Following admission, the check-up begins with the submission of blood and urine samples for comprehensive laboratory diagnostics. This simple examination already provides indications regarding infections, cancer, or stones within the urinary system. Additional urine tests (cytology, UBC, and NMP22 tests) aid in the detection of bladder cancer. A blood analysis, including the determination of your PSA level, enables an assessment of your risk for prostate cancer.

As part of the painless physical examination, a digital rectal examination of the prostate is also recommended. This examination is often performed by your family physician and is supplemented by us with a high-resolution ultrasound examination. Should your PSA level be elevated or if you are experiencing symptoms in the examination area, a prostate MRI—performed without rectal manipulation—is available at the Max Grundig Klinik.

Ultrasound of the entire renal, abdominal, and bladder region; ultrasound of the internal organs; ultrasound of the thyroid gland; as well as ultrasound of the vessels supplying the brain.

Resting and stress ECGs, cardiac ultrasound; if necessary: ​​low-dose CT angiography of the coronary arteries—performed in cooperation with the Radiology Center—to provide a precise visualization of the vessels supplying the heart (as a follow-up examination); if necessary: ​​additional long-term monitoring of your blood pressure over 24 hours, or ECG monitoring under everyday conditions.

Comprehensive and precise lung function testing, ankle-brachial blood pressure measurement, InBody (body fat measurement)
