Check-up

Check-up is a comprehensive examination of the body. It allows you to identify any deviations at an early stage. This is especially important for detecting cancer.

Check-up includes various types of diagnostic tests, including blood tests, ultrasound, ECG and MRI.

Varieties

Check-up is not a universal examination that is equally suitable for everyone. Depending on the individual characteristics of each person’s body, his medical history, hereditary predisposition and risk factors, a different set of studies may be required.

General check-up

This checkup is designed to assess your general health. It includes:

  • Consultation with a therapist.
  • Basic laboratory tests.
  • Functional diagnostics.
  • Ultrasound examinations.

It is suitable for those who are just starting to take care of their health and want to get an overall picture of their condition.

Specialized check-ups

Specialized check-ups focus on specific body systems or disease risks. For example, if a patient has risk factors for developing cardiovascular diseases (high blood pressure, low physical activity, overweight, smoking), he is referred for a cardiac check-up.

Residents of Moscow, which belongs to iodine-deficient regions, may benefit from a thyroid gland check-up. This is especially true for those who complain of changes in the condition of hair and nails, irritability, weight changes, or lack of sexual desire.

Individual check-up

This examination is completely tailored to the individual patient. After the initial appointment, the therapist determines what kind of research needs to be done. Depending on the preliminary diagnosis, a check-up of the body includes:

  • Consultations of highly specialized doctors.
  • MRI and CT.
  • Endoscopy.
  • Ophthalmological diagnostics.

All procedures are carried out using the latest equipment, without the need to wait in line. The schedule is drawn up in such a way that the medical examination takes a minimum amount of time - usually 1-2 days.

Those who come for a check-up from afar or have limited mobility have the opportunity to undergo a full examination of the body while staying in the hospital.

Difference from clinical examination

Both methods are aimed at early detection of diseases and prevention of their development. However, there are a number of important differences between them.

Target audience

Medical examination is aimed at the entire population and is paid for by the state. This means that it is intended for all citizens, regardless of their age, gender or health status.

Check-up is carried out in commercial clinics and is paid for by the patient himself.

Personalization

Medical examination assumes that all patients undergo the same set of tests. The check-up includes the most modern diagnostic methods and takes into account the individual characteristics of each patient’s body.

Flexibility

Medical examination cannot quickly adapt to modern evidence-based medicine. Check-up, on the contrary, is able to quickly adapt to new scientific discoveries and include the most effective and relevant diagnostic methods.

  • Functional diagnostics. It includes various tests that help assess the functioning of various body systems (ECG, stress tests, spirometry, 24-hour blood pressure monitoring).
  • Ultrasound diagnostics, MRI and CT. Using these methods, doctors obtain detailed images of internal organs and structures.
