12/12/2025

Folic acid (Vitamin B9) plays a crucial role during pregnancy, supporting the proper development of the baby’s brain and spinal cord.
Because the body’s needs increase significantly in early pregnancy, maintaining adequate folate levels before conception and throughout the first trimester is essential.

Low folic acid levels are linked to a higher risk of neural tube defects, making laboratory assessment an important component of prenatal care.

🌿 Why Folic Acid Matters
Folic acid contributes to:
🔹 Cell growth and DNA formation
🔹 Healthy neural tube development
🔹 Reduced risk of congenital abnormalities
🔹 Maternal blood and energy support

Since many pregnancies are unplanned, keeping folate levels stable before conception is highly recommended.

🔬 Laboratory Testing
A simple blood test can evaluate folate levels and determine whether supplementation is needed.
Testing is especially important for women who:
• Are planning a pregnancy
• Are in early pregnancy
• Follow restrictive diets
• Have conditions affecting nutrient absorption

🔬 At MediCheck Clinical Laboratory we conduct folate testing with accuracy and consistency, supporting proper prenatal care and helping ensure that the nutritional needs of both mother and baby are met from the very beginning of pregnancy.

12/12/2025

Faecal calprotectin is a highly reliable biomarker used to assess inflammation within the gastrointestinal tract.
It plays an important role in distinguishing between Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), which does not involve intestinal inflammation.

This makes faecal calprotectin a valuable and non-invasive test that helps guide clinical evaluation and reduces the need for unnecessary colonoscopies.

🔬 What Is Calprotectin?
Calprotectin is a protein released by neutrophils, a type of white blood cell, when inflammation occurs in the bowel lining.
Because it remains stable in stool samples, it serves as a sensitive and reliable indicator of intestinal inflammation.

🧠 IBS vs. IBD – How the Test Helps
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
Conditions such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis involve active inflammation.
● Faecal calprotectin levels are typically elevated.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
A functional disorder without structural inflammation.
● Calprotectin levels are generally normal or low.

Therefore, a negative test result strongly suggests IBS, helping clinicians avoid unnecessary invasive investigations.

🩺 Why This Test Matters
Faecal calprotectin testing can:
• Differentiate inflammatory from non-inflammatory bowel disorders
• Reduce the need for colonoscopy
• Support physicians in selecting appropriate treatment
• Aid in the early diagnosis of IBD when inflammation is present

🔬 At MediCheck Clinical Laboratory, faecal calprotectin testing is performed with precision and consistency, supporting reliable assessment of intestinal health.

09/12/2025

Osteopenia is a condition where bone mineral density is lower than normal but not low enough to be classified as osteoporosis.
It represents an early stage of bone weakening, and without proper monitoring, it can progress to osteoporosis over time.

Although osteopenia often has no symptoms, it is an important indicator that the bones may be losing strength, making early evaluation and prevention essential.

🦴 What Causes Osteopenia?
Several factors may contribute to decreased bone density:

🔹 Aging
🔹 Low calcium or vitamin D intake
🔹 Sedentary lifestyle
🔹 Smoking or excessive alcohol consumption
🔹 Hormonal changes (e.g., menopause)
🔹 Certain medical conditions or medications

🔬 How Is Osteopenia Detected?
Diagnosis relies on:

🔹 Bone Density Testing (DEXA scan) – the primary method for assessing bone health
🔹 Blood tests evaluating vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus, and bone metabolism markers

These tests help identify reduced bone density early and monitor progression.

💡 Why Early Monitoring Matters
Early detection of osteopenia helps:

🔹 Prevent further bone loss
🔹 Reduce the risk of future fractures
🔹 Support bone strength through diet and supplements
🔹 Guide exercise and lifestyle changes that protect bone health

With proper care, osteopenia can be managed effectively, reducing the likelihood of developing osteoporosis.

09/12/2025

Pre-diabetes is a condition where blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be classified as diabetes.
It is a critical early stage that often develops silently, without noticeable symptoms, yet it significantly increases the risk of Type 2 Diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic complications.

Although pre-diabetes is common, it is also reversible when identified early through proper testing and timely lifestyle changes.

🔍 How Does Pre-Diabetes Develop?

Pre-diabetes occurs when the body does not respond effectively to insulin (insulin resistance) or when the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin to maintain normal glucose levels.

Risk may increase due to:
🔹 Family history of diabetes
🔹 Excess body weight or central obesity
🔹 Sedentary lifestyle
🔹 Unbalanced diet
🔹 Hormonal conditions (e.g., PCOS)
🔹 Previous gestational diabetes

🩺 What Are the Signs?

Pre-diabetes often develops without symptoms, which is why many people are unaware of it.
In some cases, individuals may experience:

🔹 Increased fatigue
🔹 Increased thirst or urination
🔹 Cravings or energy fluctuations

These signs are subtle, which makes laboratory testing essential.

🔬 Key Tests for Detecting Pre-Diabetes

Accurate diagnosis is made through simple laboratory tests:

🔹 Fasting Blood Glucose
🔹 Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT)
🔹 HbA1c, which reflects long-term glucose control

These tests help detect early dysregulation and allow healthcare professionals to intervene before diabetes develops.

💡 Why Early Identification Matters

Early diagnosis of pre-diabetes:

🔹 Reduces the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes
🔹 Supports healthy weight management
🔹 Helps protect heart, kidney and vascular health
🔹 Enables lifestyle changes that can reverse the condition

With timely action, pre-diabetes can be controlled and often reversed, preventing long-term complications.

30/11/2025

🦠 RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) is a highly common virus that affects the respiratory system and can cause anything from mild cold-like symptoms to more severe infections.

Although it can affect people of all ages, it often requires closer attention in infants, young children, older adults, and individuals with reduced immune defenses. RSV is one of the primary causes of lower respiratory infections in childhood, while in adults it may resemble a typical seasonal cold.

🔍 Common Symptoms of RSV

✔️ Nasal congestion, cough and sneezing, which may progressively worsen in infants and older adults
✔️ Fever, wheezing and difficulty breathing, often associated with inflammation of the lower airways
✔️ Reduced appetite, tiredness and irritability, especially in infants who may struggle to feed comfortably

💡 Why Early Testing Matters

🔹 Early identification helps distinguish RSV from other infections such as influenza or COVID-19, ensuring proper monitoring and timely care
🔹 Lower risk of complications, particularly in groups more prone to severe illness, such as infants or individuals with chronic respiratory conditions
🔹 Better illness management, since diagnosing RSV early can guide supportive care and help prevent worsening symptoms

21/11/2025

💡 Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks the thyroid gland, gradually affecting its ability to produce hormones and often leading to hypothyroidism.

If you are experiencing persistent fatigue, weight changes, mood disturbances, or sensitivity to cold, it may be time to evaluate your thyroid function. 🔍

🩺 How is Hashimoto’s Diagnosed?

Diagnosis is made through targeted laboratory tests that can detect thyroid dysfunction and autoimmune activity, even before significant symptoms appear:

🔹 Thyroid Hormone Testing (TSH, T3, T4): Evaluates how effectively the thyroid produces and regulates hormones essential for metabolism, energy, and overall balance.

🔹 Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPOAb): The presence of elevated antibodies confirms autoimmune activity and is a key marker for Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis.

💡 Why Early Diagnosis Matters

Identifying Hashimoto’s early allows timely management and helps prevent complications such as severe hypothyroidism, cardiovascular effects, or fertility issues. With proper treatment and monitoring, thyroid function can be stabilized, supporting long-term wellbeing.

🔬 Regular thyroid testing is a simple but powerful step toward maintaining energy, balance, and overall health.

14/11/2025

💙 Every year on November 14, the world unites to raise awareness about Diabetes Mellitus, a chronic metabolic condition that affects millions of people of all ages.

Diabetes occurs when the body cannot properly regulate blood glucose. This happens either because the pancreas produces little or no insulin (Type 1 Diabetes), or because the body cannot use insulin effectively (Type 2 Diabetes).
During pregnancy, some women may also develop Gestational Diabetes, which requires careful monitoring for the health of both mother and baby.

Uncontrolled diabetes can gradually affect vital organs such as the heart, kidneys, eyes and nerves. However, early detection, balanced nutrition, physical activity and medical guidance can significantly reduce complications and improve quality of life.

💡 World Diabetes Day reminds us that prevention starts with understanding. Knowing the signs, checking your glucose levels and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are key steps toward long-term wellbeing.
