A special diagnostic profile has been developed in order to comprehensively assess the body condition for pregnancy planning:
“Preparation for pregnancy. Men. Advanced” profile include the following analyses:
- Complete Blood Count with leukocyte count* (CBC)
- Total protein
- Total bilirubin
- Urea
- Creatinine
- Glucose (sugar in blood)
- Total cholesterol
- 25-OH vitamin D (25-OH vitamin D, 25(OH)D, 25-hydroxycalciferol)
- Physical and chemical examination of urine with microscopy
- Smear microscopic examination
- Ultrasensitive TSH (thyroid hormone)
- FSH (follicle stimulating hormone)
- LH (luteinizing hormone)
- HCG (chorionic gonadotropin)
- Prolactin
- Testosterone
- Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) If you makeTestosterone and SHBG analyses simultaneously, free testosterone index is counted free of charge
- Anti-sperm antibodies in blood
- HBsAg (V2) (Hepatitis B - surface or Australian antigen)
- Anti-HCV (Hepatitis С)
- Anti-Rub IgG ( IgG antibodies against rubella virus)
- Anti-Rub IgМ ( IgМ antibodies against rubella virus)
- Anti-Toxo IgM ( IgM antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii)
- Anti-Toxo IgG ( IgG antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii)
- Anti-CMV-IgG ( IgG antibodies against Cytomegalovirus)
- Anti-CMV-IgM ( IgМ antibodies against Cytomegalovirus)
- Syphilis (total antibodies to Treponema pallidum)
- Florocenosis NCMT (Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma genitalium, Trichomonas vaginalis)
- Florocenosis-Mycoplasmas (Ureaplasma parvum, Ureaplasma urealiticum, Mycoplasma hominis), DNA quantification
- Florocenosis-Aerobes (Enterobacteriaceae, Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp.), DNA quantification
- Florocenosis-Candidae (Candida albicans, Candida grabrata, Candida krusei, Candida parapsilosis/tropicalis), DNA quantification
- High carcinogenic risk human papillomavirus (genotyping 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68), DNA quantification with indication of virus type
