With us, you will always receive a doctor’s opinion from a licensed physician when you order a medical check-up that includes a medical opinion. The doctor’s opinion includes an overall assessment of your results from laboratory analysis. The opinion is individual and may vary depending on the specific tests your medical check-up includes.

What can I expect in the medical report?

The medical opinion will summarize the results of your test results to give you an assessment of your health including any abnormalities outside the reference ranges. In case of abnormalities or need, your doctor may also contact you for a free conversation to explain and talk about your results. Remember that a health check always includes specific test results based on your health and your personal circumstances. Values outside the reference range should therefore always be discussed with a doctor before any decisions regarding possible treatment are made.

What does the doctor look at during a health check?

When assessing a blood test or health check, your doctor will look at several different parameters to evaluate your health and identify any abnormalities. Below are some common aspects your doctor may examine:

Blood counts: Your doctor will check red, white and platelet counts to identify any signs of anaemia, infection or bleeding.

Nutrients and biochemical markers: Includes, for example, analysis and monitoring of blood sugar (glucose) levels, electrolyte levels (e.g. sodium, potassium), liver function tests (e.g. liver enzymes), kidney function tests (e.g. creatinine, urea) and lipid profile (e.g. cholesterol, triglycerides). The results of the tests give your doctor a better idea of your organ function, blood sugar level, cholesterol conditions and other important health aspects.

Inflammatory markers: Your doctor may measure health markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) or red blood cell decrease rate (SR) to evaluate inflammatory conditions or confirm an active infection.

Hormone levels: Your doctor may monitor your hormone levels to assess hormonal imbalances or diseases, such as thyroid hormones (TSH, T3, T4), sex hormones or other specific hormones such as testosterone levels.

Specific tests: Depending on your goal of your health check or medical history, your doctor may look into specific tests to investigate conditions or diseases, such as diabetes, vitamin deficiency or autoimmune diseases.

In conclusion, the doctor weighs all test results based on the health check to assess your overall health, detect any abnormalities and identify possible underlying medical conditions.

What happens if I have abnormal test results?

If your blood count is abnormal, this will be addressed in your personal medical opinion. Depending on the nature and extent of the abnormality, your doctor may also contact you directly through the test result service for further guidance. Various measures and advice will be provided based on the specific abnormalities observed along with your medical history.

Abdominal ultrasound is an imaging examination primarily used to investigate a specific medical question. Ultrasound can be used to assess, among other things, the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, kidneys, spleen and parts of the pancreas.

Abdominal ultrasound – for abdominal pain, swelling or abnormal test results

Abdominal ultrasound may, for example, be used when there is a suspicion of gallstones, changes in the liver or bile ducts, fluid in the abdomen or certain changes in the kidneys. It can also be used to follow up previously known findings in the abdomen.

Abdominal ultrasound is not a general screening examination and should not be used to check whether all organs in the abdomen are healthy. What can be assessed depends, among other things, on the underlying medical question, where in the abdomen the symptoms are located and need to be examined, and the anatomical conditions.

Abdominal ultrasound – for targeted medical questions

Abdominal ultrasound may be appropriate when symptoms or test results raise suspicion of a specific change in the abdomen. This may, for example, involve pain beneath the right rib cage with suspected gallstones, elevated liver test results, fluid in the abdomen or questions relating to the kidneys.

Common symptoms and medical questions

Abdominal ultrasound may, among other things, be used for:

pain in the upper abdomen, for example when gallstones are suspected
elevated liver test results or suspected changes in the liver or bile ducts
suspected fluid accumulation in the abdomen, known as ascites
suspected cysts or other localised changes in the liver or kidneys
questions relating to the kidneys and urinary tract, for example suspected urinary obstruction
follow-up of previous findings in, for example, the liver, kidneys or spleen

Symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea and bloating can have many different causes. Ultrasound is therefore not always the appropriate examination based on a symptom alone. The choice of imaging method should be based on what specifically needs to be investigated.

What can be seen on an abdominal ultrasound?

Ultrasound cannot rule out all types of disease or changes in the abdomen. Gas in the bowel, body build and the position of the organs can affect image quality. For some medical questions, CT or MRI may therefore be more appropriate. Abdominal ultrasound can, among other things, be used to assess:

gallstones and certain changes in the gallbladder and bile ducts
fatty changes, cysts and certain other changes in the liver
fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity
cysts and certain structural changes in the kidneys
dilatation of the renal pelvis or other signs of urinary obstruction
enlargement or other structural changes in the spleen
certain changes in the pancreas, when the organ can be visualised sufficiently well

How an abdominal ultrasound is performed

The examination is performed while you are lying on your back. Gel is applied to the skin and the doctor moves the ultrasound probe over the abdominal area to assess the internal organs. The examination takes approximately 20–30 minutes and is completely painless. For the best image quality, you should fast for 4–6 hours beforehand, as gas and food in the bowel can affect the images. If necessary, the urinary bladder may also be examined while full in order to assess urinary drainage from the kidneys.

Book an abdominal ultrasound – receive a report from a specialist doctor

The images are reviewed by a specialist doctor in radiology, who prepares a written medical report. The results are delivered digitally within a few working days and can be shared with your treating doctor for further follow-up or treatment. If necessary, findings may be followed up with MRI or CT for more detailed assessment.

The abdomen is the body's internal hub, where several of our most important organs are gathered in a protected but flexible space. These organs include digestive organs such as the stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, gallbladder and pancreas. These organs are responsible for the breakdown and absorption of nutrients, as well as detoxification and metabolism.

The kidneys and ureters are also located in the abdomen, which are responsible for purifying the blood and regulating both fluid and salt balance. The spleen is part of the immune system and breaks down old blood cells. All of these organs are surrounded by a protective peritoneum and are stored in different layers of muscle, fat and connective tissue that make up the abdominal wall. The abdomen is a very rich area of both blood vessels and nerves, which makes it sensitive to both illness and injury.

The abdomen is the central area between the rib cage and the pelvis that houses several of the body's most important organs. This is where digestion, detoxification, and the immune system take place, among other things.

After your order has been completed, we will send a referral for your ultrasound examination. You will receive a phone call from the referring physician at our clinic, who will go through your medical history and current symptoms. After that, your referral will be forwarded to the radiology clinic.

Before an ultrasound examination of the abdomen and other organs, it is important to follow the preparation instructions in the appointment letter you received from the radiology department. For examinations of organs in the upper part of the abdomen (such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and spleen), you will usually need to fast for about 6 hours before the examination.

For other types of ultrasound, such as examinations of the carotid arteries, thyroid gland, or soft tissues, no specific preparation is usually required.

Always bring valid identification and please arrive in good time.

Fasting 6 hours before the examination.

After your ultrasound examination has been performed, the imaging material is reviewed by a radiology specialist. The radiologist assesses the examination based on the question stated in your referral and writes a medical response to the doctor who ordered the examination.

Our referring physician will then review the report and return to you with a written medical assessment and clear guidance on what the results mean for you.

If the ultrasound shows signs of abnormal findings, we will ensure that you receive a referral to an appropriate healthcare provider, if necessary, or receive advice on how to follow up on the examination. This is always included in the price.
