Iron deficiency anemia is the most common type of anemia and results from insufficient iron levels in the body.
Iron is essential for hemoglobin production, which carries oxygen to tissues. When iron levels decrease, oxygen delivery to cells is reduced.

🔍 How iron deficiency anemia presents?
Symptoms often develop gradually and may go unnoticed.

Common signs include:
🔹 Persistent fatigue and reduced stamina.
🔹 Dizziness or headaches.
🔹 Shortness of breath during physical activity.
🔹 Pale skin and mucous membranes.
🔹 Reduced concentration.

🧠 Who is at higher risk?
Iron deficiency anemia is more frequently seen in
🔹 Women of reproductive age due to menstrual blood loss.
🔹 Pregnant women due to increased iron requirements.
🔹 Individuals with dietary deficiencies.
🔹 People with gastrointestinal conditions affecting absorption.

🔬 The role of laboratory testing

Diagnosis relies on a combination of hematological and biochemical tests that reflect iron status.
Laboratory evaluation includes
🔹 Hemoglobin and hematocrit.
🔹 Serum iron levels.
🔹 Ferritin as an indicator of iron stores.
🔹 Transferrin saturation indices.

💡 Why early diagnosis matters?

Early detection allows timely treatment and helps prevent complications such as severe fatigue, cardiovascular strain and reduced quality of life.

Laboratory monitoring also guides treatment effectiveness and recovery.

🔬 At MediCheck Clinical Laboratory, we perform comprehensive and reliable testing for iron deficiency anemia, supporting accurate diagnosis and clinical assessment.

🩸 Does menstruation affect my laboratory test results?

Menstruation is a natural physiological process accompanied by hormonal and hematological changes that may influence certain laboratory test results. Choosing the appropriate timing for blood sampling plays an important role in ensuring accurate interpretation.

🔍 Which tests may be affected?

During menstruation, changes may be observed in
🔹 Iron and ferritin levels due to blood loss.
🔹 Hormonal tests related to the menstrual cycle.
🔹 Inflammatory markers which may show mild elevations.

🧠 Hormonal testing.

Many hormonal tests must be performed on specific days of the menstrual cycle to provide meaningful diagnostic information. For example, tests such as FSH, LH and estradiol are usually recommended during the early days of the cycle, while progesterone is evaluated during a different phase.

🔬 What applies to other laboratory tests.

Most biochemical tests, including glucose, lipid profile and thyroid function, are not significantly affected by menstruation.

💡 Why proper information matters?

Understanding how the menstrual cycle affects testing helps avoid unnecessary repeat exams, supports accurate result interpretation and contributes to better clinical decision making.

🔬 At MediCheck Clinical Laboratory, we provide clear guidance on the optimal timing of laboratory tests, supporting accurate and responsible diagnostic assessment.

🦠 Epstein Barr Virus belongs to the herpes virus family and is one of the most common viral infections worldwide.

Most people are infected at some point in life, often without realizing it, as the infection may be mild or completely asymptomatic.

🔍 How it spreads and how it presents.
The virus is mainly transmitted through saliva and is therefore commonly referred to as the disease of kissing.

In many cases, it causes infectious mononucleosis, with symptoms such as.
🔹 Persistent fatigue that may last for weeks or months.
🔹 Fever and sore throat.
🔹 Swollen lymph nodes.
🔹 Headache and muscle pain.

🧠 Epstein Barr and long lasting symptoms.
After the initial infection, the virus remains dormant in the body.

In some individuals, it may reactivate or be associated with prolonged fatigue, reduced physical endurance and general weakness, particularly when the immune system is under stress.

🔬 The role of laboratory testing.
Laboratory evaluation is essential to distinguish between recent infection, past exposure, active infection or possible viral reactivation.

📌 Indicative interpretation of EBV antibodies.
🔹 Positive EBV IgG with negative EBV IgM and positive EBNA antibodies indicate past infection.
🔹 Positive EBV IgM antibodies indicate recent or acute infection.
🔹 EBNA antibodies develop months after infection and remain positive, confirming previous exposure.
🔹 EBV EA antibodies usually appear within the first month and gradually decline within three to six months. Elevated levels may suggest possible viral reactivation, often with EBV IgM remaining negative.

Proper interpretation of laboratory results helps physicians explain persistent symptoms and guide appropriate follow up.

💡 Why accurate diagnosis matters.
Confirming Epstein Barr infection prevents unnecessary treatments, supports effective fatigue management and contributes to overall recovery and long term wellbeing.

🔬 At MediCheck Clinical Laboratory, we perform reliable and specialized Epstein Barr testing, supporting accurate diagnosis and clinical evaluation.

🧬 Polycystic O***y Syndrome or PCOS is one of the most common endocrine disorders affecting women of reproductive age.

It is a complex condition that influences not only the menstrual cycle and fertility, but also metabolism, body weight and long-term health.

🔍 How PCOS presents

Symptoms vary significantly between individuals and may often be subtle or attributed to other causes.

Common features include:
🔹 Irregular or absent menstrual cycles due to ovulatory dysfunction.
🔹 Hyperandrogenism which may appear as acne or increased hair growth.
🔹 Weight gain or difficulty losing weight.
🔹 Reduced fertility or difficulty conceiving.

🧠 PCOS and metabolic health

PCOS is frequently associated with insulin resistance, increasing the risk of prediabetes, type 2 diabetes and lipid abnormalities.
For this reason, PCOS is not only a gynecological condition but a broader metabolic health concern requiring comprehensive assessment.

🔬 The role of laboratory testing
Diagnosis and monitoring rely on a combination of clinical findings and targeted laboratory evaluation.

Testing may include:
🔹 Hormonal profile to assess endocrine balance.
🔹 Glucose and insulin testing to evaluate insulin resistance.
🔹 Lipid profile for cardiometabolic risk assessment.
🔹 Thyroid function tests to exclude other endocrine disorders.

💡 Why early diagnosis matters?

Accurate diagnosis enables timely intervention, better symptom control and reduction of long term health risks.

With proper monitoring and guidance, many women with PCOS can achieve hormonal balance and maintain a good quality of life.

🔬 At MediCheck Clinical Laboratory, we provide comprehensive and reliable laboratory testing, supporting accurate diagnosis and ongoing monitoring of PCOS.

CRP vs ESR – Blood Tests for Inflammation Assessment

CRP (C-Reactive Protein) and ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) are two widely used blood tests that help evaluate the presence of inflammation in the body.
Although they are often requested together, they reflect different aspects of the inflammatory process.

Understanding how these tests work helps explain why both may be useful in assessing infections, inflammatory conditions, and chronic diseases.

🔬 CRP (C-Reactive Protein)
CRP is a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation.
It rises rapidly in cases of acute inflammation or infection and decreases quickly as the condition improves.

CRP is particularly useful for:
🔹 Acute infections
🔹 Active inflammation
🔹 Monitoring response to treatment

🔬 ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate)
ESR measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in a blood sample.
It reflects ongoing or long-term inflammation, but changes more slowly compared to CRP.

ESR is commonly used in:
🔹 Chronic inflammatory conditions
🔹 Autoimmune diseases
🔹 Long-term inflammatory monitoring

🧠 Why Are Both Tests Important?
CRP responds quickly to changes in inflammation, while ESR provides a broader and more gradual picture.
Together, they offer complementary information that supports clinical evaluation.

🔬 At MediCheck Clinical Laboratory, CRP and ESR testing is performed with accuracy and consistency, supporting reliable assessment of inflammatory conditions.

29/12/2025

🦠 Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, is an acute bacterial infection of the respiratory system caused by Bordetella pertussis.

It spreads easily through respiratory droplets during coughing or sneezing and can affect individuals of all ages.

The infection typically develops in stages, beginning with mild cold-like symptoms and progressing to intense, prolonged coughing episodes that may last for several weeks.

🔍 When to Consider Testing

Laboratory evaluation is recommended when a cough:
• persists for an extended period
• occurs in severe coughing fits
• does not respond to standard treatment

In such cases, targeted testing can support accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.

🔬 Laboratory Diagnosis of Pertussis

Diagnosis is based on specialized microbiological tests, including:
🔹 PCR testing for detection of bacterial genetic material
🔹 Nasopharyngeal culture
🔹 Serological testing for antibody detection

The choice of test depends on symptom duration and clinical presentation.

💡 Prevention and Management

Treatment typically involves appropriate antibiotic therapy, while vaccination remains the most effective preventive measure.
Special attention is required in infants and young children, where the infection may lead to more serious complications.

🔬 At MediCheck Clinical Laboratory, we perform reliable and modern diagnostic testing, supporting accurate investigation of respiratory infections.

22/12/2025

C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is a simple blood test used to identify the presence of inflammation in the body.

CRP levels increase when the body responds to conditions such as infections, inflammatory processes or tissue injury.

Because inflammation is often not visible through symptoms alone, CRP testing provides valuable insight that supports clinical evaluation.

🩺 When Is CRP Testing Useful?

CRP is particularly helpful in:
🔹 Suspected infections, both acute and ongoing
🔹 Monitoring chronic inflammatory conditions
🔹 Assessing disease activity and response to treatment
🔹 Supporting clinical decisions when symptoms are unclear

Elevated CRP levels indicate active inflammation, while normal levels usually suggest the absence of significant inflammatory activity.

🔍 Why CRP Matters

CRP testing helps clinicians:
• Confirm whether inflammation is present
• Monitor progression or resolution of illness
• Support diagnosis alongside clinical findings and other laboratory tests

It is widely used as a reliable marker of inflammation, contributing to timely and informed medical decisions.

🔬 At MediCheck Clinical Laboratory, CRP testing is performed with accuracy and consistency, supporting dependable assessment of inflammatory conditions.
