Preventive health check-up for adolescents aged 12–18 years

The preventive laboratory check-up for adolescents aged 12–18 years is a comprehensive set of tests designed to assess overall health status, metabolism, internal organ function, iron levels, and to detect early hidden inflammatory and metabolic disorders.

During adolescence, the body undergoes rapid development, making regular monitoring of key health parameters especially important. This panel provides a comprehensive baseline assessment of health status even in the absence of symptoms.

What the panel includes

• Complete blood count (without ESR)
• Biochemical urine analysis (with sediment examination)
• Glucose (carbohydrate metabolism)
• Thyroid-stimulating hormone, TSH (thyroid function)
• Alanine aminotransferase, ALT (liver function)
• Creatinine (kidney function)
• Total bilirubin (liver and bilirubin metabolism)
• Ferritin (iron stores)
• C-reactive protein, CRP (inflammation)
• Total cholesterol (lipid profile)

What it evaluates

• Overall health status and hemoglobin level
• Risk of iron deficiency
• Presence of inflammatory processes
• Thyroid gland function
• Liver and kidney function
• Glucose metabolism and risk of glycemic disorders
• Basic lipid profile and metabolic risk

Indications

• Preventive check-up for adolescents aged 12–18 years
• Annual health monitoring
• Increased fatigue, weakness
• Growth and development assessment
• Suspected iron deficiency or anemia
• Preparation for sports activities
• General screening in asymptomatic individuals

Procedure

• Venous blood collection from a peripheral vein (usually in the elbow area)
• Urine collection in a sterile container for biochemical analysis with sediment examination
• All samples are collected in a laboratory or medical setting
• Procedures are performed by healthcare professionals
• The process takes a few minutes and is generally well tolerated
• Mild discomfort may occur during blood draw
