Check-Up Results: Normal Values and Evaluation Guide

The data obtained during a check-up is analyzed by comparing it with reference ranges determined by the laboratory. This approach is like comparing a measurement system's sensor output with its operating band. For each test, there is a normal range, and the result can be within, below, or above this band. This classification provides a technical evaluation but does not replace medical diagnosis.

Blood Analysis Parameters

In blood analyses, glucose, lipid values, liver enzymes, kidney parameters, and thyroid functions are fundamental indicators. If the obtained result is within the reference range, it is considered stable. If the value is below the range, it is noted as a low deviation; if above, it is noted as a high deviation. These deviations serve as warnings and require specialist physician evaluation.

Key Blood Test Components:

• Glucose Levels: Fasting blood sugar indicators
• Lipid Profile: Cholesterol and triglyceride measurements
• Liver Enzymes: ALT, AST, and other liver function markers
• Kidney Parameters: Creatinine, BUN, and renal function tests
• Thyroid Functions: TSH, T3, T4 hormone levels

Imaging Test Evaluation

In imaging tests, modules such as ultrasound, radiography, and ECG produce more interpretation-weighted results. A normal finding means no pathology is detected. Deviations and findings are classified by radiology and cardiology specialists. For international patients, result reports are prepared in accordance with international medical terminology.

Imaging Assessments Include:

• Ultrasound: Organ structure and function visualization
• X-ray/Radiography: Bone and chest imaging
• ECG: Heart rhythm and electrical activity
• Advanced Imaging: CT or MRI when needed

Understanding Your Results

Reference Range Interpretation:

Within Range: Result falls within established normal values

• Indicates stable health parameters
• Generally requires no immediate intervention
• May still benefit from lifestyle optimization

Below Range: Result lower than normal threshold

• May indicate deficiency or underactivity
• Requires specialist evaluation
• Could need supplementation or treatment

Above Range: Result higher than normal threshold

• May indicate excess or overactivity
• Warrants medical attention
• Might require medication or lifestyle changes

Important Notes

• Reference ranges may vary slightly between laboratories
• Results should always be interpreted by qualified physicians
• Individual factors (age, gender, medications) affect normal ranges
• One abnormal result doesn't necessarily indicate disease
• Trending results over time provides valuable health insights

Next Steps After Results

Normal Results:

• Continue healthy lifestyle practices
