Extended Health Screening for Children and Teens

When is it worth doing?

This extended package is recommended for children and teens in cases such as:

• frequent infections, weakened immunity, persistent fatigue,
• concentration problems, low energy, learning difficulties,
• unusual skin color, yellowing of the eyes, or digestive issues,
• weight gain or suspected insulin resistance,
• growth delays or signs of nutrient deficiencies (iron, vitamin D, calcium),
• preventive care during growth spurts, puberty, or increased physical activity.

What does the package include?

This package includes 12 laboratory tests that examine various organs and systems of a developing body:

• Vitamin D3 (25-OH) – vital for immunity, calcium-phosphate balance, and bone strength.
• Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) – an enzyme linked to bone activity and liver metabolism.
• ALT and AST – liver enzymes used to evaluate liver function.
• Total bilirubin – elevated levels may indicate liver or bile duct issues.
• Calcium (Ca) – essential for heart, muscle, nervous system, and bone health.
• Iron (Fe) – assesses hemoglobin and iron reserves; key for anemia prevention.
• Glucose – helps detect blood sugar abnormalities and insulin resistance.
• Creatinine – a marker of kidney function and muscle metabolism.
• Complete blood count (CBC 5 diff) – analyzes red and white blood cells and platelets.
• Inorganic phosphates (P) – supports bone mineralization and energy metabolism.
• Urea – a marker of protein metabolism and kidney function.

What is the procedure like?

Tests are performed using a venous blood sample. The process is fast, safe, and adapted to children and adolescents:

• Blood collection takes just a few minutes and is done by trained pediatric staff.
• Thin needles and child-friendly techniques are used to reduce discomfort.
• Synevo centers offer a friendly environment with small rewards and distractions for young patients.

How to prepare?

To ensure reliable test results, follow these preparation tips:

• Fasting – your child should avoid eating for at least 8 hours before the test. Water is allowed.
• Medications and supplements – inform the staff about all medications, especially those with iron, calcium, or vitamin D.
• Help your child stay calm – supportive conversation and presence of a parent reduce anxiety.

Did you know…?

• During adolescence, the demand for vitamin D, iron, and calcium increases significantly – deficiencies can affect growth, immunity, and mood.
• High glucose levels in children may signal early stages of type 2 diabetes – even without obvious symptoms.
• Elevated ALP in teens is often linked to growth – but lab testing helps distinguish normal development from health issues.
