Check-Up for a Healthy Life

Eliminate Risks, Protect Your Health with Early Diagnosis.

A check-up is an important medical procedure to determine a person’s health status and early diagnosis of possible health problems. Check-up programs aim to evaluate the general health status of the person, to detect and prevent possible diseases that may occur in the body in advance. Check-up programs, especially in certain age groups, are very important for a person to lead a healthy life.

Check-up programs are tailor-made for each person, taking into account their age, gender, family history and other factors. Check-up programs may include physical examination, laboratory tests, radiological examinations and other medical tests. By reporting the results and providing recommendations, the person can adopt a healthy lifestyle and lead a healthy life.

Carrying out check-up programs is considered an important step for a person to lead a healthy life and is recommended to be done periodically. Check-ups are important to ensure that a person lives a healthy life and that health problems can be detected and prevented early.

CURIOSITIES ABOUT CHECK-UPS

An internal medicine examination can be a type of physical examination performed by a physician. This examination can be done to determine the many different diseases that may be present in the patient’s body or the patient’s health status. This examination can often be done in combination with additional tests, such as a physical examination, laboratory tests, imaging tests or other diagnostic methods. It is also performed by an internal medicine specialist.
A cardiology examination is a type of physical examination performed by a cardiologist. This examination is done to identify problems with the heart and vascular system. Usually, a physical examination may be combined with additional tests such as electrocardiography (ECG), echocardiography (ECHO), imaging tests or other diagnostic methods. It is also performed by a cardiologist.
A neurology examination is a type of physical examination performed by a neurologist. This examination is done to identify problems with the brain, spinal cord and nervous system. Usually a physical examination may be accompanied by additional tests such as neurological tests, imaging tests or other diagnostic methods and is performed by a neurologist. A neurology examination is essential for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases.
An Ear-Nose-Throat (ENT) disease examination is a type of physical examination performed by an ENT specialist. This examination can be done to identify problems that may be present in the ear, nose and throat areas. It can often be done in combination with additional tests such as a physical examination, endoscopic examination, imaging tests or other diagnostic methods and is performed by an ENT specialist. An ENT examination is essential for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases in the ENT area.
A dietitian consultation is a type of health service provided by a dietitian. This interview is done to assess the person’s nutrition, dietary habits, body composition and health status. The dietitian can make recommendations to create a diet plan that is suitable for the person’s health goals, and the dietitian can offer counseling to solve the person’s diet-related problems.
Echocardiography (ECHO) is a type of ultrasonography (USG) used to visualize the functioning of the heart. This test is used to assess the heart’s beating rate, rhythm and other characteristics. ECHO includes many different modes used to examine the structure and function of the heart. These modes include Doppler echocardiography, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). ECHO is used for the diagnosis and treatment of heart failure, heart failure, valvular heart disease, heart cell failure, aneurysms and other heart diseases.
An electrocardiogram (ECG) or EKG is a type of test used to measure the electrical activity of the heart. This test is used to assess the heart’s beating rate, rhythm and other characteristics. For an ECG, four or more electrodes (sticky plates) are placed on a person’s skin. The electrodes measure the electrical activity of the heart and send signals to a device. The device records these signals graphically and is evaluated by a physician. ECG is used to diagnose and treat heart arrhythmias, valvular heart disease, heart failure, heart cell failure, myocardial infarction and other heart diseases.
Chest radiography is a type of radiography (x-ray) method used to take images of the lungs, called PA (posterior-anterior) or one-way radiography. This method takes images of the back and front sides of the lungs. The images can be used by doctors to diagnose and treat problems that may occur in the lungs, for example, PA chest radiography can be used to diagnose and treat lung cancer, pneumonia, bronchitis, pulmonary fibrosis, emphysema and other lung diseases, as well as to monitor the progression of a pre-existing disease.
Whole abdomen US (Ultrasonography) is a type of ultrasonography (USG) used to image the intra-abdominal organs. It is used to examine the structure and function of the abdominal organs. Whole abdomen US can be used to assess the health of the liver, kidneys, pancreas, gallbladder, intestines and other intra-abdominal organs. This test is also used to diagnose many diseases that can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, abdominal distension, and bitterness in the mouth. In this test, a gel is applied to the skin by the physician using ultrasound equipment and a probe is passed over the skin to take images of the organs inside the body.
Ultrasound (US) is a screening method for Bilateral Breast (two-sided breast). Ultrasound uses waves to take an image of the breast tissue. This method is radiation-free and can show the internal structure of the breast tissue. Bilateral breast screening involves screening both the right and left breast. It can be used for early detection of breast cancer or other breast diseases. During the scan, the doctor usually uses a US machine and scans a woman’s breasts in a specific order.
Mammography can be performed bilaterally. This is a breast screening method. Mammography takes an image of the breast tissue using a compression radiography technique. This method uses radiation and shows the internal structure of the breast tissue. Bilateral mammography involves screening both the right and left breast. It can be used for early detection of breast cancer or other breast diseases. During screening, a woman’s breasts are compression scanned in a specific sequence and the images are interpreted by a radiologist. The frequency of screening usually depends on a woman’s age, breast history and other risk factors.

CA 19-9 is known as a tumor marker commonly used in liver, pancreatic and bowel cancers. This test measures the amount of sialylated Lewis(a) antigen (sLe(a)), a protein produced by cancer cells that gets into the bloodstream. It is considered a possible sign of this type of cancer in people with high levels of CA 19-9. However, CA 19-9 levels alone are not enough to diagnose cancer. Many people who have high levels of CA 19-9 but do not have cancer may also have high levels of CA 19-9. Therefore, the CA 19-9 test must be used in combination with other diagnostic methods and tests to make a definitive diagnosis.
CA 15-3 is a blood test that measures the level of antigen-15-3, a component produced by the cancer cell. This test is used especially in breast cancer. CA 15-3 levels can indicate the presence or spread of breast cancer cells. The CA 15-3 test can therefore be used to diagnose breast cancer, choose treatment and monitor the effectiveness of treatment. However, the CA 15-3 test is not only used for breast cancer. High levels of CA 15-3 can also be seen in other types of cancer. Therefore, the CA 15-3 test should not be used to diagnose only one cancer and is often used in combination with other diagnostic methods.
CA 125 is a blood test that measures the level of antigen-125, a component produced by the cancer cell. This test is used especially for endometrial, ovarian and peritoneal cancers. CA 125 levels can indicate the presence or spread of cancer cells. The CA 125 test can therefore be used to diagnose cancer, choose treatment and monitor the effectiveness of treatment. However, the CA 125 test is not only used for cancer, high CA 125 levels can also be seen in some non-malignant conditions. For this reason, the CA 125 test is often used in combination with other diagnostic methods, rather than being used solely to diagnose a cancer.
CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen) is known as a tumor marker commonly used in cancers of the liver, pancreas, intestine and other gastrointestinal (GI) organs. This test measures levels of CEA, a protein produced by cancer cells that gets into the bloodstream. It is considered a possible sign of such cancers in people with high CEA levels. However, CEA levels alone are not enough to diagnose cancer. Many people who have high CEA levels but do not have cancer may also have high CEA levels. Therefore, the CEA test must be used in combination with other diagnostic methods and tests to make a definitive diagnosis.
AFP (alpha-fetoprotein) is known as a tumor marker commonly used in liver cancer, testicular cancer and some other tumors. This test measures levels of AFP, a protein produced by cancer cells that gets into the bloodstream. In people with high levels of AFP, it is considered a possible sign of this type of cancer. However, AFP levels alone are not enough to diagnose cancer. Many people who have high levels of AFP but do not have cancer may also have high levels of AFP. Therefore, the AFP test must be used in combination with other diagnostic methods and tests to make a definitive diagnosis.
ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) is a laboratory test used to show that the body is in an inflammatory state. This test measures the rapid downward shift of erythrocytes (red blood cells) in the blood by weight. ESR levels can indicate the presence of inflammation or inflammation-related diseases. For example, people with increased ESR levels are considered a possible sign of arthritis, lupus, tuberculosis, cancer and other inflammatory diseases. However, ESR levels may only indicate the presence of inflammation or may be elevated even in the absence of inflammation. Therefore, the ESR test should be used in combination with other diagnostic methods and tests to make a definitive diagnosis.
CRP (C-reactive protein) is an amount of protein used as a marker of inflammation in the body. If the CRP level is high, it means that there is inflammation in the body.
A complete urinalysis is a laboratory test to examine the physical, chemical and microbiological properties of a urine sample. This test looks at many factors such as urine color, odor, density, pH level, protein, glucose, ketones, bilirubin, erythrocytes, bacteria.
Occult blood in the stool is a condition that is not seen in the urine but is recognized as blood. In this case, while the urine appears normal, only laboratory tests can detect blood. Occult blood in the stool is usually caused by a disease or damage to the kidney or urinary system. During urine analysis, the number of erythrocytes (blood cells) in the urine increases or the color of the urine changes.
Rheumatoid factor (RF) is a protein called an antibody. RF is elevated in many inflammatory diseases in the body. However, elevated RF is most commonly seen in a type of joint inflammatory disease called rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this disease, the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks normal cells and the joints become inflamed. An elevated RF level is taken as a marker for the presence of rheumatologic diseases such as RA.
A hemogram, also known as a complete blood count (CBC), is a common blood test that measures different components of the blood. The components measured include red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. This test can reveal symptoms of many diseases such as anemia, infection, cancer.
Iron tests determine the amount of iron in the body by measuring several substances in the blood. These tests are often ordered at the same time and the results are taken together to help identify and/or monitor iron deficiency or excess.
The Total Iron Binding Capacity test measures the extent to which iron-binding sites in the blood can be saturated with iron. Since almost all of the iron-binding groups in serum are found on transferrin, this test is also an indirect measure of the amount of transferrin in the blood.
Ferritin can be defined as a protein found in cells and used to store iron. Ferritin is found in the liver, spleen, bone marrow and muscle tissue. The amount of ferritin in the blood indicates the level of iron stocks in the body and is an indicator for conditions such as anemia (iron deficiency) or iron overload.
GGT (gamma-glutamyl transferase) is an enzyme found mainly in the liver, but also in small amounts in the pancreas and gallbladder. It is involved in the metabolism of amino acids and peptides. It is often used as an indicator of liver function and damage. Elevated GGT levels can be seen due to liver damage, alcohol abuse, liver tumors and certain medications.
ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase) is an enzyme found in various tissues in the body. These include liver, bone and placenta. ALP is most abundant in liver and bone tissue. It is used as an indicator of liver function and bone health. Elevated ALP levels can be seen due to liver diseases, bone tumors, certain medications and pregnancy.
Amylase is one of the enzymes in the digestive system and helps break down carbohydrates. It is produced mainly in pancreatic tissue and secreted during fasting and after eating. Amylase is an indicator for diseases in the digestive system such as constipation, digestive cancers or pancreatitis.
A calcium test is a blood test that measures the amount of calcium in the blood. This test is done to determine whether calcium levels are within the normal range, and when calcium levels are high or low, it can indicate the presence of various health problems. For example, low calcium levels may indicate bone health problems such as osteoporosis or a malfunctioning parathyroid gland, while high calcium levels may indicate kidney problems or a disorder of calcium metabolism.
Sodium is a blood test that measures the amount of sodium in the blood. Sodium is an electrolyte needed to control water balance in the body and sodium levels should be within the normal range. When sodium levels are high or low, it can indicate the presence of various health problems. For example, low sodium levels may indicate a condition called hyponatremia or kidney disease, while high sodium levels may indicate a condition called hypernatremia or kidney failure.
A potassium test is a blood test that measures the amount of potassium in the blood. Potassium is an electrolyte that is essential for various functions in the body, such as the transportation of electrical impulses, muscle contractions and kidney function, and potassium levels should be within the normal range. When potassium levels are high or low, it can indicate the presence of various health problems. For example, low potassium levels may indicate a condition called hypokalemia or kidney disease, while high potassium levels may indicate a condition called hyperkalemia or kidney failure.
Microalbuminuria is the presence of small amounts of albumin protein in the urine. This is considered an early sign of kidney disease. Microalbuminuria in urine may indicate the presence of diseases that cause the kidneys’ filtering ability to be weakened or damaged. For example, diseases such as diabetes, hypertension or glomerulonephritis can lead to microalbuminuria in urine. Therefore, when microalbuminuria is detected in the urine, the health of the kidneys should be assessed and appropriate treatment given.
Lp(a) (lipoprotein (a) is a lipoprotein particle similar to LDL. This particle contains the LDL particle as well as apolipoprotein (a), a protein that causes a capillary structure to form in the plasma. High levels of Lp(a) are recognized as a risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases. Lp(a) levels are genetically determined and cannot be lowered by diet or lifestyle changes. However, to reduce the risk of coronary artery disease, it is generally recommended to make changes to a healthy lifestyle and take preventive treatment.
Anti-TPO (Anti-thyroid peroxidase) is known as thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibody in Turkish. TPO is an enzyme that plays a role in hormone production in the thyroid gland. The anti-TPO test is used to detect the presence of autoimmune processes that cause disease in the thyroid gland. Especially in autoimmune diseases such as thyroiditis (inflammation of the thyroid gland) and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (chronic thyroiditis), an increase in antibodies against TPO is observed in the body. High Anti-TPO levels may indicate the presence of a disease in the thyroid gland. Therefore, the Anti-TPO test is used in the early diagnosis and follow-up of a disease that may occur in the thyroid gland.
Anti-Throglobulin is known as thyroglobulin antibody in Turkish. Thyroglobulin is a protein that plays a role in hormone production in the thyroid gland. The anti-thyroglobulin test is used to detect the presence of autoimmune processes that cause disease in the thyroid gland. Especially in autoimmune diseases such as thyroiditis (inflammation of the thyroid gland) and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (chronic thyroiditis), an increase in antibodies against thyroglobulin is observed in the body. High Anti-thyroglobulin levels may indicate the presence of a disease in the thyroid gland. Therefore, the Anti-thyroglobulin test is used in the early diagnosis and follow-up of a disease that may occur in the thyroid gland.
Folic acid is known as “Folate” in Turkish. Folic acid enables the conversion of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins, into each other, and is effective in the production of nucleic acids in the DNA structure and the production and proliferation of blood cells. One of the first systems to develop in your baby’s body is the nervous system, and folic acid plays an especially important role in the development of the nervous system. Spina bifida, a neural tube defect, is seen in the babies of pregnant women who are malnourished in folic acid during pregnancy. Spina bifida occurs when the tube that will form the brain and spinal cord fails to close properly during the development of the embryo. The closure of the embryo’s neural tube occurs in the early stages of pregnancy.
Vitamin B12 is necessary for the division of cells in our body, especially in the nervous system and blood. At the same time, vitamin B12 helps keep an amino acid called homocysteine at low levels in the body. For this reason, it is known that low vitamin B12 levels may cause an increase in homocysteine levels and this increase may cause cardiovascular diseases. Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to problems such as abnormal nervous system and blood cell division, especially in vegans or people with malabsorption problems. It is recommended to take adequate amounts of vitamin B12 to prevent vitamin B12 deficiency.
Calcidiol is known as “Calcium vitamin D” in Turkish. It is necessary for the healthy development and maintenance of bones in our body. At the same time, calcium vitamin D increases the absorption and use of calcium in the body. Low calcium and vitamin D levels can lead to problems such as bone weakness and osteoporosis. Calcium vitamin D deficiency is more common, especially in older people and/or people who spend little time indoors.
TSH is known as “Thyroid Stimulating Hormone” in Turkish. TSH is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland and is used to control the levels of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) produced by the thyroid gland. If T3 and T4 levels are low, the pituitary gland increases TSH production, which forces the thyroid gland to produce more hormone. If T3 and T4 levels are high, the pituitary gland reduces TSH production, forcing the thyroid gland to produce less hormone. TSH levels are used to monitor the health of the thyroid gland or the presence of diseases. For example, high TSH levels indicate hypothyroidism (the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones), while low TSH levels indicate hyperthyroidism (the thyroid gland produces excessive hormones).
T4 is a thyroid hormone produced by the thyroid gland. T4 is essential for regulating the body’s development and metabolism. T4 levels are used to monitor the health of the thyroid gland or the presence of diseases. For example, high T4 levels indicate hyperthyroidism (the thyroid gland produces excessive hormones), while low T4 levels indicate hypothyroidism (the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones). T4 levels are measured in the blood with a blood test. This test is used to diagnose and treat thyroid diseases such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
HBsAg is known as “Hepatitis B Superficial Antigen” in Turkish. HBsAg is part of the hepatitis B virus and is a sign of the presence of the virus inside the body. HBsAg is measured by a blood or urine test. A positive HBsAg test indicates that the person is infected with the hepatitis B virus or is an infected person. At the same time, being HBsAg positive means that the person can transmit the virus. HBsAg testing is performed in individuals recommended for hepatitis B vaccination or used to diagnose chronic hepatitis B.
Anti-HBs indicates the presence of antibodies in the body against the hepatitis B virus. Anti-HBs is measured by a blood test. A positive anti-HBs test indicates that the person is immune to the hepatitis B virus or is protected by the vaccine. Anti-HBs testing is done on people who have received the hepatitis B vaccine or is used to check whether the vaccine is effective.
Anti-HCV is known as “antibody against Hepatitis C virus” in Turkish. Anti-HCV indicates the presence of antibodies in the body against the hepatitis C virus. Anti-HCV is measured by a blood test. Finding anti-HCV positive indicates that the person is infected with the hepatitis C virus. This also means that being Anti-HCV positive means that the person can transmit the virus. Anti-HCV testing is used to diagnose hepatitis C.
Anti-HIV is known as “antibody against the HIV virus” in Turkish. Anti-HIV indicates the presence of antibodies in the body against the HIV virus. Anti-HIV is measured by a blood test. Finding anti-HIV positive indicates that the person is infected with the HIV virus. At the same time, being Anti-HIV positive means that the person can transmit the virus. Anti-HIV testing is used to diagnose HIV.
Glucose Test is known as “sugar test” in Turkish. This test is used to measure glucose levels in the body. Glucose is a type of sugar that the body uses as an energy source. Glucose testing is performed specifically to diagnose or treat diabetes. The test is usually done by taking a blood sample and shows how high glucose levels are.
HbA1c is known as “hemoglobin A1c” in Turkish. This test is used to measure average glucose levels in the body. HbA1c is a product formed by the combination of glucose and the protein that carries oxygen to the blood, called hemoglobin. This test is used to diagnose or treat diabetes. The test is usually done by taking a blood sample and shows how high your glucose levels are on average.
Insulin test is known as “test to measure insulin levels” in Turkish. This test is used to measure the levels of the hormone insulin in the body. Insulin is a hormone that allows the body to use glucose as energy. This test is performed specifically to diagnose or treat diabetes. The test is usually done by taking a blood sample and shows how high insulin levels are.
Cholesterol test is known as “test for measuring cholesterol levels” in Turkish. This test is used to measure the amount of cholesterol in the body. Cholesterol is a fat-like substance. Cholesterol produced by the body must be kept at a healthy level. However, high cholesterol levels can lead to cardiovascular diseases. This test is usually done by taking a blood sample and shows how high cholesterol levels are.
LDL is known as “low density lipoprotein” in Turkish. LDL cholesterol is also known as “bad cholesterol”; because high levels can lead to cardiovascular diseases. LDL serves as a protein that carries cholesterol throughout the body and is especially important for heart health. LDL levels can be measured with a blood test. Low LDL levels should be maintained at a healthy level.
HDL, also known as HDL cholesterol, “good cholesterol”; because high levels reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. HDL serves as a protein that carries cholesterol throughout the body and is especially important for heart health. HDL levels can be measured with a blood test. High HDL levels should be kept at a healthy level.
Triglyceride is known as “tri-glyceride” in Turkish. Triglycerides are a type of fat used in the body for energy. Triglycerides are a type of fat molecules carried within the bloodstream. High triglyceride levels can lead to cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, it is important to measure triglyceride levels regularly. Triglyceride levels can be measured with a blood test.
Uric acid is a waste substance formed in the body and is excreted by the body through urine. Uric acid is formed as a result of the breakdown of proteins. High uric acid levels can lead to conditions such as nephritis or arthritis. Uric acid levels can be measured with a blood test.
Urea is a waste substance formed in the body and is excreted by the body through urine. It is formed as a result of the breakdown of proteins. High urea levels indicate impaired kidney function. Urea levels can be measured with a blood test.
Creatinine is a waste substance formed in the body and is excreted by the body in urine. It is formed as a result of the breakdown of the substance called creatine in muscle tissue. Creatinine levels are used as a measure of kidney function. High creatinine levels indicate impaired kidney function. Creatinine levels can be measured with a blood test.
ALT (Alanine aminotransferase) and SGPT (Serum Glutamate Pyruvate Transaminase) mean the same thing in Turkish. These enzymes are found in liver cells and pass into the bloodstream when there is liver damage. Therefore, if ALT/SGPT levels are high, liver damage is considered. Levels of these enzymes can be measured with a blood test. High ALT/SGPT levels may vary depending on reasons such as liver diseases, intra-hepatic tumors, intra-hepatic bleeding, viral hepatitis, alcoholism and drug effects.
AST (Aspartate aminotransferase) and SGOT (Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetate Transaminase) refer to the same thing. AST/SGOT passes into the bloodstream in case of damage to cells in the liver, kidney, heart and other tissues. Therefore, if AST/SGOT levels are high, damage to these tissues is considered. Levels of these enzymes can be measured with a blood test. High AST/SGOT levels may be due to reasons such as liver diseases, heart attack, heart failure, kidney damage, muscle damage, drug effects.
Prostate specific antigen (PSA) test is a blood test used in the early detection of prostate cancer. PSA is a component produced in the prostate gland and is normally found in the body in small amounts. However, when prostate cancer occurs, PSA levels increase. The PSA test is used to detect the presence of prostate cancer and is usually performed annually in men over the age of 50. Even though PSA levels are high, this does not always mean prostate cancer. In men with high PSA levels, a prostate biopsy is usually performed and the presence or absence of cancer is confirmed. PSA testing is important for early detection of cancer; Because cancers diagnosed early give better results when treated. However, the PSA test is not used only for prostate cancer and is used in conjunction with other diagnostic methods.
