Men's health package when planning to have children<\/h1>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

We recommend this screening package to male members of couples who are about to have a child, examining the most important parameters of carbohydrate metabolism and hormone homeostasis in the liver, kidneys, hematopoietic system and thyroid function.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Vitamin D<\/h3>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Vitamin D not only plays a role in the healthy development of bones, but also affects the functioning of the immune system, nervous system, cardiovascular system, and metabolism. As an integral part of a healthy lifestyle, vitamin D levels should be monitored at regular intervals (approximately quarterly).<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

Iron<\/h3>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Iron is an important component of the oxygen-carrying protein in the blood, haemoglobin. In case of iron deficiency<\/a>, anaemia develops, the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood decreases, the symptoms are fatigue, dizziness, weakness. In the case of iron deficiency, it must be ascertained whether it is due to increased loss (bleeding) or chronic illness (inflammation, cancer).<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

CRP<\/h3>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

C-reactive protein. It is a sensitive indicator of inflammation, the level of which increases in proportion to the severity of the condition. Once the inflammation has passed, its value decreases rapidly. In the case of more severe inflammation, its value can be high (up to several hundred).<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Westergren (ESR)<\/h3>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

It draws attention to the existence of an abnormal process in the body, it is suitable for monitoring diseases. Its value is increased in infectious diseases, inflammation and malignancies, severe anaemia, kidney and thyroid disease.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

Examination of liver function<\/h3>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

The liver is the largest gland in the human body, responsible for, among other things, detoxification. Its role is essential for the normal functioning of metabolic processes. The liver produces cholesterol, an important component of bile, cleanses incoming blood, stores starch, and produces many vital proteins and coagulation factors, and stores vitamins A, D, and B12. It also plays a primary role in the breakdown of toxic substances (filters toxins from the blood), iron and copper metabolism, and bilirubin metabolism.<\/p>\n

Items tested in the liver function laboratory package: bilirubin, GOT, GPT, GGT, AP, albumin, cholinesterase.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

Examination of renal function<\/h3>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

In the renal function laboratory test package, creatinine, urea, uric acid, general urine, and sediment are performed.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Testosterone<\/h3>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Testosterone is a steroid hormone (androgen) produced by the testicles in men. In men, testosterone stimulates the development of secondary sex, such as the growth of the penis, body hair and muscles, and the deepening of the voice.<\/p>\n

Testosterone levels show significant variation among men, so there are a wide range of age-related testosterone values.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone)<\/h3>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

It is a protein that is produced by the pituitary gland, not the thyroid gland, and is needed for the thyroid gland to function properly. If the value of TSH is increased, we talk about hypothyroidism, if the value of TSH is significantly decreased, we can often talk about hyperthyroidism.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
