Basic health check-up in Turkey

A primary health check-up generally includes a physical examination, lab tests, and instrumental studies:

• Meet with a healthcare provider to discuss your medical history and any current symptoms or concerns related to the digestive system, eyes, and heart.
• Physical examination, including measuring vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate, and a general body review, including the heart, lungs, abdomen, and eyes.
• A range of lab tests: complete blood count (CBC), biochemical analysis of blood (kidney, liver, and thyroid function tests, lipid panel), C-peptide test, inflammation blood tests, and analysis of urine and stool.
• Imaging and functional tests: chest X-ray, echocardiogram, ultrasound imaging of the abdomen, pelvis, thyroid gland, lung function tests, electrocardiogram (ECG).
• Ophthalmology examinations: visual acuity test, slit-lamp examination, light response pupil test, tonometry (intraocular pressure measurement), refractometry, ocular motility exam, visual field testing, fundus examination, and keratometry.

Regular check-ups help detect and diagnose health problems in their early stages when treatment is most effective. Check-ups can identify potential health risks and allow you to take steps to prevent them from becoming serious problems. Also, check-ups can give you peace of mind by helping you understand your current health status and identifying any areas of concern.
