Men’s Health Panel

Men’s Health Panel

In Labmed Egypt, the doctor checks blood health, liver and kidney function, electrolytes, and lipids. The doctor also screens for diabetes and prostate cancer.

• Basic Examination for men

• Basic Plus Examination for men

• Advanced Assessment for men

This panel is a comprehensive suite of tests designed to evaluate various aspects of men's health. Here's how each test contributes to the panel:

1. Bilirubin: Helps assess liver function, where abnormalities may indicate liver disease or conditions such as Gilbert's syndrome.
2. CA 19-9: A tumor marker primarily used to monitor treatment for pancreatic cancer and to check for recurrence.
3. CBC (Complete Blood Count, includes Differential and Platelets): Evaluates overall health and detects a wide range of disorders, including anemia and infection.
4. CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen): Used as a tumor marker to help monitor colorectal cancer.
5. Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP): Provides a broad look at metabolic function and checks for liver and kidney health, electrolyte and acid/base balance, and blood glucose levels.
6. Copper: Assesses copper levels in red blood cells, which can impact various enzymes and immune function.
7. Cortisol, A.M.: Evaluates stress response and adrenal function, and can indicate disorders such as Addison's disease or Cushing's syndrome.
8. D-Dimer: Helps rule out clotting disorders and is often used to check for conditions like deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
9. DHEA Sulfate: Measures the levels of DHEA sulfate in the blood to evaluate adrenal function.
10. Estradiol: An estrogen hormone whose levels are measured to evaluate testicular function and balance of sex hormones.
11. Ferritin: Reflects the body's iron stores and is used to diagnose anemia or iron overload.
12. Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT): Used to assess liver health and can indicate bile duct problems.
13. CRP (C-Reactive Protein): A marker of inflammation and can be used to assess risk of cardiovascular disease and other inflammatory conditions, including Rheumatoid Arthritis.
14. Iron and Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC): Measures how much iron is in the blood and how well the iron binds to transferrin, which can affect immune and metabolic function.
15. Lactate Dehydrogenase (LD): An enzyme that, when elevated, can indicate tissue damage.
16. Lipid Panel: Assesses the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
17. Lipoprotein (A): A genetic variant of LDL cholesterol that can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
18. Progesterone: A hormone that can affect the immune system and is measured to assess adrenal and gonadal function.
19. PSA, Free and Total: Used to screen for prostate issues, including cancer.
20. Testosterone, Free and Total: Critical for evaluating male sex hormones which affect a range of bodily functions from immune response to metabolism and mood regulation.
21. Transferrin: A protein that transports iron throughout the body, important for diagnosing anemia or chronic inflammation.
22. Uric Acid: Elevated levels can indicate gout or kidney disease.

Each test in this panel provides crucial information about different aspects of a man's health, from hormone levels and metabolic processes to immune response and cancer markers. This comprehensive assessment is pivotal in early detection, prevention, and management of a wide range of health concerns.
