Folate, or vitamin B9, affects the well-being of the brain and cells. Folate deficiency can cause symptoms such as tiredness and loss of appetite. The need for folate increases during pregnancy.
Calcium is essential for all of the cells in the body. Calcium imbalance can cause symptoms such as tiredness, headaches or loss of appetite.
Prostate-specific antigen, or PSA, is a protein produced in the prostate. PSA is usually tested when investigating prostate enlargement or suspecting prostate cancer.
Testosterone, one of the male hormones, affects not only our physical health, but also our social and sexual behaviour. Free testosterone is measured if the concentration of proteins carrying testosterone is suspected to have changed.
Potassium is an important salt in the blood. The potassium test (S-K) provides information about the fluid balance of the body. Potassium can be measured if, for example, vomiting or muscle weakness occurs.
Sodium is an important electrolyte. The sodium test is used for assessing the fluid and electrolyte balance in the body. If the sodium balance is disturbed, symptoms may include feeling thirsty, vomiting and arrhythmia.
Why should I choose the Extensive health test panel for men?
The Extensive health test panel for men provides a thorough analysis of a man's well-being.
The test for basic blood count and platelets and the high-sensitivity CRP, which measures inflammation levels, provide an overview of your condition and health.
The tests also provide information on kidney and thyroid function and the risk of cardiovascular diseases. ALT and GT measure liver health.
The Extensive health test panel for men includes tests important for men's health: measurement of PSA indicating the health of the prostate, testosterone levels and vitamin B12 levels.
In addition, the Extensive health test panel for men includes tests for sodium and potassium levels, indicating the body’s salt balance, as well as calcium and folate levels.
The tests also include vitamin D and ferritin levels. Ferritin, or storage iron, levels may reveal iron deficiency even if the haemoglobin value is normal.
The Extensive health test panel for men measures both long-term blood sugar and fasting blood sugar.
For the best possible benefits, we recommend having the Extensive health test panel for men every couple of years.
