Male Preventive Profile
Male Preventive Profile is a laboratory testing profile designed for the preventive assessment of the main indicators of men's health.
The package includes tests that provide information about haematological status, metabolism, liver and kidney function, the urinary tract, viral hepatitis, as well as male hormonal health.
Regular preventive testing may help identify changes in the body before symptoms appear and provide the doctor with useful information for recommending additional investigations when necessary.
