Federica Frau/Vascular Age Check Riepilogo
|
|
Customer informationThis is a noninvasive assessment for the prevention and screening of hypertension that examines blood pressure and arterial stiffness. Determining arterial stiffness is equivalent to estimating the ability of arteries to expand and contract in relation to various phases of the cardiac cycle. A stiffer artery has a reduced ability to cushion, by dilating, the blood flow emitted at each systole, and the result is higher values of systolic pressure and lower values of diastolic pressure centrally.

Federica Frau/Bones Check Riepilogo
|
|
Customer informationOsteoporosis is defined as a systemic disease of the skeletal system, characterized by low mineral density and deterioration of the micro-architecture of bone tissue, resulting in increased bone fragility mainly related to aging. This situation leads, consequently, to an increased risk of fracture (particularly of vertebrae, femur, wrist, humerus, ankle) due to even minimal trauma. The processes of bone demineralization mainly affect women after menopause, but also young women and men with genetic predisposition. Osteoporosis does not give immediate symptomatology so it is very difficult to diagnose, it is called a "silent" disease with no obvious symptoms.

Federica Frau/PSA Check Gestione
|
|
Customer informationIn general, PSA values in the range of 0.1 and 4 ng/mL are considered normal, while levels above 4 ng/mL are considered abnormal. However, the normal range can be extended up to 6.5 ng/mL in men over 65 years of age, as PSA values tend to increase with age.<g id="1"/>Beyond age, the test result can be altered by several other factors. For example, certain medications for the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy and baldness (such as finasteride and dutasteride) can reduce PSA values by 50 percent, just as medications that affect testosterone levels can alter the outcome of the test.<g id="2"/>Also trauma to the prostate from, for example, prolonged bicycling, motorcycle riding, or horseback riding can increase PSA levels in the blood.<g id="3"/>In addition, it is recommended not to test with a current urinary infection or immediately after having some specific invasive tests (such as rectal examination or prostate biopsy), as these conditions can raise PSA levels. Finally, for the same reason, it is recommended not to engage in strenuous physical activity or sexual intercourse in the 48 hours prior to the test.<g id="4"/> Consequently, please remember not to make appointments if these circumstances are present.
